Well it finally happened. I joined a gym lastnight after a long (very long) break from exercise. I've gained some weight since the move and I'm not happy about it. My girlfriend signed up as well. She met with a personal trainer today and started her workout routine. I meet with the dude on Monday. Overall my diet is pretty good but as I get older I know I need to exercise on a regular basis and pay a little cloer attention to what I eat.

Upper 60's yesterday. Today it only reached around 50, but it's clear and really nice. I think we're heading for a cold spell.

A guy is driving around and he sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog For Sale." He rings the bell, and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador Retriever sitting there. "You talk?" he asks. "Yep," the Lab replies. "So, what's your story?" The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young, and I wanted to help the government; so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running." "But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I wanted to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired." The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. "Ten dollars." The guy says, That's it? This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?" "Because he's a fuckin' liar. He didn't do any of that shit"

D'oh! I was playing this cd over the weekend.

Looks like I'm a day late. I hope it was a very happy birthday.

Sorry for your loss bro.

1. Very enjoyable, but has me very puzzled. At first I was thinking, Oh yeah that's McLean in his early days. But I don't think that is even close. Trumpet has a real nice sound, but then so does the entire group. This is a winner. 2. I hate these multiple trumpet groups. No doubt a stumper. 3. Hmmmm...., I like it. 4. Nothing I'm in to. I'll need tio give it some more listens to see if I catch on. 5. No big deal until the bari kicked in. All of a sudden it turned very sweet. There is somewhat of a west coast feel to this, so I think Mulligan, I'm but not so sure. 6. Hate to say it, but not for me. 7. That is a trombone, yes? Player is doing something with it for sure. I don't normally go for stuff like this, but I just might. I'll wait patiently for the answer. 8. I kind of dig the guitar tone. It's got almost rock feel to it. Not really something I would go for. 9. An easily recognizable tune, Satin Doll. I don't know what to say about this one. The banging of the piano keys is along the lines of Gene Harris or similar. This is so so. 10. Something from the 70's or 80's per haps even newer than that. I couldn't really pick out the clarinet soloists. Piano is swingin'. 11. Haunting. 12. Crap! What is the name of this tune? I enjoyed the guitar more so than the bass player. Not being able to name this tune is going to drive me crazy because I feel as if I could almost tell you what the lyrics are. 13. No guess. Piano player has skills. I may want to hear more. 14. Two minutes was enough for this. 15. What's not to like? That's not an accordion but the other thing???.... Makes me want to drink a beer and or sip espresso while playing games. Fun stuff. 16. Now we all got all serious again. 17. This is good. Sax is flat out tearing it up. Arnett Cobb? Lockjaw Davis? Don Wilkerson? Oh hell then the band kicks in. Saxes sound great! 18. Finally grabbed me around 2:25 into it, but then it's over. I don't care too much for the bassy clarinet, but this was not too bad. 19. This is nice, real nice. All sounding very tight. Guitarist is no doubt a stand out. 20. Very pretty. All and all a nice BFT. Sorry for the weak responses, I am most definitely stumped. Thanks for letting me play.

And now we have the post of the day.

if we eat the dog, who gets its iPod? You can have the iPod, I want a leg.

When we find out who the friend is can we punch he or she in the face? For the record if it's a she, Rachel or Maren can do the punching.

I'm afraid to look.

That figures. You think she could have been a little more original than naming the dog "Digby". Why not "Spot"?

And for the record, I am the friend.

You guys? Maybe it's your emails (re the Tete Montoliu discography).

Another great show. Only one more episode.

I guess I need to grab this one. I love "Sweets".

Repugnant sums it up about right. I don't think Mr. Twizzle has made one sincere post in this thread. That includes the topic itself. It seems as if it's nothing but a bad joke.

Oh great, now the joke is you had kids in the car with you. May I ask what the point of this thread is/was?

Order me a pizza while you're on. Ahhh, never mind it's not even noon.

That seems about right.

I'm still trying to figure out how Zangara ties in.

I'm trying to enjoy this WKCR Hendrix tribute, but I guess I can Google... Hospital exists. Of course it does. But, obviously the rest is all bullshit. I'm not even sure the hospital has a rehab center. Maybe I'm missing something.

I thought that was a joke.

When did he post he was trying to take care of himself?
