    Can't you hear? Can't you hear them falling... You were the first one here (on main GD50 thread) that really befriended me and for that I am eternally grateful. It was you that helped me fight, keep the faith and make this dream of a trip possible through your delightful insight, genuine wit and kind-heartedness. You truly embrace what we are supposed to be all about. Thank you and fare you well. I hope our paths will cross someday...

    Da dus briving gets tough when the miles add up and the coffee wears off. Even the over-the-roaders stop for a nap in the cab. In this day and age of auto-parallel parking and Google-bot self-driving vehicles, put this sucker on cruise control and curl up in the back seat with the Sarge and family and at least you'll be enjoying the ride. Pass me an Alberta Clipper Porter, will ya? Peace, brother.

    I'll believe it when I don't see you in Chicago. Don't make me sing happy birthday to junior all by myself. Keep the Faith. We are turning the corner, going faster, and getting rounder. The dus hit a few bumps, but no trip is without its challenges. We'll keep a light on for you. See you in Chicago, or maybe a Motel 6!

    after much thought and consideration, I have decided, to step down from briving this dus... the responsibilities are great and expectations I put on myself are greater... please leave me in the email queue...for if I am bestowed another Stinson miracle, I will be in Chicago...suffice it to say Sgt. Pupper has bones for life...and that makes me happy... as it stands, Scott and his girl will be there...be kind to them, I know you will.. the soul searching has given me a different path to follow....the path in my heart, not my head or wallet... please be kind to each other... at this point in my life, I realize this is not my priority, my marriage and kids trump Chicago... I don't miss Jerry anymore, he is in my heart and will always be...til I die... fare thee well for now...and what a long strange trip it has been... rrrrrgrrrr in a better place....

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.

Nice piece of history, growing up in NYC in a semi Polish household....I never heard of it....Moved to Buffalo, and after the first Easter , the following day.... I felt like Gregg Allman....tied to the Whipping Post....chained and bound....cute if not bizarre tradition.... Thanks for your Polish history insight.... maybe if I close my eyes and click my heels 3 times...I won't be Mt T anymore.... ....didn't work....
