chicago next weekend & seeing a bunch of good friends I miss dearly

walking around manhattan after soundchecks as the sun sets later and later

building a garden in front of our house, picking out some kickin' perennials for it

driving up to my brother's comic book shop on staten island and hanging with him and my mom at it

telling patti how beautiful she is over a big-ass lobster dinner down the shore while the sun sets later and later

driving up to the acreage and pulling a tired old barn down, using the siding to make some frames

saying good-bye to my old pal Shea Stadium this summer (and hopefully Autumn)

getting my pals into the studio and putting some full-band tracks on the next album

the final hall of fame game in cooperstown (shame it can't continue)

touring ireland and england in august as part of dan donnelly's band

grabbing an italian ice at Ralph's and a slice at Denino's as soon and as often as possible (that's why staten island rocks)

cheering my man chris kuffner on while he gets to play bass at stadiums and festivals this summer!!!

seeing what sorts of songbirds show up to our bird feeder (hopefully no more grackles!)

seeing what today holds for me!

that would be a great thread to start, one where folks can help each other along as far as exercise goes. Good luck!

Yeah - I do really well for months at a time, then I get sick or overworked and the next thing I know it's been months since I last hit the gym. Went today for the first time since February. Vicious cycle!
