This is a great lyric resource.

Shhhh. I'm posting while kidsmoke is in the other room.

The closest I'm getting to Solid Sound is my pizza in the bellies of kidsmoke and progeny as they head east from Kansas City. Give sloppy kisses to viatroy who is volunteering this year. Have fun everyone!

Backatcha. I am always happy for the stories of quitting 'cold turkey'. That was not my experience. I have a genetic predisposition to knotheadedness. My point is as long as it takes, one MUST keep trying. Giving in to it is death. Growing up, both of my parents smoked, in the house, all the time. The bottom drawer in the kitchen was filled with packs of Kents and Virginia Slims. Four years ago my dad had a lobe of his lung lopped off because there was cancer growing in it. His surgeon told him that if my dad continued to smoke, he would not treat him. Six months after his surgery my d

I quit smoking 5 times. I hadn't smoked for a couple of years, and it took a highschool reunion, a bottle of wine, 20 cigarettes and 8 hours of poisonous puking to put me off the nicotine for good. That was 7 years ago. Everyone is different, but it can be done. If you fall off, keep getting back on that wagon. The monkey gets bigger and more vicious every time. You owe it to yourself and to your babies.

I mean no harm. I watch very little TV, but when I hear a band I like any place outside of playing them myself, I get happy. That includes TV, radio, doctor's office or drifting through the outdoor market where I eat my lunch.

I don't think we should be talking about this.

Nice!

For me March 11th has a mythical quality, as a good friend her two sisters were also born on that date, years apart. Congratulations Kate, Graham and Emily.

This might be the best thing ever. Somewhere is a photo of me sitting on a bench in front of the conservatory, Thank you Andrew. Now I can live my dream and walk Kew every day if I want.

There is a guy at my grocery store that does that. For hours.

I'm thinking it was the mid to late 70s when I would frequent the store. I remember it being multi storied in an old building. Seemed like a house, but apparently not. From Wikipedia: "The first Borders bookshop, with a meager stock of used books, was located in two rooms above 209 State Street, north of the State Theater. From there the brothers soon moved, briefly, to a tiny ground floor + mezzanine operation in the Maynard House apartment building, on the southwest corner of William and Maynard Streets." Perhaps it was the other State Street location I'm thinking of: "Wahr's had been main

Pretty much the only thing I buy new anymore is groceries.

Book store gone the way of the record store and the video store. Retail outlets for these things are unnecessary, really. The original Borders was a three story house just off campus in Ann Arbor. My first experience in a book store ever. I use to spend hours there.

Wonderful news, Donna! Sure been thinking about you, gal. Still sending all our love.

Much love to you and your family Donna. Keep us posted.

I'll listen again with different ears. Really need to snag the Daytrotter.

Me too. Mixed review on the album. I don't mind the more complex sound a bit. There's a kind of retro 60s Beach Boy feel to it. But Sam's voice, near painfully poignant in past recordings, seems rather bland and homogenized on this album.

Fixed. Somebody was bored on a snow day last week.

Kiss Each Other Clean has leaked.

Sigh.

Oooo, a cab taxi driver and Jodi Foster in one fell swoop. Nice.
