102?! Wow.

"Jackie Wilson Said"- Van Morrison

Positive vibes and white light to surround you and your family and your brother.

The "don't listen to him?" Me too. For sure. The thing starts with some crowd dude saying, in thick and deep burner tone, "Jerry, play 'St. Stephen'" and some chick with falsetto echoeing the "St. Stephen" and then laughter from the stage.....

The Rays have consistently been a thorn in the side of BOS for a bunch of years now. No matter.

I used to catch Whalers games at the Hartford Civic Center all the time as a kid. Gordie Howe was old then, too.

Christ.

Somebody better get the Beasties up before Sir S. throws one of you through a plate-glass window.

I like the Okerjeemer pic.

I used to hate meatloaf night when I was a kid. Onions and shit.

I've got a copy (it's pretty shakey) that some dude shot that the owner of the bar gave me. I think I've watched it once.

Ryan played with Phil in the Denver Fillmore one night and up at Red Rocks the next (not to mention that impromptu gig at a bar next door during rehearsal I've mentioned a bazillion times around here).

Yeah I've been to the Denver one a ton. It's a great sounding room. Phil's there for two nights in a few weeks.

Cripes, that's almost more confusing than my memory.

Maybe. I think the original one was moved and then damged by the earthquake in 1989. Or something. I thought that the original one had been renovated in the 90s, though, and that it's the same one used today. I may be way off on this, but if memory disserves.... I was hoping to swing by after work....

I don't give a rat's ass if Oprah recommended it or not. It's been recommended to me by people who's opinions I respect. That's enough for me. I also have no problem with digging into a highly touted self-help book. "Warmed-over?" Fine. "All figured out?" I don't think the book makes this claim. I understand that the self-help industry is over-run with this type of book. The Grapes of Wrath was still a great book before Oprah plugged it, though. I'll have to wait on my opinion of the Tolle book until I actually read it, though.

He has feelings, Jules. Feelings.

I did. It was the first one I read a few months ago and I agree. I mentioned this earlier, I think, but O'Brien is the type of writer who creates sentences/images that cause me to put the book down and think in the middle of a paragraph, chapter, whatever. That's THE sign, for me.

Yeah, I finished July, July last night. Excellent book. I'm about 50 pages into ITLOTW. Thanks to kim and a few others around here, O'Brien has become one of my favorite writers. Simply brilliant.

Something needs to be done with the voting system. The least favorite should be voted off instead of people voting for their favorite. It's a weak system.

The show has really lost it's appeal to me. Pretty much about 3-4 weeks ago. Such ennui.

As I said, I don't think I've gotten one vote-off correct. There seems to be little rhyme/reason to the voting.

And yet she stays!

Haven't started it but it's been recommended to me. It looks like a book I can definitely use right now. A blurb: "Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now." In "A New Earth," Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to
