Grateful Dead

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.

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.

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!"
