Very busy at work though. Hey it's Friday...take it easy, we are. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I just ran to the store to stock up. Got some movies, some food...and some Liney's hearty red lager. It's a homey, backwoods Wisconsin brew, brewed in small batches no less... and the Sunset Wheat tastes just like oranges. Gray and JJ are probably familiar with it. I'm going to have a glass before I go out and shovel tonight, just to take the edge off of the bitter cold. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm still around some, SS. Very busy at work though. I'm busy at work too - much too busy for January. Trade show the 29th and 30th, and it's always fun trying to be ready to go. I look at it this way - it's better to be busy at work, than out of work. You wouldn't be so busy if you didn't do a good job. Right? Hi Weaver !!! (SS waves) Sounds like a good weekend for you! Weaver, I probably should have told you, that one of my sons had trouble with his pentax. He dropped it in the snow while snowboarding, and he said it turned blue, and shivered and moaned the whole rest of the day until he took it to the lodge for hot chocolate. He says it seems to be fine now, except that it begs for hot chocolate even on moderately cool days. I'd take it easy today, except I have TOO MUCH TO DO <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Oh well, it's STILL better than being out of work.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Things are still OK though? NO big changes?

Arrogant Bass 2rd Ale for ol' 2long! Ol' weav just got off the phone with one of those, and she didn't like it too much. Sounds like a "girl's beer" 2 me! Well, I am a girl. Stick a piece of fruit and an umbrella in it, give it to GB, and he is in seventh heaven...and he's a boy. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Hey Kimmy, I still have visions of you justa choppin' and kneadin' on that big, flat, pink slab of slate you have... you know the one you were supposed to send to me? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

GREAT!

LOL,
I can't.
Have to take a youth group back to the land of ice and snow FOR FUN.
Sigh.
At least my daughters will be going, so I get to spend more time with them.

You know?
"It was raining hard in 'Frisco,
I needed one more fare to make my night.
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down,
She got in at the light.
Oh, where you going to, my lady blue,
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain.
She just looked out the window, and said
"Sixteen Parkside Lane".
Something about her was familiar
I could swear I'd seen her face before,
But she said, "I'm sure you're mistaken"
And she didn't say anything more.
It took a while, but she looked in the mirror,
And she glanced at the license for my name.
A smile seemed to come to her slowly,
It was a sad smile, just the same.
And she said, "How are you Harry?"
I said, "How are you Sue?
Through the too many miles
and the too little smiles
I still remember you."
It was somewhere in a fairy tale,
I used to take her home in my car.
We learned about love in the back of the Dodge,
The lesson hadn't gone too far.
You see, she was gonna be an actress,
And I was gonna learn to fly.
She took off to find the footlights,
And I took off to find the sky.
Oh, I've got something inside me,
To drive a princess blind.
There's a wild man, wizard,
He's hiding in me, illuminating my mind.
Oh, I've got something inside me,
Not what my life's about,
Cause I've been letting my outside tide me,
Over 'till my time, runs out.
Baby's so high that she's skying,
Yes she's flying, afraid to fall.
I'll tell you why baby's crying,
Cause she's dying, aren't we all.
There was not much more for us to talk about,
Whatever we had once was gone.
So I turned my cab into the driveway,
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns.
And she said we must get together,
But I knew it'd never be arranged.
And she handed me twenty dollars,
For a two fifty fare, she said
"Harry, keep the change."
Well another man might have been angry,
And another man might have been hurt,
But another man never would have let her go...
I stashed the bill in my shirt.
And she walked away in silence,
It's strange, how you never know,
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for,
Such a long, long time ago.
You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly.
She took off to find the footlights,
And I took off for the sky.
And here, she's acting happy,
Inside her handsome home.
And me, I'm flying in my taxi,
Taking tips, and getting stoned,
I go flying so high, when I'm stoned."
-Harry Chapin, "Taxi"
Just the mood I'm in 2day, I guess...

2long, that song is such a classic... it reminds me of that Moody Blue's tune that says "whatever we want to be, we will be in the end"...can't remember the actual song now though. I hope your wife is beginning to find some peace with what you have been forced to deal with/do. I know how hurt I wuold be if it were my mom and sister. Hopefully the ordeal is almost over and you can return to some kind of happy normalcy soon. Okay this is for HoFS. A song I listened to this weekend that I think would be such a beautiful wedding song by Marc Cohn. It's really very pretty. (just in case you are shopping for such a thing HoFS <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />) True Companion - Marc Cohn Baby i've been searching like everybody else Can't say nothing different about myself Sometimes i'm an angel And sometimes i'm cruel And when it comes to love I'm just another fool Yes, i'll climb a mountain I'm gonna swim the sea There ain't no act of god girl Could keep you safe from me My arms are reaching out Out across this canyon I'm asking you to be my true companion True companion True companion So don't you dare and try to walk away I've got my heart set on our wedding day I've got this vision of you girl in white Made my decision that it's you allright And when i take your hand I'll watch my heart set sail I'll take my trembling fingers And i'll lift up your veil Then i'll take you home And with wild abandon Make love to you just like a true companion You are my true companion I got a true companion True companion When the years have done irreparable harm I can see us walking slowly arm in arm Just like the couple on the corner do 'cause girl i will always be in love with you And when i look in your eyes I'll still see that spark Until the shadows fall Until the room grows dark Then when i leave this earth I'll be with the angels standin' I'll be out there waiting for my true companion Just for my true companion True companion True companion

Hey wow!
I found the lyrics 2 a King Crimson song I've never heard before! Heck, maybe I won't like the way it sounds, but the lyrics are sure interesting:
"Dig Me" - King Crimson
"It's here I sit and rust amid this ruin and rancor like tire irons
Toothy grills and car parts before me...the acid rain floods my
Floorboard, burns my pores, and rots my upholstry.. once I was
Worshipped, polished magnificently, now I lay in decay by the dirty
Angry bay...
I'm ready to leave
I wanna get out of here
I'm ready to ride away
I don't want to die in here
I'm ready to ride
My skin is metallic now, no longer an elegant powder blue... my body
Unhinged and sleeping in the jungle of motor block manifolds and metal
Relics... what was deluxe becomes debris, I never questioned loyalty,
But this dead end demolishes the dream of an open highway...
Dig me...but don't...bury me"
-ol' 2long

Accomplishments this week:
* Finished song for friend's project.
* Managed neglected finances.
* Apologized to friend I offended. Wow was she grateful!
* Reached milestone on Alaska Project.
* Called parents after many days incommunicado.
Saturday TODO:
* Take cool new jacket to tailor. Must look good come spring!
* Take skates to skate shop for repairs. It's about to get cold. Good ice ahead!
* Deposit roommate's rent check. Must pay for beer! Bibles. I mean bibles.
* Write lyrics for unfinished song. Stupid song! Won't let me finish it.
* Get hair cut. Head's a mop!
* Meet friend at music studio for work on recording. Making album!
* Build "iso box" for recording guitars. LOOUUDD.
* Swim. I miss the water. I broke my routine. I've been away for over a week. Bad GC!
* Reschedule guitar lesson for friend's son. But just a few hours later than planned. His junkie father just died. No more flaky men for this kid! (Pat me on the back for this later.)
* Purchase gear for Alaska. In March I'm spending ten days on the North Slope at a "research station" (a.k.a. arrangement of shacks and radars but at least they have wireless).
Possibility of getting all this done, even though I will fuel up with doughnuts first:
0%
Happy weekend.
8-)
