Very Happy Birthday - even though it's past midnight there now. Many congrats on a wonderful milestone, and hoping you are feeling and doing great!

^^ This is the similar feeling to a woman I know and with whom I used to work. She would always say she is from Persia, not Iran. And that's because the government there defined what Iran is today...and she's not a part of that. I reached out to her today, she is happy and relieved that the leader is gone. Like many, she hopes it's a beginning of more freedoms for the people (and she has family there still). But like above, she still worries about the future depending on how things progress, and what "fills the void." I hope that things will progress for a better future for the people. But with people like Trump and Netanyahu influencing things, not so sure....

^^^ I've had a live version of that song for a couple decades, on CD-MP3 and now my iPhone. Not as good quality sound, but WHAT A FUCKING GOOD SONG! Even my (non-Stretch) son Andrew chased this down and has it on his playlist. That and Romeo were my favorites by them in the day.....

I LOVED Bill Hicks....he was another one (to me) on the level of George Carlin when it came to cynical social commentary. I also love to send one of his earliest bits - when he was on the Rodney Dangerfield special to introduce new comics - about Oklahoma, to several folks I knew that moved there (like Jim!). Recommend the documentary movie about him too.

Happy Birthday!!

Good amount of snow here, I actually lost power for about 1-2 minutes earlier this a.m. But all good now. I've been worried about some friends and family in harder hit areas, but thankfully no one on my list lost power. My back deck has some nice blown drifts.....

Happy Birthday Dan!!

Happy Birthday Colin!

Hope it was/is an absolutely fantastic day Steve!

^^ I remember a party even before high school, we were a little drunk and watched this and The Man With The Child In His Eyes videos....there were like 7 of us just transfixed at her beauty and movement....so lovely!

RIP to Actors Bud Cort & James Van Der Beek..... Bud Cort was of course Harold in Harold & Maude, he did several other prominent roles but will likely be remembered mostly for H&M. One other movie I liked was Electric Dreams; he played the voice of the computer (and that's also where I fell in love with Virginia Madsen).

Done....wishing you the best Peter, always!

Happy Birthday!

So sorry, Peter....RIP to a beautiful kitty. Thank you for saving her and taking care of her!

(Referencing an older discussion about music vs musicals) I'm not a fan of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar....but I love that song "I Don't Know How To Love Him." What a wonderful rendition! Especially considering it is not in their native language. The folk song and their harmonies was wonderful too.
