True. Even I take a couple of hours off now and then...

I guess it's safe to offer a place to crash if you head to the Bay Area now...

Until now I didn't think anyone would even attempt to use "Seasons in the Sun" and "cool" in the same sentence...

A 15 year old is disappointed about not getting an eagle in a tour event? Damn... Mighty impressive!

Oops. We have become an antagonized lot, haven't we?

And yet, they say it's the other way around...

FLASH! This update just in... The left coast package has arrived at the Central MooseMail warehouse; our trained courriers are standing by... Dana, Ray. Noj and JimR.: mail will be going out tomorrow A.M.!

And who are the Moms and Dads?

When am I going to learn not to click on every link I see?

I picked this one up a while back. I haven't listened to it in quite a while, but I remember it being one of my better choices.

Do a search; I know I've railed against the blasphemous evil of digipacks somewhere on this board...

Personally, I prefer doubleM's work.

Well put. I have his newest, the self-titled disc on Sony, and right now I'd say he's still in the "dazzle 'em with...", well, not bullshit by any means, but he needs to calm down and find his own voice. On the other hand, I sure hope he finds his feet, because to my untrained ears, in spite of the imitation, he's really got something.

Not today, but I finally have Brotzmann's Machine Gun on the way, plus another disc. Not being secretive, I'll just be damned if I can remember what the other disc was!

Yeah, but the first one or the second one? Wait a minute; do I really want to let people on a music board know that I know the Partridge Family had two different drummers?

Selfish of me, I know, but I sure hope those over there that we know are alright, along with their families and friends.

Being "not of the faith", I also have a PC, and I've got to say, XP is nothing like the previous versions. I had ME on my prior machine, and it sucked big time. With XP, I haven't had a crash yet. And if I were a Mac lover like some here, I wouldn't be pushing them so hard. The main reason you guys don't get viruses that PCs get is because Apple has such a small percentage of the market...

Hooboy... Okay, first of all, one of my favorite authors: Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. I agree he's great. But science fiction? No way. Doesn't belong here. Labeling Vonnegut's work as SF is like labeling Edmund Hamilton's work as literature. There are similarities, but no way it qualifies. Authors I would agree belong on the list of excellent writers who just happen to be in the SF field: LeGuin, Dick, J. G. Bllard, and I'm definitely tempted to add Sturgeon. Not mentioned here unless I just missed it would be Fredric Brown. Names mentioned I would NOT include on that list: Zelazny, Cherryh, Bradbury (though I want to!), Joe Haldeman (an SF favorite, but literature? No.), Spider Robinson, Sheckley, William Tenn(another I want to!), Moorcock, Harry Harrison, Farmer, Ellison (were you serious? Love his essays, can't stand his fiction.), Brunner (though he'd be the closest to making the cut on this list), Clarke, Gibson, Verne, and Adams. Many of these are favorites of mine that I read regularly, but they're in the "light reading" stack, not the literature stack. This is all just opinion, of course, but I think far too many are getting the nod on this thread; I even think my list is too long. Probably should be trimmed to just LeGuin and maybe Ballard, but I can't do it.

My first reaction to seeing that was negative, but since my brain supplied it's own "oh, don't be so friggin' anal about it" comment, I guess I'll get over it.

Oh, man; you mean he's checking in every night? We can't even talk about him during the trip???

Talk about inhumane!!!
