I feel a lot the same. Well put.

Oh, ok. The recipe I saw must've been one based on the noodles, then. You're making me hungry. Very hungry. I'll have to find some bhan pho and steal your recipe. I love anything with lime! Here's what I made the other day, a raspberry trifle with almonds and toasted coconut on top. It's fabulous. Please do! This sounds great.

This sounds wonderfully springtimey! Is the bhan pho difficult? The recipe I looked up looked like a real pain in the butt.

I'm pretty good about getting up when I should, normally.....unless I'm really zonked. Then I can hit the snooze button endlessly & never even know I have. I dream deeply. But the real problem in our house is my 16-yr-old son Brennan. This is a kid you need dynamite to awaken, and he's been this way his whole life. I finally bought him a really cool present last Christmas, though I think his parents appreciate it more than perhaps he does.....it's an alarm shaped like a hand grenade that you pull the pin on, and then toss into bed with the recalcitrant sleeper. In about 10 seconds it beg

Maxtheadorable, you have just made my Easter Sunday a day of ham, jellybeans, and elated w00t-iness! The ham and jellybeans were already here, but the was provided by your mention of this poster. Damn, I really am going to have to get a house with more wallspace to accommodate all these beautiful works of art! Thank you, thank you, I'm thrilled! Remind me later; I have something to pass along to you as well! Johnny, Chris, it makes me very happy to know you're still wearing your bracelets from LR3....every time I see mine, it reminds me of what a great night that was, and what

I vote we get Johnny Lackey to design the art for side 4.

Nicely put. thanks for discussing this rationally, instead of with hotheaded putdowns as can so easily happen. Nice to see a differing point of view treated respectfully.

You know, I'll bet it was Love and Mercy, because last night as I wrote that letter, I had that song inexplicably stuck in my head. So I guess on some level, my brain recognized it. Excellent choices!

Oh for pete's sake!!!! I just now realized that the music-blasting-background-but-nobody-on-the-phone last night wasn't our utterly annoying, space-cadet 14-yr-old neighbor girl, who often seems puzzled over simple things like how to operate a phone.....it was you!!!! I was on the phone saying, "Hello? Hello? I can hear you, can you hear me?" and thinking to myself, "Good Lord, Celene (neighbor girl), I am really too busy for this tonight...." ....I had been in the middle of trying to compose a very difficult letter to a dear friend so my mind was elsewhere! It would have been som

Ahhh, the jealousy knows no bounds, but reading it here and experiencing it through all of your eyes (and cameras, very cool, Morgan! ) is definitely the next best thing. Thank you for every description and happy moment shared. In my mind's eye, I was there. Johnny, your poster turned out to be a masterwork. I want to climb right into it and relax in that fantastic treehouse. It's wonderful.

Ah, jealousy, jealousy! Tell me more! I taught years ago at a Montessori school.....a great school to support. Jeff & Sue are so smart to send their boys this way.

I absolutely love the energetic grasp of the glories of life that a two-year-old has. We would all do well to be able to remember what that sense of discovery feels like! Enjoy it, Lynn.

I love Walken, but I guess I'm just tired of it since it's been around quite awhile as a live song. Still sounds good, though.

No, that was me. My local mall is lousy! You should've said hi. And Paul, you missed a great show!

I'm feeling pissy, can I use this thread, gogo? Or do I need to go find a bush out back? Oh ok, I'll behave. *sigh* But where's the fun in that? PS - I understand it was exactly this sort of bickering that broke up Uncle Tupelo.

Are you making fun of Jeff's ears or something, Chris? Because the man has lovely, long pink ears. Don't be rude. My avatar actually dates back to a time when the entire band had similar ears. I'd post it but with the personnel changes over the years, it is no longer representative.

Wishing the very happiest of birthdays to the lovely Leo! Here, I've been slaving in the kitchen all day over this cake for you. Enjoy! It's almost as sweet as you are, Leo. (I nibbled a bit from the back....I knew you wouldn't mind.)

I just saw Ian Hunter about two weeks ago, opening in L.A. for the Zombies. He was terrific! The new songs sound very good. I did notice, though, when he sang "I Wish I was Your Mother", that I found myself wanting to hear Jeff's version instead. Got a handshake and an autograph after the show. That was cool.

.....Jeff sings, "filing into tight lines" in You Are My Face? I can't help but think of Blitzkreig Bop when he sings that..... They're forming in a straight line They're going through a tight wind The kids are losing their minds The Blitzkrieg Bop Welcome to the inner workings of the kidsmoke brain, land of farfetched connections and odd associations. And this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Into "Health Food", are we?

Dearest Whitty, Made this the other night, it was fabulous.

I wanted to thank you all for being so complimentary and supportive. It's meant a lot to Tom that you have celebrated with him. Don't let him give his tired old Ma too much credit....this was due to his own hard work. Mom was usually the one in the background saying, "Hey Tom, could you take a break from studying and hang up this laundry/put away the dry dishes/turn on the sprinkler on the front lawn/tell your sister that if she doesn't stop jumping on the couch and singing at the top of her lungs while holding the poor cat in a death grip, I'm going to wring her neck?" Which is to say, To

Plus I set my camera's antifloofyhair setting before the party. I figured with this bunch of bozos partygoers, it might be a good idea.

I think you're basically right, but don't particularly care I guess. I'm a sucker for stuff that makes me happy. Perhaps a long empty bit before the song would make it less jarring? Edie, or should I say Raquel, I don't know....so far I see this as pretty much unfounded rumor.
