Various and Sundrie Updates and Thoughts Thank You Mr. Larry King

I found out this week that Scott McClellan is my age. You remember him. The official White House deer-in-the-headlights from 2003-2006. Sometimes I think about the path not taken, and though sometimes it makes me sad (I didn't write Abbey Road when I was 26, for instance), in this case, I'll take my path over his any day. Though I think he's happier now, so good for him because only some people deserve misery, and I'm not sure he's one of them.

-------------

I had this this week. Though it may have been this. Doesn't really matter which it was. Wash your hands and watch your food. I may have actually turned inside out for a time on Monday night. I'm alright and back to 97% today...it passed quickly. But it's possible that I'd rather have been Scott McClellan for three years rather than go through those 24 hours again. Thanks to LB for the Pedialyte. The apple flavor is nice.

For whatever reason, I'm listening to Level 42 today, and I know I my Hombre compatriots will concurr that they were a great '80s band that deserves lots of praise. Makes me think of Miami and the boys. Whatever happened to M.M., that fabulous bass player I played with prior to Pinata? M.M.: Beautiful guy, wonderful musician, brilliant songwriter, well adjusted and fun, and a guy that wrote one of the best songs I ever played on...a song that will maybe never be heard by anyone but me and him again. The song lives on a 20 year old cassette tape demo, and, if it ever dies or is lost, I will be very, very sad. I should send it to Vinnissimo because I know he could transfer it to a safer format. Smo? Advice?

The Bears are in the Super Bowl? Huh?

This is where I might live next year, in order of preference: Chicago, Ann Arbor, Champaign, Kalamazoo. February 26. Stay tuned.

19 degrees and going down today. Welcome to January. Pinata, now is not the time to gloat.

vinniSiMO...I guess 'SMO was he. Vinnissimo is the technological genius that can turn mashed potatos into a professional-grade recording quality percussion instrument. And don't think he hasn't done it. So putting a cassette onto an electronic file is probably something he has wired to his clock radio.

However, good to have you back Smuss, despite how incredibly wrong you are about the Musicalish Thing That Shall Not Be Sung.

I'm not all that.

I've got people.
