    a fairy tale?
    ...that's coming true... Once Upon a Time there was a band beyond description... Could this be real? we looked with amazement at each other... For music was filling the air, one more time... Once upon a time, and that time is now. Peace

I'm on a roller coaster and need to wipe up some tears (watching that Ani video Geo posted brought me way back <3), and now some sweat of almost-panic... I just read somewhere that they will be printing the Ticketmaster tickets (for Chicago) presently and they'll be mailed out in 10-14 days. Oof. I'm leaving town on a jet train in 15.5 days... More decisions. Not my strong suit. Luckily I heard Box of Rain at work today, but still. What to do? xo ps. YES on the spousal journal. Sissy just sent me hear contribution :)

I'm late - for a very important date! I have a white rabbit to meet in my dreams. Maybe if I turn out the light and close my eyes I can still catch him... Good at researching things on the internet, bad at scheduling sleep :) Good morning Rich, goodnight moon. Zzzz.

Morning Ms. Katniss....and hello to you Sir Stanley, those emerald peepers are hypnotic... Grab a cup of coffee, and some kibble n bits, respectively....Gus and Eddie are meandering around here somewhere....Gus is metrosexual and Ed has dreads.... That Hawks fight song is welcome music as Men Without Hats were a one hit wonder.... Feel free to spin that dial, and more importantly it takes a village to keep the good vibes going....on ba dus... So thanks for hopping back on Kristine...I mean it.... And Poobah...you must have your bucket, cause you carried that tune effortlessly.... Without further ado....Pupper hit B9.... ...it's better than malignant....(oncological humor) I-I love the colorful clothes she wears And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair I hear the sound of a gentle word On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air I'm pickin' up good vibrations She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop) I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop) Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop) Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations) Close my eyes, she's somehow closer now Softly smile, I know she must be kind When I look in her eyes She goes with me to a blossom world .....and Mr. Mayor...congrats....yes you may continue high stepping down funky Broadway in those red, white and blue hot pants....

Like Dok told you, what I said. Standby Buff – The Cup is coming your way. Kaner may let you dump your favorite brew in and take a drink. It’s always better from the Cup. Then on to multiple Moose Lodges across Saskatchewan and the rest of the provinces to our North. All good for Dire and Cain. No Europeans in the group so the schedule for Finland and Slovakia matters less. Totes never accepted my bet and he’s rolling down the track. Hard fought series by the Bolts. Ho Gawks. Back to work. See you at the shows.

unless you can dance.My ten yr old son peering over my shoulder at Men without hats safety dance video (thanks Chandra for the throw back) actually said oh this is the video with the midget. I am still laughing. He actually asked me if there is a deeper meaning to this song. Then said that the whole Thing is just wrong.

A Foxtrot dedicated to you, thanks be to Sarge..... Hit it Sarge.... Somewhere there's music How faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven How high the moon There is no moon above When love is far away too Till it comes true That you love me as I love you Somewhere there's music It's where you are Somewhere there's heaven How near, how far The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon Until you will, how still my heart How high the moon How high the moon is the name of this song How high the moon Though the words may be wrong We're singing it Because you ask for it So we're swinging it just for you How high the moon Does it touch the stars How high the moon Does it reach up to Mars Though the words may be wrong to this song We're asking how high, high, high high, high is the moon To quote Bobby Z..... I'm gonna let you pass, and I'll go last...... And time will tell, just who has fell and whose been left behind... Thanks from the bottom of my old dead heart.... Where there's life there's hope.... I told that to Clownstoner....and it came true..... I'm goin down swinging...swinging ...like Benny Goodman!
