Have I ever mentioned how much I love music? Damn, I'm addicted to a good beat and a nice riff. My ipod was cranking out the tunes on the way home. I had it on shuffle play and it spit these out:



Paul Westerberg -- Between Love & Like
The Cult -- Rain
The Strokes -- Someday
Frank Black -- All my Ghosts
R.E.M. -- Cuyahoga
Aerosmith -- Back in the Saddle
Guided by Voices -- My Kind of Solider


I could go on but you get the point -- that's a sweet mix!

Oh man, have I talked to you about Seltzer?!



This stuff is great! I've been done with soda for all of 2006 because of this stuff. Every now and then when life gets too crazy, I grab a Coke to give myself a pick me up. Coke has kind of become my version of a shot of booze. Isn't that interesting? (YAWN!) Hey, how do you like how I posted the photos today? Pretty snazzy...at least it seems that way now.

You know I love the nephews/niece, that goes without saying BUT...they're involved in all kinds of things for school that need money. The latest thing was yesterday, my nephew Lucas was in a jumprope-a-thon. "What?!" Exactly. I get the e-mail from Lucas and I may have forgot about it, I'm not sure...anyway, my brother calls me up, reminds me and gives me an amount to give that will put Lucas over the top. The amount? $75! I said to my brother, "Damn! What the hell?!" Then I got the hard sell -- it's for a good cause, blah blah blah. I gave in, of course, but here's the thing...there's three more of these kids! I'm not a rich man! Lucas sent me an e-mail thanking me...I wrote him back and told him that I'm not getting him anything for the next three birthdays, ha ha! Uncle of the year!

Any idea what 'Fall Dog Bombs the Moon' means? It's a song on David Bowie's Reality CD...it's really good but I don't know what it means. If it's not about drinking or screwing (AC/DC), I'm lost, ha ha.

That's it!
