How sad! That said a friend of mine is a huge Buffet fan. At her parties, sometimes I want to shoot myself after she' played 2 or 3 cds.

the worse month of the year
back to work
delayed flights
cold and dreary
short days
the best part of the month is we have past the winter solstice and the days are actually getting longer

I agree with Liz and Magnolia - those good looking, older men who have just hiked into the wilderness with the misses on first day of retirement and ready to have a go in the woods, lake, mountain..........just lay down that sweater wrapped around your neck and take her.......doesn't work for me. So as soon as women stop worrying about accidential pregnancy (also lots of commercials regarding finding out if pregers or birth control) the men have to worry about penial dysfunction.

Do you all remember when Larry Haggman flew to the top of the list? Both he and Mickey Mantel were able to get organs (liver or kidney - I forget now) when they learned they were ill. I remember there being controversy over weather those of wealth could buy their way to the top of the list. Then there was all this whoopla over the abusive lifestyles each had led so were they entitled to the organ. For me, it was not that you look at the lifestyle and history of abuse. I equally don't think it right that money is going to get someone an organ faster at the expense of someoe who needs it as badly and has waited a year to rise to the top of the list.

Yes, Nancy summed it up well. I would add youth over those over 65 to that slippery slope.

Certainly - it would allow me to focus on writing. Plus, it seems like the older we get, the less we see each other -teen kids, parents needing assistance, increased work loads and some moving away all add to less contact than in previous years.

I'm optomistic about some areas and not so much in others. I'm especially upbeat about the change in administration. The economy - not so much. Life in general at my house is good - so upbeat about personal life for the upcoming year

Fianances. With Barf Boy in school full-time and still working on house, money was tight. Yahoo! He graduated and starts his new nursing job on Jan 19th!

1. Do you prefer to eat chicken or fish? chicken
2. Corn on the cob or off the cob? on the cob
3. Do you own any wicker furniture? nope
4. How often do you put things away? when the things start to drive me crazy or we have guests coming over
5. Be honest, is it really better to give than to receive? It's really satisfying to watch the face of someone when you give them somthing they really like.

probably a new pair of shoes

I think there will be pressure from the US and Cuba population living here to become democratic. Who knows what the future holds?

I grew up calling it a coke. Now I say soda or call the drink by name. My grandparents from Oklahoma called it a pop or sody pop. Barf Boy's family from Iowa uses pop. I love regional dialect information. It's dying out with media and people moving.
Do you say
sofa, couch, divan, davenport or some other word to describe that long piece of furniture in your living room?

All in all it was a great year. I look forward to next year and so much to be thankful for.
Relic, will you send dubya one of those finger things after he leaves? should keep him busy for a while

Going to a party. Some friends of friends rented out an old western saloon at this ranch/resort/camp and will have a music jam. I'm excited because Barf Boy has been so focused on school and has not met many local muscians to play with.

Too much working and running around...........need loafing time

Sure, why not? Reaffirm the aspects of self working to change.

WoW! Morgan, enjoy your 18th birthday. What does it feel like to be 18?

Other. This is the only spot I visit for fun. Otherwise it's for work and I do use it some for personal research. Man, it makes looking for things a breeze. I keep up with family and friends via the phone.

Be shocked. They walked up a hill to get here so ask them if they need anything. Today - build thema fire.

I thought Barf Boy and I were being silly the other night when we spent about 15 minutes thinking of names to go with Dikshit. We woke up calling out more names.

Kerrville is one of my favorite places on the planet. The music runs for 18 days and the campfires are as entertaining as the stage acts. In fact, you will likely see more people running around at 3 in the morning than you will in the afternoon - the heat can be brutal. That's when people head to the rivers to cool down or sweat in their tents so they can play all nights.
One of the best ways to experience the festival if you have never been is to volunteer for a crew. You will meet people from around the nation and the planet and make friends that will last a lifetime. That's where I met Barf Boy. Even the trash and recycle krews sing as they parade up and down the streets emptying the bins.
We are usually there between 8 and 11 days. You can camp there - it's tent to tent or there are hotel and cabins around. The people make it happen and it's a spirit of magic. If you want to know where the hippies have gone, they are at Kerrville....but careful cause that hippy could be a finance banker the rest of the year.
There are established camps around the ground. Such as camp Duck Tape, Camp Stupid, Camp Cusine, Camp Calm, Bush Camp, Camp Mocho Verde, Camp Bungee, and Lepord Lounge - each sporting their own music at night. At Camp Sweetness and Light - they are neither. Some camps have the musicians that were on the stage that night while others have aspiring songwriter sitting in circles, waiting their turn to play their song. Camp Peckerwood, hosted by Slim Richie, has swing jams.
And then there are the kerr traditions such as Wild Woman Night, Kerrdigrass, Watermelon sacrifice and masquarade balls. Each weekend, people are married at Chapel Hill and there is a folk service every Sunday. The festival host many schools during the week such a harmonica school, music business, blues guitar, songwriting, and critique.
What else can I say? It's a blast and so varied there is something for everyone.
