Just checkin' .. All of these parting gifts have been given out to the losers; I thought you might have been predicting a Pistons loss. It will be ugly, that's for sure....

Soulstation: Is that a "parting gift" for Ben? Are you making a prediction?

Bend over .....

Happy Birthday!! Enjoy! ... not only this day, but all that life has to offer always.

Sigh..... Double sigh....

Oh yeah! "Question and Answer" w/ PM, Christian McBride, and Antonio Sanchez in St Louis, October '03; and #27 in Hamilton Ohio, November '03. Hopefully #27 will be on the Live Trio recording that is in a little bit of limbo since the demise of Warner Bros. Jazz.

Look at all of these May babies!! Happy Birthday, Hardbop... Here's a pic to *crack* you up...

YES! Thank you! That has been bugging me since the series started... couldn't figure out who he reminded me of. Now I can go obsess about something else.

Happy Birthday to a fellow May 16 baby! I feel honored to share this day w/you and have learned quite a bit from you. Hope you've had a good one.

uh oh.... doubleM is gonna see that I have Michael Jackson's Thriller and all of my wise credibility is shot.

Find the cheapest gas in your area Yeah, and I'm getting ready to give up my company car and credit card...

You want sick, Moose? How about Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Yup, got it, and it's IN THE CAR CD PLAYER. I gotta be me...

I can't bring myself to rid myself of Michael Franks either. I also really like Seal. and Sade..... sometimes.

A big right on! Saw them in January, and Nate Smith made my jaw drop.

It goes w/o saying that the entire bill is fabulous; however, these kids are awesome. This is a road trip just waiting to happen.

Tjazz~ Too much chocolate, man.

Hey MM: I re-read my own post, and while I agree w/ everything I wrote I must say that sometimes I'm guilty of not listening to my own "wisdom", as it were... I reversed the situation and found that my initial reaction probably would have been much like yours... (ewww..... Rick Braun!...) So I'm directing my post at me as much as you. Now... if she doesn't like sports, then you really need to think hard, man...

doubleM: I'm glad that you are not ruling out getting to know this woman better. Life is about growth and interaction. I would shudder if you saw my CD collection from just a few short years ago. (Yes, I own Kenny G Live, but it has been residing under the legs of one of my dressers for quite a few years) But people grow and change; maybe she just needs to be exposed to something different. That is the loveliness of life... sharing ourselves and our experiences w/others. To simply assume that since she likes more contemporary music which might be "light" for your taste that she has poor taste in other areas of life is, um, a little shallow. (I say this w/affection--I just hate to see people miss out on things in life due to preconceived notions ). Generalizations of any type just kinda bug me... (see my above post). I think she has the basis for potentially truly falling in love with your kind of music. Give it a shot and see how you can influence her. PS LOVE your drawings!

For real! Absolutely no way that shot could have occurred in 0.4 secs. At first, I was all ready to whip out my purple whining Gregg Popovich .gif until I saw the replay. huh uh.... But it was a great shot, and I love that it was Fisher who got the play.

Mark, I have (1) extension cord I can add to the mix. It's all about the keg.

Did you almost type "orgy" on purpose? Or was it Freudian? Just something to ponder...

Next question: Ruth's Chris Steakhouse WTF?

Shurr! We have plenty of , uh .... places where you can sleep in your car. (I was thinking that Jsngry was the one in the middle who is so "relaxed")
