Just thought of another - "That's Entertainment" by The Jam.

Celery root salad with braised pork cheek. Pork could have been seasoned more, but a splash of Lea & Perrins took care of that.

Excellent. Getting used already.

Nice. One of my all time fav's. I saw him on that tour with Bowie on keyboards and Soupy Sales' boys as the rythm section. Me: Aladdin Sane. In the car. About the only place I listen these days. It's the summer of suck for me and music.

What he said. I worked for a major insurance company many years ago. During the training phase I was not dependent on commision but was paid a salary. I went through the training and did not have to pay money up front. I worked there for a little over 1 year, but as someone else mentioned, I had a problem with some of the tactics they taught you to use. This may not have been endorsed by the company itself, but by older salesmen there. But the comapany seemed happy to turn a blind eye. I never could get my head around some of these methods. My favorite was when trying to sell a husband life insurance, make sure the wife is there too. That way, if he turns it down, you can turn to her and say "well, if he really loved you, he would not turn this down." Pretty cold. But they are not all like this and times have changed to. If the career interests you, search out some of the better companies. Don't fall for the good salesman.

Beach Boys "God Only Knows" King Crimson "I Talk to the Wind/Epitaph" from the first album Be Bop Deluxe "Down on Terminal Street" Chuck Berry "No Particular Place to Go" Those are the ones that quickly came to mind.

Just ordered a Gino's East Meaty Legend pizza. Pepperoni, Italian sausage, Canadian bacon and regular bacon.

Have never seen those but now I need to find them. I love olives almost more than any other food.

No problem. Fat fingers are why i upgraded to an Acer Aspire One D150. Jin, I think you're on deck....

I've got an original Eee PC I need to get rid of. 1GB ram, 4GB SSD. I've added an 8GB flash drive. I need to reload the original Linux on it, and unfortunately it's white. But I'll let it go for $100. It was used lightly and looks new. Give me a shout if you're interested.

Grilled Italian Sausage on a bun with onions and sweet peppers.

Nope. After thinking she could ride a Harley. She may yet, but not this year. On topic, I had a pepperoni & jalapeno pizza from Gino's East.

I'm helping her out after she shattered a kneecap. But yeah, some lines are being blurred here.

Took the Ex to the grocery store. Went to Mom's and dropped off zucchini, blueberries, watermelon. Lopped branches off a couple of trees at the Ex's and mowed the lawn. Grilled. Now enjoying some beers.

Grilled a NY strip and corn on the cob tonight. And chicken breast for the Ex.

The Minutemen. I was always an East Coast and British Punk kinda guy. I mean I heard and liked Fear and the DK's, but somehow I totally missed the Minutemen. I picked up Double Nickel's on the Dime and it is just awesome.

Gino's East Italian Beef/Sausage combo sammich. Tasty!

Harry Chapin's "Taxi" because I'm familiar with it and it has a bit of everything. And "In My Room" by the Beach Boys. If I like the definition in the harmonies, I like the gear.

I received my Acer Aspire One D150 this week. I upgraded the RAM to 2gb and loaded Win7 RC from a thumb drive. So far I think they are an excellent combo. Performance seems crisp and after the horror story that was Vista, I think this will be a good OS for MS and those who use it. As for the Aspire, it's a big step up from the original Eee PC I have. I can actually type on this (as well as a non-touch typist can). It doesn't run overly hot and with the 6 cell battery I have seen battery life around 5.5 hours so far. I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

The ex and I had to have the last of our greyhounds put to sleep today. Gypsy was a mischievious girl who always grabbed your heart and made you smile. A little brindle girl, she was always my favorite. In recent times kidney disease took over and in the end she stopped eating and was slowly wasting away. So today we ended her pain. My great comfort is that, due to staying here helping my ex convalesce from her accident, I got to spend the last two weeks with Gypsy. Several times during those days there was a glimpse of that mischief in her eyes that made me so happy. If ya got a dog around the house give 'em a ear scritch for me. It's awful empty in this house tonight.

Don't know yet. Ordered yesterday. As soon as I get it I'll let you know. I will probably load Windows 7 on it fairly soon after receiving it.

Mine is Father Jack Hackett from "Father Ted". "Feck! Arse! Girls! Drink!"

Acer Aspire One 10.1" Netbook from Woot. I wanted something a touch bigger and more powerful than my Eee PC. And the price was right.

Hey, hang onto him. The snake is still hungry.
