Good luck on all fronts. As for myself I'd like to take more time off and enjoy life more.

Ma Nature cut Denver a break the other night with the blizzard. That was about the only way Denver could avoid being victim number 16 for Phoenix. Next time the Suns see Denver they'll probably have both Iverson and Melo but I still like the Suns chances in the season series because Phoenix plays as a team and AI thinks he is the team.

MG congrats on winning the corn flakes.Winning the lottery pales by comprison!!!!

When I got officially divorced it was three weeks before Christmas and as an extra added bonus I was out of work and at the absolute bottom and I thought that I would permanently despise Christmas. One year later I was in my eighth month at another job and things were looking better holidaywise and in general. Considering what you're going through your'e doing better than I was at the time.Keep it up.

Staff Christmas party tonight. That always helps.

Nah, they just smell funny. I was tempted to go that route but I decided to play it straight. Besides I didn't have the picture.

At the end of the year things generally grind to a halt at the labels. About three or four months into 2007 we should see what's shaking.

I was reading about that Claude. It seems like things at the vault might grind to a halt for awhile.

That's just it. The Nuggets do have some guys that can score but will Iverson actually distribute it like a point guard is supposed to do.

I was going to say Vickers but I just wasn't sure. Agree eith you about the hits being the lesser material.It was that way on the first album too. There were some talented dudes in that group. Thanks for posting this.

Bastard started pushing me off the bridge... Jazzmoose,Jazzmoose.

I can't see any good coming out of this.

Our backlogs would make an interesting string some time. I have a huge one due to a couple of collections I bought. I feel your pain. I didn't say I could afford them. I just said I bought them. Hence the huge trade/sale list. Bummer man. I've been in that boat so I can relate.Seriously.

RIP to Denny Payton. However he wasn't the only sax player in the British Invasion. One of the guys in the early edition of Manfred Mann(can't remember the name-getting old myself)also played sax. On the first Manfred Mann album-the one with" Do Wah Diddy"-they recorded "Sack O Woe" and really that's how I first got introduced to jazz.

How much are you supposed to get? We got socked with 15 inches a couple of weeks back. Felt like Christmas that weekend!! Possibly up to a foot in town and much higher in the mountains. It couldn't come at a better time. We have all kind of skiers coming in from out of town and Wolf Creek Ski Area better have the fire standing by because those people will definitely be heating uo the cash registers.

In spite of the fact that he comes off as stuffy and pompous,personally and musically,I've got no real beef with Wynton. I like some of his stuff like the VV set especially since he seemed more personable in that setting. I have the Blue Notes but I haven't checked them out yet. Withy my backlog they are not terribly urgent listening at this time.

As long as you don't expect professionalism you should be ok.

It's snowing as I type this. Those who like to take pictures of a boatload of snow especially at this time of the year. I guess Christmas for me at this paticular moment boils down to staying warm and keeping my ass on the road.

JM I've had my fair share of Christmases like that to the point that I thought I would permanently loathe the holiday fortunately I worked past that . This one is for me is somewhere between a Happy Holiday and one that is in the Chrisatmas crapper. Hopefully things will turn around for you before the 25th if not on that day than soon.

Boy, doesn't that sound familiar. I figured you could relate.

I'm in Colorado waiting for a big dump of snow. I'll trade you. Brother, I spent 33 years of Christmas in Florida. You've got yourself a deal. I'll take snow for Christmas anyday over having your damn A/C running. We've gotten a sneak preview already of what is supposed to be a fairly vigourous storm for the next 24 plus hours. One thing is for certain you don't run your ac in Colorado in December.

Last I saw the Nuggets were slapping around the Wizards but Washington was coming off of that ot win against LA. The Suns will pay them a visit later on this week and that is when they will really miss not so Melo.

No wife.No problem.If she hates jazz and goes to great lengths to tell you so consider that a smoke signal if you don't already. Sorry to say that but that's the way it went down for me when I was married.

I think the combination of Trane and Pharoah will not go over well with most women.
