Bushman,
You have outdone yourself with this one.
I would love to have an autographed copy of this one.
It is tremendous and true, and beautiful and strong.
It made my heart dance and sing.
Thank you.

Acoustic banana, bound to be the very next big retro fad.

Our mission: obtain a mining agreement, but we've discovered a Klingon agent has preceded us to the planet. A discovery which has cost the life of one of my crewmen."

Bummer.
Notice of death of William Safire, arch word maven.
William Safire, the former Nixon speechwriter turned New York Times op-ed columnist, died today at age 79. He did more than any other American over the last generation to get people talking about words and phrases and the way that we use them. That makes it hard to find the perfect words to say about his passing. His life and his voluminous writings taught us that words have not only poetry -- and sometimes roots as intricate as a giant Sequoia tree could be jealous -- but also power, power that could be either righteous or destructive or both.

Somewhere in the distance
There’s seven new people born
By either popular or unpopular demand, here's Anne on acoustic violin with R.L.'s kid, Cedric.
All right

Never saw Tom at the beach, but this is a hell of a Quasimodo.
Lou (Curtiss) is still in business. Same location since 1967.
Amendment:
Lou bailed in 2014 and the store is now under new management.

Thank you, thank you, Elvis.
Thank you very much.
The Flames is a healthy thread
And we'd like to keep it such.
I do it using Windows Vista.
Others do it with Macs.
Some take along a haul bag
And others just use packs.
But we git 'er done.

Climate change
Stay in the range
Seems very strange
They don't arrange
ST to change
The level of our "EMISSIONS."
Spew and spray
Spew and spray
Let's see what
Silly things
We say.
The second verse,
Same as the first.
Spew and spray
Spew and spray
Let's hear what
Stoopid things
We say.
Everyone should drive Vincents, or Nortons, or BSAs.
Get out of those Dodge Rams and Ford F350s, you double-dippin' dairy farmers.

It's not just Magic that's afoot.
Size 14 1/2 feet be afoot.
And dat's what I'm talkin' about.At one time, Earvin was "the most interesting man in the world."

"Toast, it's what's for breakfast. Like this world, it's almost done."
"Nutcracker: Almost done."
And if that toast is burned, just trim it and scrape it and be glad to have it.

The best to you this mornin', Tad.
What did you climb last night in your dreams?
I did a solo of Arches Indirect, 5.14 1/2, FA by Magic and the Bird.
I was inspired. I blame Bushman. What can I say?
"Just say hey."
--Willie
"Simon says, 'Just say hey.'"
--Simon
