a bit of Natalie...

"While the young folks were having their good times ,,some of the mothers were giving birth to their babies. Three babies were born in our company that summer. My cousin, Emily, gave birth to a son in Utah, forty miles North of the Great Salt Lake one morning. But the next morning she traveled on 'til noon when a stop was made and another child was born, this time Susan Mollmeyer.

And gave the baby the name Alice Nevada."

The Weather

SUNDAY !!!!!!!

Greeting from a Sunday morning,,, MY RLS is getting worse,, and I cannot really sleep more then a few hours at a time,,,, Hey,, this ain't a huge deal,,, Not the BIG "C" or any real life threatening disease,,, Just a few LEG QUAKES - attacks as I call them,,,, can't relate,,, think about having to pee,,, and you can;t go for a half an hour,,, so you can't sit still or sit down,,, that's about as close as I can get to describing the sensation that you just have to move your legs,,, and the Pills only make me more tired,,, anyway,,,

A little Joan, for a Sunday,,, she has a new Cd out,,, that I have to go get,,,,but for now you get a few older ones,,,, and I know I have advised you before to go get her CD's,,, especially Shouting Stage or Secret Secrets,,, ot the LIVE CD,,, What are you waiting for,,, ???

the new one,,, THIS CHARMING LIFE

I am being Followed !!

Seriously.,.... I got in the car this morning at 3:38AM,,, and there it was ! Out for Breakfast to the Provisions,,, Saturday B.E.C. little pepper, little ketchup.... and there it was,,,!! On my way over to one of my offline production areas,,, and again,,, there it is !!

OMG - HOW CAN IT BE ,,,is there a radio station that plays ALL SPIN DOCTORS !! all the time ???



reminded me of a few other bands of that era,,,, and genre...

ConeHead Buddha


and hows about the New Rhythm and Blues Quartet

oh yea -- I mean ........... NRBQ !
with a Johnny Cash song,,

Weekend Madness

ok,, so My bracket took a major hit on DAY one,,, but I did better on DAY two.,,,,We will see after today, and tomorrow,,, how I do getting the Sweet 16 !!

I woke up ,,my usual 1am,,,and could not sleep,,, and 4 cats in the Bed ,, Geez,,, can someone sleep somewhere else ??? anyway there was this doumentary on about Joe Strummer.

From WIKIpedia: John Graham Mellor (21 August 1952 – 22 December 2002), better known by his stage name Joe Strummer, was the co-founder, lyricist, rhythm guitarist and lead singer of the English punk rock band The Clash. He was also a member of The 101ers, The Mescaleros and, temporarily, The Pogues. and before you jump to the conclusion that his death was drug or Alcohol related,,, NOPE ,,, a congenital Heart defect ....

So,,, today you get Train in Vain..



Police on my Back


and LONDON Calling with a few guys you probably recognize,

That's "Little" Steve VanZant, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighteres, and Nirvana), Springsteen, and Elvis Costello

Beginning to end

Well ,, the start of the weekend,,, especially a WORKING weekend is always good,,, and after today, i will have that one SUNDAY - to go,, then this crazy schedule get's good with 5 of the next 7 days off, and 7 of the next 11 days off,,, before we then return for the Long weekend. March is sorta a dismal Month,,, usually a wet, rainy , Muddy month down in the Towns, as BearClaw Chris Lapp (Will Geer) states in Jeremiah Johnson....



Any way,,,, I am recently obsessed with the Thought of Retirement,, I don't know if that's a statement on my present job,, or that I can't wait(as usual) to get to the next thing.. I am increasingly worried that I will never get to retirement, that of health (death) or Monetary constraints,, (broken plan). I am Thinkin , just what will I do when I retire,,, I have no REAL skills,, no teaching ability, no technical skill, nothing that I am expert in,,, and no one is that eager to learn anything for a Jack of all Trades, Master of NONE !! So maybe time to get off my butt, and LEARN something,,, A/C , and refridgeration,,, I loved my Boat so maybe something along those lines,,, I like being outside,,, perhaps that,,, and oh for right now,, I gotta get back to the job that they are paying me pretty well to do ,,, ..

Ok,, so what is the Video of the Day ???

Sheldon !!

Greetings,,, so by now you know that the beloved Winnie the Pooh or Pooh bear,,,is actually "Edward Bear" and if you had to look it up,,, it might be that you are takin life a bit too seriously... I will tell you a secret,,, well now a secret,,, but a little know fact,,, I was thrown out of a 4th grade class in Catholic school cause I could not get thru reading aloud the Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree - where Pooh gets stuck in Rabbit's front door,,, the whole ... "it all comes said Rabbit from eating too much" , and "it all comes said Pooh from not having front doors big enough" plus Christopher Robin reading the front hlaf of Pooh, and Rabbit hanging his laundry on the back half!!!

The lines just made me laugh,,, and you know Nuns are not much for laughter... sent me to the Principal,,, Sister Mary Margaret.. she at least , had a sense of humor !

And I still use the Terminology .. "Wedged (Bear) in Great Tightness" for things that are stuck !

http://www.just-pooh.com/story1.html




and what was the 2nd thing,, oh yea,,,, now some folks think that Chip only has one tooth,,, Not true,,, Both Chip and Dale have TWO teeth,,,, It's just that Chips teeth are together, and Dale has that "Letterman" thing going on,... and has a gap between them,,, Also CHIP has the BLACK (ChocolateChip) nose, and Dale a Reddish/Brown, larger nose,,,,
