    Finally, my daughter has given birth. 37 hours of labor, only to get a c-section.8lbs, 10 oz., 21 inches. Pretty big considering my daughter is about 5' and 100 lbs. Both mom and baby are doing weel, although a little tired.

    it wasn't enough that the boys played absolutely steller shows both nights, and not enough that Jackie was a fucking HOT opening act, not enough that I met Jeff Chimenti outside te venue early afternoon on the 30th, not enough that the boys played well over 6 hours of MUSIC both nights, not enough that my old lady was literally brought to tears by the most excellent Dear Prudence, not enough that I ran into plenty of old friends and made some new ones, not enough that we was back in San Francisco after a ten year absence... but on exiting the show on NYE, being handed the spring tour notice; hmmm, that was the coconut cream icing on top of a very nice cake. nothing left to do but smile smile smile. of course we already have/had plans/ air tix, for April/May far far away from the US, but shiiiiiit; free mile tix can be cancelled, and plans can/will be changed. love and peace.

    Rolling Stone Issue 717, Sept 21, 1995
    I own this issue-the one right after Jerry left us, along with several mint condition Tim Truman Grateful Dead comics. The Rolling Stone no longer mint-but intact. All this stuff been imported with me from the states to Europe. PM me if anybody interested in owning it, or for more details on the comics. Postage from europe would have to be included in selling price, but am open to negotiation. Hard times call for desperate measures.

    My visit to the doctor.
    I happened to be in a doctor's waiting room recently, for reasons that don't need to be discussed here. This doctor is a general practitioner, and as luck would have it there were three pregnant women in the waiting room as well - must've been "Ultrasound Wednesday" or something. I tend to listen in on other people's conversations in situations like this; here is what I observed: One of the ladies was reading some new-agey magazine and remarked on the article she was reading. "This is kind of interesting" she said, "it says here that the gender of your child can to some extent be determined by the kind of lovemaking that led to the conception. I guess that means that I'll be having a little boy, because my husband was very manly and virile and totally ravished me when we made this baby." "That is interesting" said the lady to her left, "I suppose I will be having a girl then, because when my husband made love to me it was very gentle and sensitive, and he had lit candles and incense and sprinkled rose petals on the bed. Sounds like a girl for me." At this point the third lady burst into tears, sobbing loudly and moaning "Oh no, oh no". The first two pregnant ladies finally got her calmed down enough to talk (in situations like this, I try to turn invisible). "What's the matter, dear? Are you OK? Is there anything we can do?" Between sobs the distraught pregnant lady managed to get out: "I'm...I'm...I'm gonna have puppies!" (Cheers, TL!) ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

I had nothing to do with that johnman, nothing to do with it getting there in the first place, nothing to do with you not getting it again... apparently once it is clicked, (I heard this from a dude) then you might get the ad or not, depending on one's 'puter settings the history in the computer, or the types of cookies you already got in your rig... 'Puter cookies, that is, not the eating kind, like that. selective process or random... ??? somewhere in your browser you should have a pop up ad blocker. should. maybe. don't ask me, I type with 2 fingers and dont know shit about these things. anyways, there is always that type of hassle lurking in cyber space, might be best to dump the whole post, (and the one with the hippy lions) marye; please. don't want to offend anybody. the perils of using a free image hosting site. i wont post pics again to avoid hassles. peace.

for her birthday: Me And Tiger Lilly Busted out of Barcelona riding on a train Feeling nearly faded as her dress Tiger Lilly ate some paella just before the rain Farted all the way to Fi-guer-es Well I took my old cassette from my dirty sack Playin' slow while Lilly sang the blues Stinky farts keeping time Holding Lilly's spirit in mine We finallly sang near every song that we knew The Board's just another place to think about The Scene The Board can cheer you up -- if you know what I mean The internet is easy Lord, when there ain't no tour The Board is good enough for me Good enough for me and Tiger Lilly With the kind, grateful folks; rapin' here is fun Lilly shared the secrets of my soul Standing right beside me Lord in everything I done Lilly's spirit kept me from the cold Nowhere never on this Board, I'll let her slip her away Looking for memories I hope we'll find And I'll trade all my straight friends for a single head To be sharing Lilly's spirit, oh so KIND The Board's just another place to think about The Scene The Board can cheer you up -- if you know what I mean The Internet is easy Lord, when there ain't no tour The Board is good enough for me Good enough for me and Tiger Lilly

Was last Saturday? Who knew? I walked unawares into my local independent record store (grateful to be living in a place where such a thing still exists) to pick up the new Neil Young cd and Wilco dvd...and there was actually a crowd milling around the place. I walked out with the above two purchases plus a small fistfull of free sampler cds. I know it's a crippled business model, but the world is a better place with these folks in business. Support your local....

..having the customer service in some US Call.center would mean that they have to pay US wages to the people working there.IF they let that service do by some Chinese(..or russian) company they pay the person 2 maybe 5 bucks a day.makes sense,at least for G.D.P.Johnman,we are in the bad situation to be between 45 and 60 and nobody will give us a job .it is not economical employ an older person in your country if you can pay slavelike salaries to young,university educated people somwhere in India.Same problem here my friend,but that G,D.P.goes the same way is a slap in the face.Peace,Brother

it makes me wonder how can the boys just sit by and let this happened....i read in an interview some years back that jerry said one of the reasons he keeps touring is that alot of people depended on the dead for there livelyhood....you ever notice back in the day how many people were up in the rafters operating the lights...the times are a changing

Dylan's new album "Together Through Life" comes out today. Most of the lyrics are a collaboration of him and Robert Hunter. I just went to Bob Dylan.com but they don't have the lyrics up yet but it says "coming soon". So if anyone gets the album I hope you'll give us a review. There's no record store in my town.

yes it is him.might have been pure happenstance that led him to say that, though. my life is now fulfilled. I posted enough useless drivel to get a rise from him. deep inside, i doubt very much Hunter said 'shut up' to too many people... I feel very honoured. "I'd like to thank the academy for this honour...." the new debate there is how to pronounce endive. "en - dive" or "on deeve"? as for my personal cuilinary preference -- need all the roughage I can get -- in a salad for sure. gotta keep regular. cheese simply blocks up the works and produces massive amounts of fluid fetid flatuance. meanwhile, where is Che Guavera? drinking Guava juice on a ski lift in Guadalhara perhaps?
