    ...been a week beyond weird, that I may never recover. Momentous shifts in the work arena. I really was dreaming of lions last night. Gotta run - so much to do today. Said shifts mean I have to work, but I still need to do some garden work this morning. This evening, it's Ravinia Festival for Brandi Carlile and the Old Crow Medicine Show. Should be fun. I need some fun. *poof* where did geo go? ah, there he is! Hi, geo! Happy Anniversary. Marriage rocks. ttfn.

    Kristine, to answer your question... one so small you need tweezers to hold it. Walking through forests of palm tree apartments --- scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday --- eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday. Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows --- they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows. Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me. I'm a tiger when I want love, but I'm a snake if we disagree. Just say a word and the boys will be right there: with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air. Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder? Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder. I'll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner.'' This game that we animals play is a winner. Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me. I'm a tiger when I want love, but I'm a snake if we disagree. The rivers are full of crocodile nasties and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass. He's a lover of life but a player of pawns --- yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn to light up His Jungle as play is resumed. The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.

    Blue Moons and Fridays and Mystics
    Happy Friday, everyone...TGIF indeed for those of us in a traditional 5 day work week. Was it one month ago we were all giddy with excitement? As the first week of August looms, let's celebrate Jerry's birth and life...a nine-day Jerry week for those who look at the bookends of Birth and Death. This upcoming week my sweetheart and I are celebrating 20 years sharing, laughing, crying, working, playing, loving, living and enjoying life together. Once in a blue moon a gem comes around, and I am so thankful and humble that she strolled into my life. This goes out to my honey Lynne', a throwback to 1970 and Van Morrison...Kristine, this was posted earlier but shut down for an admin review of a link to u-tube...you weren't imagining things... We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won As we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly Into the mystic And when that fog horn blows, I will be coming home And when the fog horn blows, I want to hear it I don't have to fear it And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And magnificently we will fold Into the mystic When that fog horn blows, you know I will be coming home And when that fog horn whistle blows, I gotta hear it I don't have to fear it And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will fold Into the mystic Come on, girl Too late to stop now

    A mother once she had a lovely daughter,The mother was an actress on the stage; She traveled with a troop of awful lions, And every night went in them lions' cage. One night the daughter had a premonition, That everything that night would not be right-- And so she told her mother, in the kitchen, "Don't go in them lions' cage tonight!" Don't go in them lion's cage tonight, Mother Them lions are ferocious and they bight! And in their angry fits, they could tear you all to bits So don't go in them lions cage, tonight! The mother laughed " Ha! Ha!" to hear this warning That unto her, her daughter tried to give, Said she "I do not fear them awful lions Not one of them could make me cease to live!" She went into that cage of awful lions The lions were ferocious as could be. "Alas!" she cried, when one strode up and bit 'er, "I now recall what daughter said to me." "Oh who will save my mother" cried the daughter, "By lions she is being bit and et!" "I will!" replied a young man from the gallery, "I'll save your mother from them brutes, you bet!" He stepped into that cage and grabbed the mother From lion biting she was almost dead, "Here is your ma" he said to her, and kissed her For he the maiden loved and soon did wed.

OMG folks....my guess is virtually all of our beloved and patient spouses are on that same bus. It was last week I think when Klang had a great idea that we should create a t-shirt for them. I ran it by my wife and she came up with this: "MY MARRIAGE SURVIVED THE FTW-GD 50th !!"

Steve welcome. my wife is along for 1 show. kids along for the rest. big debate whether wife should attend 4th of July...we "feel" this will be the rocking-est; or the Sunday shows, which "could" be more emotional. So far, she picked Saturday, anticipating US Blues and Jack Straw. Oldest son's job on Sunday is too keep me from completely melting down at the last song. Good luck with that, son. grrrr...what happened to your buh-wheat post?

Not sure how I feel about Mondays. "I like it, but it doesn't like me" or something similar to that Jimmy Stuart said in the best Philadelphia Story. Want to drop out but also want to patch those sails... I once heard that political correctness was invented by the right. Without making a judgement call on directional leanings, the nature of each make political correctness a farce and parody of itself. Nothing wrong with consciousness, inclusion, awareness, tolerance, and respect though. I'm all about that. I have ten fingers and ten toes and I miss/ed Jerry. My sister is not coming to Chicago but she's along for the ride in Santa Clara. I ask if she wants to come just Saturday or Sunday and - bless her heart - she says "I want to go Saturday. That way if I want to go Sunday too I can." She's got a spark of faith she do. Know telling how far she'll go down the road ;) "And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to" - Shovels and Rope Everyone get enough coffee? I'm tempted to make another pot.

Okay I am slow on the uptake but as I was reading about your wife's t-shirt idea - grate idea BTW -it finally hit me that when my husband is saying WTF?!?!? He is just spelling FTW backwards right? He is actually, subconsciously, calling on all Freudians here, expressing his joy about the shows! Am I right?

Cuz the vandals took the handles. When will we learn this never works. Just sucks and riding out the rage. This town had a chance for a few days to make a statement that would have been heard. There was a lot of sympathetic ears to the story of a young man dying in police custody with a broken back. Even the proper folk round here looked beyond a criminal record to see things went too far. All that gone. Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name

Bro, I hear you... From Ferguson to Baltimore, protesting is one's 1st amendment right; but looting and destruction of property are crimes. Extremely sad societal statement. Don't blame your great city - the issue is much, much larger.

Hey now brother, don't you be messin' with the Spectrum. Most famous and MOST PLAYED building in the entire east coast. We were nice enough to let you "up to Buffalo" folks even come down for a few shows :-) Sat row 2, sect 102 (dead center) for the last show in '09 (The Dead") with they unveiled the tie-die 53 banner in the rafters. What a moment.... If I had my way, I would tear this ole' building down... And with that they closed and after that came the wrecking ball on the old gal.

I've jumped thru the avatar hoops too, and the solution seems to be to do the following: 1) Remove picture from profile. 2) Do not add new picture. 3) Close your computer down. 4) Click your heels three times. 5) Turn your computer on again. 6) Wait 48 hours. 7) Add profile picture. It appears there are avatar gremlins and trolls lurking about, and they quickly replace all new pictures with the old one. The trick is to wait a couple of days, using no picture at all when you post. When you finally do log on and decide to add the picture, the gremlins and trolls have partied, slept, have awoken with groggy minds, and have forgotten about the old picture, allowing your new picture to appear in its rightful place. Good luck...btw, Item #4 is not mandatory, but if it feels right, do it anyway. Disclaimer: Void where prohibited, not valid in states with snow, results may differ, and objects in mirror may be closer than you think...allow 46 weeks for delivery. all the best....and good luck geo

Peace and prayers go out to those in chaos. Don't understand the mindset of destruction of property and disruption of innocent lives to make a point "against" the establishment. You are defending the rights of individuals against such crimes by committing worse crimes. Senseless! Violence begets violence. When will people ever learn...(super sad)
