    Good morning George and Miami......TGIFF! I miss the arms that used to hold me The tender way we used to kiss I miss the way that you touch me I miss the sweet taste of your lips I was a fool to ever leave you You were a fool to let me go Oh it's so lonesome, lonesome here without you Oh how I miss you so It hurt, it hurt, it hurt so bad You were the best man I ever had Why was I so blind to see? Now the biggest fool is me I miss the arms that used to hold me The tender way we used to kiss (oh Yes) Oh I miss the way you used to touch me I miss the sweet taste of your lips It hurt, it hurt, it hurt so bad 'Cause oh you were the best man I ever had Why was I so blind to see? Now the biggest fool is me Oh, Oh what a fool I was darling, yes And oh you were a fool to let, let me go Why did you let me go? It's so lonesome here without you Oh how I miss you so Oh oh NO!

    @ Happy Friday, Happy People!
    It's a sweet sweet morning. Welcome to da dus Mr. Mark! Dis dus is headed to either NYC or New Orleans and we pick up all hitchhikers on the way. Sometimes...people fall out of da dus but as was discovered recently, you cant actually leave da dus! And da dus wont leave you... Some people are made of plastic And you know some people are made of wood Some people have hearts of stone Some people are up to no good But baby I'm for real I'm as real as real can get If what you're looking for is real loving Then what you see is what you get What you see is what you get What you see is what you get I said what you see is what you get now baby And the real thing is the best thing yet You know some people Are made of lies to bring you down And shame your name But baby, I have good intentions 'Cause breaking hearts just ain't my game All I want to do is love you And sugar I won't pin you with regret If what you're looking for is real loving Then what you see is what you get

    Rabbits hop, family hops...sunny day and watch out for that tree, Miz Holly ma'am... For Mark, a song from the good ol ABB: The gypsy flies from coast to coast, Knowing many, loving none, Bearing sorrow, having fun. But, back home he'll always run, To sweet Melissa. Mmmm-hmmm. Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same. And no one knows the gypsy's name, And no one hears his lonely sighs, There are no blankets where he lies. Lord, in his deepest dreams the gypsy flies, With sweet Melissa. Mmmm-hmmm. Again, the mornin's come. Again, he's on the run. A sunbeam's shinin through his hair. Fear not to have a care. Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on. Roll on. Crossroads, will you ever let him go? Lord, Lord. Or will you hide the dead man's ghost? Or will he lie, beneath the clay? Or will his spirit float away? But, I know that he won't stay, Without Melissa. Yes, I know that he won't stay, yeah, Without Melissa. Lord, Lord, it's all the same. Mmmmm-hmmmmm. Songwriters: ALAIMO, STEPHEN / ALLMAN, GREGG You all have a nice ride today...peace and love!

Well. I don't want to speed up the wheel, but I'm not gonna lie, between the daily grind and the anticipation, it would be cool if we were in Chicago already... quite a bind, and a little confusing if I try to grasp it. I think I'll just let it go and go DRINK SOME WATER Tami. Thank you sis, for the tip ;) Also the moon is starting to show her face again, so things will be smoothing out again, if any of you were wondering why the wheels have felt so wonky lately :)

"...sounds which began as mere noise, like tom-toms and thundering gongs, savage, fanatical, ritual, end by arriving at the purest music." Yes! This is from Dr. Faustus by Thomas Mann. He goes on to describe an artistic work that had the “urge to reveal in the language of music the most hidden things, the beast in man as well as his most sublime stirrings”.

Happy weekend all Coffee's ready, just the way I do it, like an oil-worker's boot dipped in storm water runoff. Taking the better half on an overnight date to see Garrison Keillor do his Prairie Home Companion show at Wolf Trap. Shakedown scene to include Powder Milk Biscuits and ketchup! Promised her I would not mention the Dead for 48hrs, the woman needs a respite from my madness.

Good morning all... As our esteemed dus briving coffee cranking and radio dial twirling captain is off on an adventure, I'll take a quick hand at the wheel...turn up the bass you say? Why sure! Over that away you'll see the amber waves of grain, back to your left you might see if you are looking closely some purple mountain majesties, up above are those spacious skies and just in front are the fruited plains...pretty country isn't it? Let's honor those who gave their lives for our country, this weekend especially, but always keep their spirit alive in our hearts. We salute you, we appreciate you and we lift a glass in your honor! Now let's have some of that hash-slinging, lyric-dropping, free-wheeling banter, as we continue the journey already in progress... Cheerio!

So glad we look out for each other on our cosmic climb to Chicago...great choice of coffee...the wavy gravy rainbow blend is interesting....thought for a minute I saw Faye Wray but then I happened upon my spectacles.... Giving thanks for our great land, those who chose to defend it and those who were forced to do so.... Funny how we as a nation often take these things for granted and tomorrow is not just another one of those Monday days off.... Think I'll take a seat over by that big guy in the monkey suit, hey buddy will ya pass me a banana? Goes good with the donuts and coffee....thanks for the time away General Geo.... Watch out for that tree! Hey Boo Boo, Magilla over here just said "I know"....(disaffectedly)

Dear Chicago FTW, I have received my itinerary for FTW. All your arrows and circles and exclamation points suggest I will be somewhere and everywhere at all times. The FTW weekend promises to be completely epic. Thank you Billy for the invitation. I have received it and thank you Devils Friend for the book. As I romp around this room I see Tami, and fontsman, and rrrrrgrrrr, geo, and stella, and the Doktor, Dire, the mayor, and every Daydreamer there ever was; same as it ever was. Everyone has their Buzzzzz onnnnn. Water flowing underground. Ya just gotta buzz-around. I am high-steppin' into Sweet Home Chicago on Thursday. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. I'm on a mission from Gob. Thank you Chicago FTW for providing me sleep time in the schedule 3 of the 4 nights I am in town. I will believe it when I sleep it! I meet the Queen at noon for the Daydreamer fancy hat contest. New contest? I have the perfect prize. Buzzzzzzz onnnnnnnnn!

Life is too short, so love the one you got 'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot Never start no static, I just get it off my chest Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest Take a small example, take a t-t-t-t-tip from me Take all of your money, give it all to charity....

Corporate office is in Roc town, I will look there, I neglected to mention the smores, did you find the black and tan? went to pick up a quart and it was gone! grabbed a stockboy and he tells me it is discontinued, not by manufacturer, but by Danny the W. Had him clean out the back for 5 quarts, I would bring to pic-a-nic, but the ice cream doesn't travel well.
