    @ This must be the place
    I found a log cabin home and an A frame house that are awesome. Now I just need someone to put a contract on mine. Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I feel numb - born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the sky It's ok I know nothing's wrong... nothing Hi yo I got plenty of time Hi yo you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money Always for love Cover up and say goodnight... say good night Home - is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home - she lifted up her wings I guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from another Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time Before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be... where I'll be Hi yo We drift in and out Hi yo Sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home and, Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me till my heart stops Love me till I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots Hit me on the head Ah ooh

    @home.....I like to be there when I can....
    Nothing wrong with the simple side of life..... Winding paths through tables and glass First fall was new Now watch the summer pass So close to you. Too late to keep the change, Too late to pay, No time to stay the same Too young to leave. No pass out sign on the door set me thinking Are waitresses paying the price of their winking? While stars sit in bars and decide what their drinking, They drop by to die 'cause it's faster than sinking. Too late to keep the change, Too late to pay, No time to stay the same Too late to keep the change, Too late to pay, No time to stay the same Too young to leave. Find out that now was the answer To answers that you gave later She did the things that we both did before, now, But who forgave her. If I could stand to see her crying I would tell her not to care. When she learns of all your lyin' Will she join you there? Country girl I think you're pretty, Got to make you understand, Have no lovers in the city, Let me be your country man. Got to make you understand.

    @ in the heart of the country
    You can take the girl out of the country, but you cant take the country out of the girl. I will gain a commute but I dont care... Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads. All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads. I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away. And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads

    The housing market in STL is good right now, but we don't have an MLS listing. We have shown the condo twice since being put up a week ago. We've had a good number of calls as well. Never done this before so it's all new territory. Trying to move outside the city so we can have some peace and quiet and a nice yard. So you think you're a Romeo playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery all the greenery is comin' down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice. When lonely days turn to lonely nights you take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, oh, calamity, is there no way out? Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what might have been, if you'd had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home...........

    Good luck, hope the housing market is better in St Louis than Scranton Pa...can't give them away there.... high time for a walk on the real side Let's admit the bastards beat us I move to dissolve the corporation In a pool of margaritas So let's switch off all the lights And light up all the Luckies Crankin' up the afterglow 'Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go Talk about your major pain and suffering Now our self-esteem is shattered Show the world our mighty hidey-ho face As we go sliding down the ladder It was sweet up at the top 'Til that ill wind started blowing Now it's cozy down below 'Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go We gave it our best shot But keep in mind we got a lot The sky the moon good food and the weather First-run movies - does anybody get lucky twice? Wouldn't it be nice... Tell me can you dig it Miss Fugazy Now it's gone from late to later Frankly I could use a little face time In the service elevator And if Dave from Acquisitions Wants to get in on the action With his Handicam in tow Well we're goin' out of business Everything must go Can it be the sorry sun is rising Guess it's time for us to book it Talk about the famous road not taken In the end we never took it And if somewhere on the way We got a few good licks in No one's ever gonna know 'Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go

    Great relaxing weekend....back in the saddle.... Coffee is on... Children play in the park, they don't know I'm alone in the dark, even though Time and time again I see your face smiling inside I'm so happy That you love me Life is lovely When you're near me Tell me you will stay Make me smile Living life is just a game so they say All the games we used to play fade away We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago Oh my darling, got to have you. Feel the magic when I hold you Cry sweet tears of joy, touch the sky Now I need you more than ever. No more crying - we're together Tell me you will stay. Make me smile

That was, if you missed it. She was kind this month. So... Mahalo nui loa Uncle RRRGRRR. Your singing voice is fantastic! Thank you :) Tami it sounds like you are inspired and fired about the games? I'll ask around, but in the meantime maybe run with what you have? I'm thinking only one or two. We might not get to them. We might be too busy snacking and running around talking to each other FACE TO FACE. I'm going to be silly with it. Oooh. What about SD trivia. "Which SDer when to ___ ___ State and graduated ___ ___ laude?" etc. Oof. That would take some information gathering... time. *** So. I am looking for a lower tier GDTSTOO ticket. One for any or all nights. I love my no-view seats. It gets me in the building, and I'll always remember the moment Ticketmaster said "You're going to the Grateful Dead!" Because of that moment I TREASURE my sweet sweet no-view seats. I have abstained from selling EVEN ONE of my tickets for over face value, much less for several hundred dollars as someone close to me suggested I do in March (they don't know). That way I would have been able to afford plane tickets or acomodations (sp). Rent, etc. "I can't do that" I said. Still. I would part with and sell at face value one of my tickets that I am grateful for, if I could get a golden ticket for one night or two at one of the lower prices. That would be alright! Just. You know. Putting it out there. I did finally send good 'ol E an email. Throw my hat in the ring. It's a little late but you never know. You just never can tell... Alright. Back to selling stuff on ebay! Love Stella. ps. How the frack do you spell "accomodations"??

Don't worry, be happy. I think the GDTS folks are working hard and getting out "batches" of emails and tickets. I'm thinking everyone will hear something over the next week or 2 rather than a single broadcast announcement (until all is said and done of course). Not that my word is any consolation and won't keep you from stalking your mailman everyday.

Games people play you take it or you leave it things that they say, aren't right If I promised you the moon and the stars would you believe me? Games people play in the middle of the night Although I am not big on party games, I have no where else to be than at the pic-a-nic until we head over to Soldier, so whatever we do to pass the time and have fun, I'm all for it. Should we wear all nametags? Seems kinda cheesy but how else are we gonna know who's who? A stand-up and speak session? Hi, my name is Mike....I am a deadhead and I miss Jerry...

Pass the milk. And I tried to post a link here yesterday from Amazon for delivery of those elusive special edition Reese's Oreos. Even suggested we could get drone delivery to Buckingham Fountain. But the link to Amazon apparently breaks the laws of the Dead.net boards...It just keeps getting tougher to keep it light... Ho Gawks!
