    Time to change the way I've been feeling today, with good music. Just found myself laughing uncontrollably out of pure joy. Worry move out of my way, because I'm feelin' alright.May a smile light all of your faces.

    same story...
    Going to be the best sort of garden day... potting and puttering. It's the time of summer where the potted plants begin to grow monstrous, and I remind myself that I was supposed to cut back this year. Mutant-ly large petunias are rampant, and it smells like a Victorian lady's bust -- powdery sweet and a little overdone. Blissful high pressure ruled the weather last week, but the heat and humidity are creeping their way back. I can feel the barometer dropping, and it's going to feel like NOLA around here, real soon. So, I'm out to enjoy it while I can. I need to work today, but that's for later this afternoon, when it's icky outside. ttfn...

    Good to see you Ms Katniss and King George..... Trixie has certainly helped transform the bus into a mobile jukebox.....her energy is infectious.... Our destination is not important....the mere fact that we remain together in mind and spirit fuels that elusive fire of kindness.... This one goes out to Kristine...... As I am strolling down the garden path, I saw a flower glowing in the dark. It looked so pretty and it was unique; I had to bend down just to have a peek. Hello old friend, It's really good to see you once again. Hello old friend, It's really good to see you once again. I saw you walking underneath the stars; I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car. I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far If I got out and walked to where you are. An old man passed me on the street today; I thought I knew him but I couldn't say. I stopped to think if I could place his frame. When he tipped his hat I knew his name. Nothing left to do but smile, Smile, SMILE!

    Walk along with me to the next bend? Nice to see you all here. I used the very last leftover Giordano's pizza plate with my lunch yesterday. Profound? haha.

    @The Kindness
    ...hey, 'morning...that seat taken? thanks...just musing away on a Sunshiny Saturday, as that second cuppa Joe that rjrrjr handed me is just about sipping temperature. We had a blast leading up to the shows,didn't we, and had a bigger blast at the shows, and will continue to have a blast afterwards huh, for the music never stops. Brain might rest, body says whoa, but the music? Listen...there it is... And to all you wranglers and wranglerettes of the merchandise, I share the frustration, which can dang near happen anytime you order stuff on-line. Thanks for the heads up on the sizes, and I'll amend my order for the tie dyed socks accordingly. Mickey said at the close of the 07/05 show, "...take this feeling with you, and be kind." Those are words to live by. How many of us, in a quiet time close our eyes...not you dus briver...and hear the music...I do, and smile inward and outward and take a big breath and sometimes sighhhh as I let it out. Kindness. The memory of our preparation, the anticipation, the excitement of those emails, our meet-ups, the fantastic shows, the family, the handshaking strangers, the lights, the pic-a-nic, the vibe, the love, and always always the music itself...what a grand experience we all had and are having. Sure, each journey was different, and even though we arrived at our destinations mostly separately at different times in body, we were together and spot-on in spirit. Thank you family...and as you go thru the weekend and week ahead, don't sweat the little stuff..and it's mostly all little stuff, my Sister says...and listen for the ripple in still water. Sure, you can try to figure out who didn't toss the pebble, and why the dang wind isn't blowing; matters not. Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, and if it ain't? Well, you know all the rules by now, and the fire from the ice...Be Kind... The Gold of Sunshine can warm you, as can the memory of all those magical experiences...take that feeling with you...and Be Kind... geosunshinedaydreamersforevermeister

    fare thee well merch
    That's odd, I'm usually a medium or a large and when i tried shirts before the show, the medium is what fit. Good quality too, maybe they only put out the cream of the crop at the show and saved the cruddy stuff for online sales?

    re FTW Merch...
    It's a shame that many of us, and really all I'm sure, were whacked by the off-sizing scale the merch mfg used in these items. When I bought my hoodie in Chicago, no kidding, as an "XL" t-shirt dude, I was upsized to a 4XL hoodie. It fits perfect - loosely like a hoodie should but 4XL? Never in my lide would I have ordered a "tent" hoodie. Lana's ladies tank was the purple $60 item and it was garbage. Logo off center and crooked. What a joke. Insult to injury was plunking down another $5.95 for express ship back to Ontario, CA (and the trip up and back to the USPS) for the shipping. Rich said it best...it's ovah !!!

I Lived in Buffalo for each and every Super Bowl loss. Didn't watch a game for years after number 4. That gave me an appreciation for soccer, although I do go to Bucs games when the team is in town and look for a slam of the Bucs I am now a full Tampa Bay Rowdies fan though. Ralph's Mob rules!

...for beating those nasty classless poor sports, the Seahags. Almost the best day in football, ever (and I don't like the Pats either). The exception: Russell Wilson has class and is a good sport, too bad he hasn't rubbed off on the rest of the team or the coach.

I know this sounds crazy, but cayanne pepper is a vascular dialator and will allow more blood to regions starved for it, many with migranes find relief from snorting a small amount, think matchhead. It will burn. Many report after the burn, headache is gone. I'm not sure how bad it would be, but I use a caynne based nasal spray, and after s short burn, sinus is clear. If you try it start small.

Yessiree...it works if indeed she has migraines, but if it's another cause it could steal her face right off her head..... Saw someone in an ER with a hemorrhagic nose bleed after snorting crushed red pepper, why I asked, did you do that? Response....cause I could..... then there was the guy with the lightbulb up his.... But I digress....

I do tend to get migraines, and though these current headaches have been on the tamer side, I attribute them to migraines since I do suffer from them, and also the three days in a row thing. They have been subsiding with medication - and my headache is better right now though my head not back to normal. I am DEFINITELY going to get some cayenne to keep on deck!! Thanks Boo! It's strange that I haven't heard that suggestion. I've done worse in my younger days, I think I'll be able to handle it and as I love spicy foods I might even like it. I guess I'll have to think twice about telling anybody anything about "where the light don't shine." Apparently, that is everywhere. Keep Stella Blue.

again I emphasize, start small! I consume a teaspoon or two of the cayenne daily, a 1/2 teaspoon in a cup of hot water a couple times daily, it keeps veins open wide, good for many ailments. Google cayenne health benefits, you will be suprised at the number of things it helps. Keep it away from rrrrgrrrr or he won't be able to sit down for a week.

My daughter pulled second place in last nights Talent show Playing "Wayfaring Stranger". Man,! She was packing some soul!!! Tonight's her sweet sixteen party,..I have to write a Toast,..I am no public speaker, and dread such things. It is so incredible to see what a beautiful young woman she has become.
