If you purchase/pre-order a copy of The Way Up at Amazon, you can get a stream of the entire CD available until January 28th in the US only. For some reason, I was only able to stream the opening and Part III -- not sure why.

Wasn't that a great game! You know he wouldn't have been satisfied to break the record only to lose the game--the 2 pointer was a must. I'm a huge Purdue/ Drew Brees fan so it was kind of bittersweet, although Brees had an excellent game and is having an excellent season. I'm still glad to beat San Diego out of the number 3 spot.

My favorite gift so far: center court tix to Pacers/Detroit Part Deux. Jermaine O'Neal is icing on the cake.

Looks like he's already seriously planning how to live up to his impressive moniker! How about it! Great name for a very handsome boy! Here's something to add to the 'ohmigod did this child just say this!' list. Jennifer and dad attending Pacers game. Jennifer standing on her seat and yelling at top decibel to the ref, "I'm going to eat you up and poop you out!" While dad was chiding little Jennifer that this isn't a nice thing to say, silently he was marveling at the wonders of the gene pool.

I love that scene too. I was talking about that particular scene with a friend at work; she had the same reaction that you had.

It's those eyes! They are heartbreakers! Just wait until she gets to be about 4 and has these intense conversations with you. Here's one I had today with Avatar Jennifer (who has been temporarily replaced by Avatar Rocky the superdog) Jennifer (in very serious tone) : Ra-Ra! I have four things to say to you! Me: OK... tell me what's on your mind. Jennifer: Well....#1) I love you, and #2) I like you, too and #3) when I go to Michigan to see grandma, you are in my heart ( ) and #4) you need to wear jingle bell bows in your hair because it's messy today. I will show you how. Straight shooters, those 4 year olds... Be prepared for hair stuff, tons of hair stuff

Oh. My. God.

Europe will be this summer. There are a few dates listed on his website ("Travels"). I'm sure more will be added.

Yeah... sure.. and I bet there's no Santa, either....

Here's the info that I have:

It's OK, pookie. I was worried that you got bit by the *sexist bug*. Thought I might have to do an intervention and give you a purple herbie or somthin'...

I'm very familiar with Millie Jackson . I thought I was making a somewhat coy reference to a double entendre, not being *in your face descriptive*, a la Ms. Jackson. Hence my puzzlement. Maybe I was thrown off by your choice of the 'disdainful' smiley.

CJ... I'm digging around trying to find my copy of the "Companion" compilation right now.

Double standard? God, I hope not. Then I guess I don't get your point.

Double standard?

Happy Birthday!!

Damm! I forgot all about that one! <hint> .... don't ever forget about that....

Have you noticed how Linus puts down his "security blanket" when he recites the words ".... Fear not!..."

Do you hear the version with the uncontrollable laughter in the background? I love Porky's speaking part. Also, things don't start to happen for me until I've seen "A Charlie Brown Christmas". I'm mesmerized by the scene in which they're all humming "Silent Night" with their mouths up in the air, and they all breathe at the exact same moment with the exact same expression.

Oh, I am so there in February! Thanks for posting this, CJ...

Join and go. You will never forget it. Best experience of my life.

More young honeys!

Nice jawline... Even with the pot on your head you look like a honey...

Ah, hell.... I guess I can't wear mine now. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend; I have a prior commitment. Darn! It sounds like a great show. Be sure to fill us in on all of the details. Hope you guys have fun.

It is rather cheesy, isn't it? (no, I'm not really d/l'ing it; I saw it a while ago but have no desire to add it to my collection of 'stuff'.)
