    I think if you start a "blog" it will allow you to post photos to the blog. Not sure yet on dedicated photo page... We're movin from da dus to a "techno-house". Geo, does the livingroom have a fireplace? @rrrgrrr glad you enjoyed the show last night. Props to the boys. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Summer's thunder time of year, The sound of music in my ears. Distant bells, New mown grass smells so sweet. By the river holding hands, Roll me up and lay me down. And if you sit, Don't make a sound. Pick your feet up off the ground. And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange, Sing to me, sing to me. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Children's laughter in my ears, The last sunlight disappears. And if you sit, Don't make a sound. Pick your feet up off the ground. And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange, Sing to me, sing to me. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Children's laughter in my ears, The last sunlight disappears.

    @Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
    Stones at Ralph Wilson Stadium last night.. Quite entertaining....more like a Broadway show, choreographed.... Can't help but think there was something behind the curtain.... Backing tracks ala ELO or Millie Vanilli The show was too damn perfect.... Back in the 70's they were garage band sloppy, not last night. Interesting this zip code tour set has a running time of 2 hours and 10 minutes.... Every show 2 hours and 10 minutes, not 9 not 11.... but I digress.... Glad I got to see them one more time, Mick for a 71 yo has the body of Twiggy....and a lot of energy... IMO the night belonged to Charley Watts....the man can still bring it.... Now on to other matters.... Some folks trust to reason Others trust to might I don't trust to nothing But I know it come out right Say it once again now Oh I hope you understand When it's done and over Lord, a man is just a man Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land Some folks look for answers Others look for fights Some folks up in treetops Just look to see the sights I can tell your future Look what's in your hand But I can't stop for nothing I'm just playing in the band Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land Standing on a tower World at my command You just keep a turning While I'm playing in the band If a man among you Got no sin upon his hand Let him cast a stone at me For playing in the band Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land

    Once again my friend, a spot-on post. I'm as much to blame as anyone, especially given Geo's generosity to fund the SD.com URL. Maybe it's the navigation, maybe it's the UI, but I could use a little schooling on say, how to get straight to the blogs, post & read, or, how to download & upload shared pics. Anyone care to take a swag at a user manual/SD.com for dummies documentation?

    Our Basic Problem: The tools don't match the function
    The Sunshine Daydreamers are alive and well. The Sunshine Daydreamers remain electrified by what happened in Chicago and want to continue to share the experience. The tools we are using to get that done, however, are showing their weaknesses. The flaws on the email side are apparent: the stream of consciousness, reply all activity can be exhilarating when there is a hot topic, but that is better suited to a chat room function, and so last week we had several more people withdraw from the email list in frustration. The Dead.net forum has obvious shortcomings as well, principally that its only organization is chronological: if there had been a new Pearl of the Day several days ago from Meister Geo, I would only find it by wading back through pages of song lyrics; and then I would only be hoping to find something because there is no possibility to check if there is a new post from a particular individual. It would seem to we need to all take a step forward, as one, to the SunshineDaydreamers.com site that was so generously organized for us. There is a blog section that can have thematic organization (so that the discussion last week about which covers were played would not be spread over four email threads (none of the Subjects of which mentioned playlists nor covers)). I have not seen enough posting to know for sure, but it seems possible that one can approach that forum and check to see who has made a new post, and then make a choice whether to have a look at the 196 posts by one person or the 3 posts from someone else. Yes, there is a password, but we all had passwords on Dead.net where we started out, so that can't really be much of an obstacle. Just sayin people, we need to channel this gusher of love and enthusiasm; got to make sure its built to last.

rrrrgrrrr, you reminded me of a wisecrack my classmate made back in the day when Alanis moved on from her Britney phase to boyfriend-bash rock. She said there's actually nothing ironic in Ironic--just replace the words with "isn't it a bummer?" Not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in China, but it sure makes me want to have a nice sammie with jarlsberg, avocado and sprouts!

Thanks for contributing the info on the suites. Been thinking lots about the possibilties. So which beers are on tap and what time does Scorsese show up to do lap dances? Guess it's a corporate write off for some? I'd rather dance with the mobs.

Some one wasn't going to win. It was awesome how Wisconsin took Kentucky out. Both teams were special. Now we wait to do it again next year. Being a Minnesota Viking fan since Bud Grant & Joe Kapp, I can relate to the frustrations of being a fan. As for pro football I finally devised a solution. Keep your true feelings secret. Buy A jersey for every team in the league and wear the one from which ever team wins the Super Bowl that year. Every year you get all the shout outs and high fives and none of the ribbing. Usually no one remembers you wore a different jersey last year.

Talk... this tricoastal gal (Oahu, Boston, Best Coast) loves that kind of talk! It's weird not being from just one place... Hawaii is my blood, bone, and heart, but I'm a nomad through and through. Hopefully I can lay me down back in the islands. Until then, the four winds have blown just so.

In 1986 Jerry was seen in a red t-shirt. He looked like Jerry Claus, or a big strawberry, depending how hungry and high you were. The little elves on stage were mischievous little devils.

isn't the only place in the USofA to celebrate Dingus, Chi town has a huge Polish population... Dyngus (or Dingus) Day falls on the Monday after Easter. Started in Poland as a way to provide merriment after the seriousness of Lent comes to an end. The tradition began when farm boys in Poland wanted to attract notice from the girls of their choice. It was custom to throw water and hit the girls on their legs with twigs or pussywillows. Cologne was used instead of water by the more gallant lads. The ladies would reciprocate by throwing dishes & crockery and Tuesday was their day of revenge, imitating the same tactics.
