    Good Morning all and thanks for getting us to this waypoint so nicely. We got us a fine dusbriving coolhead, a leader who knows how to lead, a timekeeper with up-to-the-second accuracy, rounded to the nearest day, and a whole passel of riders who know how the songs go. Hope your coffee is just right, the son shines down on you, and all your music is crispo and clear. Ice cream,? Why thank you, I like Jerry's Cherry Garcia...miss him tho.. Hey you twiddling with the knobs, could you turn up the bass a bit? Thankee kindly... Ahhh...this is the life. g

    I just read your post Graceful....and I am crying like a little girl..... 8/9/95....at work, saving lives and a co worker comes up to me and said, Jerry is dead.... I walked around in a fog the rest of the day....when I found out Bobby had Ratdog on the road and didn't cancel his tour.....I wrote him out of my life....selfish SOB I thought.... I boycotted all things post dead until 2003 when the Dead announced the 2003 tour with Herring and Joan....sat 12th row with my then 15 yo daughter, saw Hunter, Dylan and the Boys.... Opened with a long jam into Music Never Stopped>Casey Jones.... Back on the bus....since....in a very obsessed and some would call sick way....since then both parents died, and despite my wonderful wife of 31 years and 3 magnificent children....here I sit crying... ....there's something about a Sunday, makes a body feel alone.... I too Miss Jerry, and my parents....and you guys who I feel like I know.... disclaimer .....second anniversary of my dads passing.... I'll be better tomorrow...promise.... Coffee is on....

'o nuts? OK, now I really do have to go find some chocolate. Tough road -- there is danger in learning to appreciate fine chocolate, sorta like good wine. Impossible to go back to the plebian, when you get used to good stuff.

The dark stuff (w/out nuts) is my fancy, but it's not the most patrician chocolate. Good for the heart, though. OK, I gotta get back to work before I end up separated from my gainful employment. Peace out, Daydreamers!

Last night and I brought home some peanut butter and birthday cake Oreos. O-r-e-o. Yum. Especially the birthday cake flavor me thinks. Did you know those cookies are vegan?! You don't have to feel so bad for those folks. Good morning! Have a great day!! Okay goodnight.

Mad Swan, I broke my phone yesterday as well. The screen at least. Oh, well, such is life when you forget that picking up that piece of litter means that gravity will induce a separation between phone and pocket. One man gathers what another man spills. Errrrg, sounds like you and Reese's Oreo need to get a room! You know this space is getting hot. I never knew tastebuds had such vast capabilities.... Have a grate day everyone!

...my bet is Lord Stanley's chalice will grace at least one of the shows. Watching it show up all over town was one of the fun-nest parts of the Hawks win. Hey, does anyone remember the year of the giant inflatable purple dinosaur? What about the "unbroken paper chain" that got passed from one side of the Horizon to the other?

Cookies are in my top 5 desert island foods. I thought it would be fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies (maybe oatmeal chocolate chip - hold the raisins please), but I might include ALL cookies so that ALL Oreo flavors and maybe some Pepperidge Farm might be included. Kristine - YES. Any kind of peanut-butter related Oreo sounds like breakfast. My tutu (grandmother in Hawaii) and I had been known from time to time to enjoy a nice moist piece of chocolate cake for breakfast there in paradise. All - there exist both peanut butter AND Reeses peanut butter Oreos. The Reese ones are among the limited edition, such as are the Red Velvet Cake ones... peanut butter > Reese peanut butter ones. Birthday cake flavor > peanut butter. Red Velvet = birthday cake (maybe birthday cake slightly better than Red Velvet). Klang I will have to try the half and halfsies. I have not tried the mint or the (lemon?) yellow ones yet. Anyone? Okay. I have some strange strains of OCD, but you still love me. xo Stellz

Y'all have done it to me now. I couldn't just get the coffee from Starbucks this afternoon. No, I felt strangely compelled to see if there were any CHOCOLATE COOKIE treats. Found one--they call it "flourless" but it tasted just fine to me. They looked at me funny when I tried to order a Reese's Oreo cookie, though.

Oh you crazy money-focused Deadheads you. Personally, I wouldn't have thought it. At least they're not bankers. Not that I have an opinion on that.
