You didn't.....but a good wish is worth wishing twice!

Visited my sick friend Christine today, got to give her a nice chunk of change from a GoFundMe drive our friend Rick set up; she needs it for some potentially last-hope meds but she will still need more. Recounted some stories going all the way back to kindergarten for some folks we knew in common, and she filled me in more on her life after school. It was great to see her smile even though in pain, and she still has an amazing wit. I cried on the way home....

Almost missed it here, and it's after midnight there. But hope you had a great day, pet a few cakes and ate a few cats.....or something like that!

I think Closer is even more depressing. Especially Decades......even the keyboard "solo" is depressing...... "We knocked on the door of Hell's darker chamber. Pushed to the limits, we dragged ourselves in...."

Oh, man, this. So this. I grew up with 2 older brothers, a lot of my early musical taste picked up from them. Allman Bros. a big fixture in the home.....RIP

RIP Roger. I agree with Craig, the dry humor he was able to show was great in combination with the typical Bond class and style.

Happy Birthday!!

RIP....couldn't believe fate dealt him that fucking hand....so sad....

Happy Birthday!

What a great weekend! Friday night, I got to see heather Nova for the first time, have loved her music since ~'93 or '94. Missed a bunch of opportunites to see her due to other commitments. The one time I WAS able to see her the outdoor show got cancelled for storm forecasts.....and the weather was pretty damn nice! So Friday night, she does this intimate small show with her brother, who is a singer channeling Reggae through Folk music, named Mishka. A wonderful performance, got to speak with Heather & Mishka a bit after the show. They did some great music, including the last song in their encore being a version of Bowie's Starman. Then Saturday night, another small show with Mary Fahl, ex of October Project and possessing one of the most incredible and unique voices I've ever heard. Until I saw her last October, it had been ~22 years since I had last seen her (with October Project, in '94). Mary's husband Richard was there, he travels with her a lot and is one of the most interesting and warmest people I've ever met. Before the show started, he came by after recognizing me and we also had a nice chat. Mary was joined this time by a Cellist, which I thought was perfect accompaniment to her soulful voice. And while I couldn't take photo's or video during the show, Mary loves to meet and greet afterwards - and I got a warm greeting Two of my favorites artists in one weekend.....!

Was listening to the radio on the way back from an errand, there are some rumors around Chris' death ("band around neck" was a term I heard). But yes, way to fucking young, and a great talent lost. And in other news, R (not RIP) to Roger Ailes. A man who did big things, but to me his legacy is completely tarnished by the behavior and scandals he allowed and possibly participated in..... I don't often say good riddance for someone who died, but for him I'm damn close. Sorry if this offends (no I'm not....but it's just my personal opinion)

Happy Birthday!!

It's actually to put YOU in a line-up! "Swear to God, I was just trying to unlock the door, held my cane up to free my hand to get my keys, but it scratched the lock and door; and this large white dude dressed only in boxers and a wife-beater shirt comes runnin' at me shakin' a pair of headphones and a fountain pen at me....I ran as fast as I could...." Seriously, though, honorable thing to do NOT to screw someone if you're not sure.

I also remember him playing Jim Jones. Chillingly good.....RIP......

Jacob, i think you need some boredom in your life. Between ER visit and stopping attempted break-ins, you're leading quite the lifestyle..... Just stay safe and "OK" in general.....

Major ouch. Hope you feel better Dan. Try to find some position that is the least uncomfortable and arrange pillows and furniture....

Happy Birthday!!

Wow....that was lucky! Train-riders probably looked and said, "Not Beats....don't want 'em"

So Ottawa and Pittsburgh....I think the Pens are way too fast for the 1-3-1 trap that the Sens have. Though i thought the same about the Rangers and they lost. But Pens are a step above that - maybe a BIG step. Ottawa may just run out of steam, but their run has been almost epic. Karlsson has been playing near-lights-out, with a hairline fracture in one foot. Amazing..... Haven't seen to much of the West games, but just would like to see Nashville go forward, having never been that far.

Whoa.....echo the "take care of yourself" and "hope it improves" sentiments! The next Risotto will have to be extra special!

Dinny, know what you mean. They were built with speed, strength and skill. I really thought they'd do what the Bruins couldn't; and the Bruins were so close despite many injuries (and lousy ref calls/non-calls). Going to be glued to the TV tonight for Pens-Caps. I don't have any preference at this point, except the Pens won last year. So go Caps! For the West, I want Nashville all the way now.

RIP to Col. Hampton and Robert Miles.....and yeah, Stretch, I seem to hear that sampled song a lot in the background.....

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Come back and give us a life update one of these days!

Yup! Pen's were manhandled. 3 Game 7's coming up, hoping for four!
