Yes, mine arrived today also. The poster was shipped flat, so it's a fairly large package. CD's inside of the package.

1. What’s the last card game you played? Probably solitare... 2. What’s the last board game you played? LifeStories 3. What’s the last computer or video game you played? Connect2 at FreeOnlineGames. 4. Take this quiz: Which chess piece are you? The Queen's Knight (only 4-5% of the population score this!) The Queen’s Knight is armed with rose-colored glasses. The mundane comes to life and nature becomes expressive of spirit. The interesting thing about this Knight is the ability to switch from fantasy to reality. There are exceptions to the rule, but this is the type that may have had imaginary friends as a youngster. Their stuffed animals also were great companions. The Queen’s Knight will see the good in almost anyone or anything – but their depth of emotion can remain hidden even from themselves. Circumstances tend to reveal sudden responses. Not all life is rosy and this Knight is not exempt from disappointment or frustration with humanity. They may feel incompetence when dealing with their own ethical values. Things aren’t simply white black, but a grand battle of Good versus Evil. Evil must be reckoned with but Good shall eventually win. It is not that they fight evil, but that they fight for the essence of moral good. Doing something good is quite satisfactory for them and indeed increases their happiness. It is when something is not reciprocated to them that they are saddened and disappointed by others. They learn that others aren’t as self-sacrificing. The Queen's Knight is dominated by an inner world of intense feeling and deeply rooted ethics. They seek to form their life based on their views. They are highly curious of those around them so are readily accepting of others unless their values are being threatened. They promote insight and understanding amongst others and contribute well thought ideas. They however can be a bit too idealistic. 5. In the games you mentioned in the first three answers, did you win any of the matches? Yes. 6. If you could only play one game for the rest of your life, which game is it and why did you choose that one? Solitare.

Great story! Looks like he gets a big allowance, bigger than most of us ever got, I imagine. The story said he attends Georgetown Day School...kindergarten there tuition is $27,915. http://www.gds.org/podium/default.aspx?t=122750

Cash. Though in Boston in June both of the cabs made paying by credit card optional.

1. What is the most successful “home remedy” that you use, and how did you first discover it? Homemade ginger tea for upset an tummy or "off balance" digestive system. I found it in a book...but used to also get Vernor's Ginger Ale as a kid - it does the same thing. Ginger tea works every time. 2. Do you ever use sugar or salt substitutes? If so, which brand names do you use? I've tried some sugar substitutes - ick! 3. How often do you go shopping just to window shop, with no intention of actually buying anything? More often that I should. 4. How often in those shopping trips do you actually end up buying something anyway, whether you needed it or not? Most of the time, which is why I shouldn't! 5. Take this quiz - How Do You Travel Through Life? You run through life. Your journey through life energetic, fast paced, and spontaneous. You like to live for the moment, and you always prefer taking action to sitting still. You crave a lot of freedom in your life. You can feel burdened by too make rules and responsibilities. If you can do things your own way, you're really are able to shine. You are very good at understanding the world. (Sure doesn't feel like I'm running!) 6. What would you most like to have or own by the end of 2010? Have less stuff that is "meh", but more stuff that I love.

^He was dynamite at the Detroit show just a few days after his collapse.

Just ordered mine, too.

Read the comments for interesting menu suggestions: mississippi mud(crutch) pie It’s Good to Be King Crab Legs You Rack Me (rack of lamb) Long After Dark Chocolate Mousse Makes me hungry!

Love the parody! And the darn twin guitar thingie is one of the worst earworms I've had in some time - can't get it out of my mind once it gets started. :003:

The local sandwich shop has a new offering: "The Tom Pesty." Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil pesto on grilled flatbread.

Here's a review.... http://theoaklandpress.com/articles/2010/07/23/entertainment/doc4c49197319fbb362474671.txt

Yes indeed, it was a great time! No surprises in the set list, though we did get You Wreck Me instead of Honey Bee or Driving Down to Georgia. I was delighted with "wreck." Mike was in good spirits and high energy. A woman in the front row had a small sign that read, "Mike, we love you, drink water please" - or something like that. It made him smile! And he was grinning all night long. Band intros included Tom telling us that Mike was, "off the disabled list." And dear god, did I have a good seat - 3rd row, almost smack in the middle with Tom right in front of me. Fabulous views of both Tom & Mike. Ladies, it was a good night for "jeans" & "buns" views, too. LOL! Great show, must get some sleep now....here are some pix, a little blurry, but I was dancing & singing along more.

Happy to report that the hotel I'm at has reserved the entire top floor for TPATH concert goers. Love it! And they're running multiple shuttles over the venue - no walking there or back!

Yea, I've got the feeling that if he's fully recovered, he's gonna tear up Detroit. So glad I get to see it happen! I keep thinking of a goofy sign to take...something like "Hey Gator, Drink Gatorade!" LOL...

Nope, I'm not surprised. I think the trend is going to continue, too.

Heat exhaustion is nothing to mess with. I hope Mike is feeling better (and selfishly hoping is better by Thursday for the show in Detroit, too.)

Nice find! Gotta say that, given the consistent set lists that have been reported, I'm confused by this statement by Robert Scovill, "You may have a set list and they may take a left turn & you won't see the set list for a few songs."

Open the windows and turn on the fans until the humidity gets unbearable.

1. What LOCAL pizza joint or restaurant serves the best pizza? Pisanello's. I also loved Guido's before it closed many years ago. And I had terrific pizza at a place I went to occasionally in Kingston, New York with a wood-burning stove - forget the name. 2. You decide to order some pizza from a national chain (eg..Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns...etc): which pizza chain are you most likely to order from? Pizza Hut - though I have Little Ceasar's & Hungry Howie's within walking distance. 3. What’s your favorite pizza from the menu of the restaurant from Answer #1? Something with mushrooms, ham, onions 4. Which toppings do you not want to see on your pizza? Sausage, pepperoni, green peppers 5. Take the quiz: What Pizza Topping Are You? Tomatoes You are kind hearted and open minded. You're always up for something new. You like to experiment. You are easy going, and you pride yourself on not being judgmental. You can see the good in almost every situation. You prefer to keep things light and fun. You don't like heavy topics or pessimistic people. You believe that there's so much to celebrate. You're happy to just celebrate being alive! 6. Thin, deep dish, pan, regular? What is your favorite kind of pizza crust? Deep dish is fabulous occasionally, but a regular pizza will satisfy, too.

Nice blog entry from Patterson Hood. The piece was written for Flagpole, the weekly alternative paper in DBT's hometown of Athens, GA. http://flagpole.com/Weekly/Homedrone/AmericanGirlSummer-15Jul10

1. Are you a people watcher? Absolutely. I listen in on conversations, too. 2. At home, who do you hang out with? I'm a crazy old cat lady, hanging out with two cats and a computer. 3. Did you work hard this week? Yes, it was a busy week. 4. How do you show a friend who is sad, a good time? By listening to them, and -depending on the person/situation-helping them to see light at the end of the tunnel (or at least the possibility that there MIGHT be some light.) 5. What's your favorite rule to break? I like ePettyhead's idea of breaking the "no dessert before dinner" rule!

No. After years of being a long distance away, I'm now just an hour away from the city I was born in.
