What a force for good. If you're looking for something good in the human condition you don't have to look any further than John Coltrane. I'll forever be chasing the Trane!!!!

When I read something by something by Yanow or any other reviewer,critic,what have you-I use it primarily for informational purposes but the final purchasing decision is always mine.

Is the "Flower" cd also a trio date?

Happy Birthday Forestorn. Keep right on drumming!!!!

Greg could the one that Ron did with Jimmie Vaughn be one of the Wild Kingdom cd's? My first memory of Ron was seeing him with BB King's band one night at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. I've always liked his playing but I only have one of the acid jazz cd's. I've got a feeling that will change.

Is the sound improved over the single discs or pretty much the same?

I really think that it helps to have common interests-not that it guarantees that you'll go the distance but I think that it improves the chances. For me it was well after the fact that I realized that my ex and I had zilch in common. I was bagged and tagged the moment I said "I do". I totally agree with making time for one another . It's just too damned easy to get caught up in whatever you're doing and even easier to drift apart. Also,like many others have said here keep the lines open-talk to one another. Before my ex said she wanted a divorce she put me through a fair amount of bullshit. If she would have just come right out and said "I want a divorce" we both would have been spared a lot of pain. She divorced me three weeks before Christmas-it took a long time for me to start enjoying the holiday again. At the time I coped with this by constantly sleeping. Just in case I'm coming off like I'm putting this all on her I really don't mean to I bear as much if not more responsibility for the marriage's failure as she did. If I ever get married again I'll do a lot of things different and I'll work like hell to get it right.

Cool. Have fun and crank it loud!!!!

You know I watched a part of one of their reality shows one night.-talk about needing a life-I would have been better off watching a fishing show or the home shopping network-I digress. Anyway,I was watching part of their reality show one night and he actually came off better than she did but they're both seem fairly dysfunctional. I'm sure before this one plays out it will be a fairly weird trip.

Happy Birthday Dan.

Where would you like them to go? North Dakota works for me. I hear Fargo needs a minor league team. That's mean. No kidding! North Dakota deserves better than that! That's really mean. . The Dodgers gave the Cubs one last night but they weren't so generous tonight.

Any other Colorado dates you know of Chris? Denver metro area hopefully...? I just checked the Metheny website. It doesn't list any Colorado dates. I found the info on a Durango website. It seems possible that he will go through Colorado as he will be in the western US at that time. I'll keep an eye on it and if anything turns up I'll let you know. God I hope it doesn't snow hard that week.

Okay Gecko you better jump all the way back!!!!

Be very careful not to drive over a lizard fellow with a cockney accent! Always wear a helmet-decorated with antlers of course and watch out for that damned gecko no doubt he has some high priced attorneys.

Does it have a quirky taste to it?

JM if you're thinking of changing your carrier see if State Farm has motorcycle insurance. I got them for my car because they gave me the best deal but hopefully I won't have to put it to the test anytime soon.

I'd like to check these out sometime.

Keep on keeping on Newk!!!!!!

Two words-Roger Federer.

I don't know who the announcer is on the new Geico spot but I enjoyed that one and the Bacarach one was a hoot as well. On the whole I appreciate the creative chances that Geico takes but I would never by insurance from them. I considered their online questionnare too intrusive and they gave me a shitty quote to boot.

What little snippets I've heard of this I liked. Will check it out more in the future.

Taiwanese born Hong Chin Kuo honored Taiwanese night at William J Shea stadium rather fittingly as he pitched the Dodgers to a 5-0 win over the Mets.

Mehldau and Metheny will be in Durango,Colorado in March. I hope to see them.

Conn you rascal get well immediately if not sooner!!!!
