Grateful Dead

Two home runs....alright Nick. Great Job man.... Hey Chris, I've been curious about kombucha, can you get the cultures at Earthfare?

The mail brought excellent news to our household today - the oldest daughter recently graduated from HS and her grades came today - 4.07 GPA! She just finished reading "A Confederacy of Dunces" because she's going to Tulane, NOLA. (Then she plunged into "On the Road" and is presently tackling Big Chief & Randall M in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." And, of course, up next will be "The Electric Koolaid Acid Test" - at this point she's luke on the Dead, who knows - at least she has good taste in literature!) She'll be 18 in July and wants to be a doctor - she'll be a good one! She's playing in the St Louis High School All-Star soccer game Friday night - she's living in a dream right now. My wife, especially, needed this little tidbit because someone stole her catalytic converter the other night - so from tears of woe to tears of joy, let the good times roll (or however the French say it)!!! "Where does the time go?"

Great news Kevin. Congrats to your daughter, and sorry about the catalytic converter.

One of my all time favs. That is great. Congrats to Mom and Dad as well as to the daughter. Continued success and joy. (nevermind the occasional catalytic converter mishap?)

You might be able to get a starter kit at Earth Fare but I doubt it. They usually cost about 50 bucks anyway. I'll hook you up with one if you can make it to Asheville.

Congradualtions!! You're right your daughter sounds like she has excellent taste in literature. What a ride, I can't imagine how she ~ (or you & your Wife, for that matter), must be feeling Right on! PEACE PS Stealing car parts? I mean, did ya'll notice evidence or just try to take a drive, to no avail?

Yes, indeedy - Mrs. Deadicated said she started her car (after working an all night shift) and it sounded like a 747! Scared half to death a couple ladies standing neaby. "Where does the time go?"

excellent news about your daughter and did she come into those books on her own or did someone casually leave them laying around. and a soccer all-star too, ya'all must be real proud, congrads to u and her! and who takes the time to steal a catalytic converter ?? musta really needed just that part, can't imagine a huge blackmarket for em...life is weird

Congrats Deadicated ! Your daughter sounds like a wonderful person!! Grate tastes in literature too!!Peace, Gigi

well I have no idea what a 4.07 GPA is, but it is obviously good! Good luck to her with what ever the future brings. You may be glad that she has not inherited her father's Deadhead tendencies. Mixed with a generous dose of Live Dead, the influence of some of those books created a multi-year 'gap' in my life which I am only now slowly piecing together. Still I am sure she is far more sensible that me, but I wonder if she has inherited Deadicated's predilection for filing everything by date ;-)

Congrats to you and the misses and your very smart daughter. Best of luck to her in college. For those who don't know, catalytic converters contain precious metals. With the relatively recent spike in the price of these metals, it is becoming more common for creeps to saw them off your car and cash in. Pathetic, but true.

Hey everybody - I invite you all to check out my new Dead show on mvyradio,com. It is aptly named Shakedown Stream and it streams weekly every Tuesday at 5pm. If you miss it, you can listen to the archives of the old shows or you can also download it for podcast. Go to myvradio.com and poke around. Peace - Jer Bear

to Mr. and Mrs. Dedicated and your daughter for her achievements. Looks like she is delving into the vault of our written culture, I remember when I read thos books and how much they have meant to me. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Congrats Kevin on your daughter's fine grades! Confederacy of Dunces is one of my favorite books. If she hasn't read it already, she should read Catch-22, similar in humor.

Have a grate and ful summer! pk

super solstice of summer sun shine shine shine on thee

After driving the same vehicle for 15yrs. I finally went a bought a new to me vehicle. Might not be the PC vehicle with the price of gas these days but.... I have my first vehicle in 22yrs of driving with A/C. Anyone in NC that is looking for a 93 toyota 4x4p/u pm me.

I have had a day of many smiles and a lot of love. I hope the same for all ! Have a Great Day, Mike

Have a Great Day, Mike

I've just been thinking about this and smiling My son’s grandmother took her 11 year old daughter to see the Dead on 6 May 1970 in Kresge Plaza in Cambridge Mass. Then over 20 years later his mother and I took our son to see the Dead on 30 October 1990 in London (when he was 8) . I suppose there are lots of stories like that, but its great to think of the Unbroken Chain through the generations.

Makes me smile too. I went to my first show,the soundtest at cow palace 3-23-1974 the evening after my brothers morning wedding. Never forget sitting in the back of their dodge dart - push button shifting - on the way from sacramento to sf with my best friend. Our first concert,my brothet kept saying - you will never forget this,there are no concerts like this.They are different. It was our first concert,my friend and I. We never forgot. peace,pk

had his bid accepted to buy a house! Closing date 8-1-08. So he will be moving on/out. My little boys are growing up. It is great to see them taking these 'big steps'. One down 3 to go! ;o}

very cool for your son and you!! :)

With what will he christen his listening space, Dad? Congrats! You're still playing zone, though, with three to go! "Where does the time go?"

not sure if the moderators will object but I'm trying to do my part to spread the word...please take 30 seconds to declare your support by signing this petition to raise the dead... http://www.petitionthedead.com/

petiton the dead......petiton the dead........... YOU CAN NOT PETITION THE DEAD now in reality, my daughter took two 1st places in the district swim meet before it was called because of lighting last nite. one in medley relay, she swam butterfly with her BFF backing up in freestyle, they came in a pool length ahead of the rest and the second was in the individual medley where she wiped out the competition, only cooler because she asked at the last minute to swim in it... and it was against all boys..heHA Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.

[subject said in my best Butthead voice] Hahahahahahahahahah!!!!! Friggin awesome, TC! Mas props to the daughter! Talk about "shrinkage..." Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

they were ashamed to get out of the water :o

Grate job :) Was it sweet Melissa?

she thought it was pretty sweet!!!off thought... yaknow, i don't think i've ever met a melissa that wasn't

hey-TC-congrats on the swim team daughter! I'm so proud of her. I, too was on the swim team starting @ age 7-17......still attempt it now & then-unfortunately, not regular like I should -A family of swimmers I'm from.........my uncle, swam daily til he was 93 (although alot slower)..........later on......Gypsy Cowgirlps-the grandson is on the way to the swim team-he's 4 & a half

My wife and I are celebrating our 28th wedding aniversary tonight. ;o)

You go, Oro. Congratulations and best wishes. "Where does the time go?"

and it brings a big grin to my face, to read that 'where does the time go?'. Indeed. And then thinking of Mary and I at those Winterland shows 31 years ago, and the Red Rocks 30 years ago...... counting stars by candlelight....;o}. Congrats and best wishes much appreciated.

Happy Anniversary to you and your beautiful wife :)28 years wow way to go!!

After meeting you both I felt the warmth of the love and caring in your relationship. Keep it going. Good work on those boys too. Say hi to everyone for me. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake
