        11/27/08


        Happy Thanksgiving wishes from Chicago, where everyone at the Wife's family's house besides myself is under the weather and the big meal has been postponed for a day or two. May all under this roof get better soon.

        May you and yours have a happy and introspective day

        This just in from the Wife:

        The Raconteurs have re-recorded two of the tracks from Consolers of the Lonely with the help of Ricky Skaggs and Ashley Monroe. 'Old Enough' and 'Top Yourself' have been Kentuckified.

        Having just listened to the original version o

        11/20/08


        This one almost went to 11.

        It was a perfect night to start -- the Wife and I teamed up with Chris & Mary for the 30-something's rock 'n' roll evening out. We strategically met for a meal at Germantown Cafe at 18:30, knowing that there were two opening bands

      • Baby announcements? Who needs 'em...
        11/19/08
        ...when you have a blog.

        The Wife and I are exceedingly pleased to announce that come May there will be a new addition to our happy family, pooping and crying and making us very proud.

        Thanks to Cousin Jim for this useful information for campers in the western US & Canada. Perhaps a photoshop job, but it still packs a punch:

        Following a dearth of anything vaguely music-related on 11, I give you a diarrheic outpouring of some things I've been up to and/or look forward to.

        The Raconteurs * 30 September 2008 * Ryman Auditorium



        I finally found a bad seat at the Ryman, viz., anything in

        As the reign of W nears its end, the Telegraph leaves us with an excellent photographic journal of some of his most memorable moments. Definitely worth a look -- thanks to Brother Don for this:

      • Have you kissed a veteran today?
        11/11/08
        Happy Veterans Day. Or Remembrance Day, or whatever it might be called where you live. If you don't have such a day where you live ... well then, you should.

        Thank a veteran you know for his/her service.

        Sorry OAPs, looks like you'll have to switch to needlepoint full-time.

        11/07/08
        A special shout-out to The Old Man today, born on this day in 1944 -- the real D-Day.

        Had a great time celebrating with a good Indian dinner, with a hearty discussion of Tuesday's turn of political events. Chased it with a dessert of Norma-made coconut cake. In case you didn't r

        Well, there doesn't seem to be much else in the news to talk about today, so......

        Happy Bonfire Night everybody!

        News: In a landslide result, Dixville Notch (sounds like a town that should be in England) has given 15 of its 21 votes to Barack Obama in the first official returns on Election Day '08.

        11/02/08
        On the eve of the election, let's have one last look at the quick wit of Sarah Palin. With any luck, it may be the last we get to poke fun at her for a while. (Trust me, I am touching / knocking on wood with numerous points of contact even as I type that.)
