Re: Fuses and the economic cycle

It's probably nicer because I've been gone for several months. I took a powder just after the election because I found myself more involved in the political, rather than the musical. Thought I'd pop back in to see what was going on!

I got to play his whistle when he had breakfast at a friend's house the morning after his Prescott gig. Nice guy, who was having a hell of a time with his pipes due to the dry conditions.

Voted last week, via absentee ballot. As always seems to be the case, I'm traveling election day, so I always get the early ballot. Thankfully, AZ is not a swing state (although it's starting to look like less of a lock for our "native" son), I've been blissfully spared from prez commercia...

I can do a few 3-ball routines, have managed to juggle clubs for a few passes, and have managed to juggle 4 clumsily. When I lived in Alexandria, there was a local runner who did ALL the local races, including marathons, juggling 5 beanbags the whole way. He came to the track workouts I did, and jug...

Got to play with Paddy Keenan today!

Paddy and John Walsh played a show here in Prescott AZ last night. My wife and my parents (in town visiting) attended and had a wonderful time, even though Paddy was having a heck of a time with his pipes, due to the dryness. This morning, after dropping my folks off at the shuttle, I got a phone ca...

Count me in on the "aura" experience. I have not had one in about 15 years, but in college and grad school I got several. Thankfully, the aura did not always develop into a migraine. The first time it happened I was at the mall and started feeling odd. I determined that I had a blind spot ...

Very sad... I saw him several times in the pits at Indy car races. One of the last "great" generation of actors... Also seemed like a genuine, nice guy. Married to Joanne Woodward for 50 years... How often to you hear about that type of relationship in Hollywood? http://www.mopsquad.com/mo...

Dunno, works fine for me. How about just http://www.torsopants.com ? No, no, torsopants itself works fine. I can get to the page with the list of Band Geek Hero shirts just fine. It's when I click on one of the individual shirts to order it that I have a problem. If you actually click on, say, the ...
