I am unhappy that I missed this, but as my dad is freshly home from the hospital, I had other things on my mind. He's fine, thanks, but gave us all a good scare with internal bleeding! A medication problem, apparently. I think another live broadcast would be a great way to celebrate my papa's recovery, right Wilco?

They're saying to expect $5/gal. by summer.

I'm so glad her family was able to get a sense of how many lives she touched. I'm comforted that we were able to bring comfort to them! Thanks, Maudie.

Thanks so much, Geoff! I can't wait to hear it!

My kids just took me to see Iron Man....not my typical sort of movie, but we all had a great time! Bjorn's right, Downey was very good in it. And while we're discussing Iron, The Iron Giant is one of my very favorite movies as well. Just beautiful.

I want to read that!

Robert, sorry, I didn't see your posts. Let me give the moderators a shake & see if we're up to revitalizing this project. VC went through a lot of changes in the past couple of years, and a lot of those who were once interested in doing songs for this seem to have dropped out. I'll get back to you & cousin tupelo.

Damn, Jen, how'd I miss your special day? So sorry to be late, but I hope you had a beautiful birthday & will have a glorious year ahead!

Thank you, Warner.

Love and the happiest of birthday wishes to a wonderful concert buddy! For you, Sarah....Hummingbird cake! Have a wonderful new year of your life!

Evonne, I am in awe of your talents! Those are incredible.

YAY Binky! Looking forward to your recording, and glad you got a great show to make up for the unavoidably-cancelled one last year!

Happy Birthday to somebody who can always manage to make me laugh! Have a great day & a great year!

Sounds amazing.

Well, I'm intrigued! What's it about, in 20 words or less?

You made me snort with laughter. Unattractive, but fortunately I was alone. At least now I understand why TMM isn't managing Spoon anymore. Thanks for the clarification.

Oh, Kate, his spirit surges from that photo. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! Yes, I definitely see him in Emily. She carries what was best and brightest in him.

I hug you across the miles for being easily amused.

That looks fascinating, but deeply depressing! Snakes on a Plane(t).....how do you read it as recreational reading? But then some writers can make even such a topic pretty damned riviting.

Hug your folks for me, Dunja.

This thread is such a great idea, Jay. Your brother sounds like he was a wonderful, true original. Thanks for sharing him with us. I, too, lost a beloved brother not so long ago. Maybe I can find a nice picture to post. The missing never stops, but the pain fades, fortunately.

Happy birthday, Lou! Sweets for the sweet. Have a great day & a great year!

Love to one of the sweetest guys I know! Welcome to your 30's, they're gonna be grand! Now that you are settling into middle age, I made you a plaid cake! Now you just need socks and a sweater vest to match.

We love you, Kate.
