"Just" a salad: romaine lettuce, parsley, roasted almonds, raisins, avacado, Danish feta (the best, afaic), and some albacore tuna, topped off with a taste of Cardini's Italian dressing. YUM! Now if I can keep myself out of the chocolate chip cookie brittle that Alison made for me and Randy.... (once I start with that stuff, I don't stop).

Noj is reading this thread as I type. Had to mention how cool it was to have a member of the org family doing the artwork for the latest CD. And I think it looks great, too.

I've gotten a hell of a lot out of this board, too. Things to think about, things to laugh about, and things to listen to. But the friends I've made here (a few of whom I have yet to meet, including a certain "dinosaur rider" with a penchant for snappy one-liners) have been the real gift.

Hmmm...I honestly can't think of anything "along the lines" of recent PMG that I could recommend. But for something a little different, I was just checking out Cuong Vu's new album yesterday, and that sounds pretty good. Bill Frisell plays on it. Kurt Rosenwinkel is a favorite guitarist of mine, and his recent albums have a yearning sort of vibe kind of like some of Pat's music.

Um, apparently it's when you plunge a sword into his chest. Don't do that!

Because of their reputations I purchased "Dharma Days". Sorry. SHoulda went with The Next Step. Kurt as leader turns me on way more than Mark.

It's a good one - especially that organ trio. I'd almost rather have a whole set with that group. Pullen was killin'.

All right! Have fun, Chris.

Personally, I don't. It is what it is.

I can't worry about being "better than" or "the best". All I can do is continue to better myself. The journey is the goal.

Do they sell many fur coats in southern California?

We waited 5 minutes for that?

I think you've nailed it.

Now, that was fast!

Jim's probably working on his kitchen and has forgotten all about this project.

Every chance we get.

Sangrey's right - we're all about to be eaten by a giant muskellunge.

The future's so bright I gotta wear shades. Music lives! The music business, well....

Phew! We timed that one just right!

Please let us know - I'm curious about this, too. Coincidently, I was just working with his DVD a moment ago.

Whaddaya, some kind of BUM?

Barry told a local television station he gave the youths left after he gave them a couple of dollars. Maybe he should have given them "right".

Didn't have any plans, or invites until a few moments ago - my neighbors just invited me to have drinks with them, so in the interest of good relations, I'll do just that. Everyone be safe tonight, and have a great 2006!
