Morning all.
That is all.
And the word of the day is: XIPHIAS!
Your bro's FIRE IN THE BELLY is very catchy, DR FJL. It's a good summer driving song.
Why did it end so abruptly?
I've already been out and about taking care of some errands, and now I have to do some Oklahoma! homework. Later tonight, I'm seeing The Normal Heart tonight. -I'm trying to figure out if I should just bring a box of Kleenex with me or a roll of Bounty paper towels. :-\ ;)

I've seen it three times during the history of the show (the original, the revival and a showcase production with a friend). I can't see it again. It rips my heart out and I'm a mess. I hear great things about this production but I'll miss it because I just can't do it again.
My visit with Dr Jane, Keith and dog Sherlock was a highlight of the trip!
We met at the Bi-Mart in Ashladn (where I worked the Christmas season of 1983) and the we headed up the mountain for our hike. It is so, totally beautiful there!!!!
And indeed we did eat at the Ashland Springs Hotel's restaurant...man was that some good food!
Jane posted shots of the hotel, but I took a couple of photos myself. Note the surrounding mountains, which make the whole Rogue Valley such a gorgeous place!
DR Jane had me take a snap of some type of flower for DR Laura, but unfortunately it did not turn out. But here it is...
Our house on Crest Drive in Central Point (1975 to 1978)
For dessert we all had the MOST delicious chocolate cake I have ever eaten. It was so moist it was almost pudding like!!!
Now a couple of family shots....
Here I am with my big brother Allen, who works for Fed Ex and often delivers packages to DR Jane and Keith.
I probably would have slept later had the telephonic device not been ringing - hence, I am up.

Someone called me at 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning a week or so ago.
The word on my friend Ernie is not good......but vibes are certainly appreciated.
FJL, Craig & I enjoyed both songs.
DR Elmore, I have lost a few pounds over the last mont or so, but not enough to really be noticeable. I had crept up to the 200lb mark and I am now down to around 195 lb.
And of course I am sucking in my tummy in that photo, so that helps.

Good wishes to Ernie and his family and friends.

195 is my goal, too.

Mine, too.
RIP Roswell. Damn dogs snatched you off your porch while you were enjoying a spot of good weather. I'm so sorry that we couldn't save you. You were an awesome cat and you weren't even mine.
Just got news that our regular sound and light guy is not available tomorrow - which means we get the substandard gal. I'm not so happy about this.
Great pics, DR MBarnum! Good to see that your nephew is the picture of health!
No coffee here, but some potential get-the-blood-flowing music - we just put up my brother's latest song from his current project
It may be coincidence that it's called FIRE IN THE BELLY, similar to the phrase that's been being bandied about in politics lately - but the work is totally non-partisan as far as I can tell
FIRE IN THE BELLY - song written by my dear brother - definite aerobic workout potential

(maybe a little Eagles influence in the accompaniment??)

That's great, Fred...and the other video, as well! ;D
My mom has discovered that she can watch the Casey Anthony trial streaming on her computer in the living room.
195 is my goal, too.
Mine, too.
Sherlock was good enough to pose for this portrait shot.

What a beautiful, lovely dog he is. I absolutely loved getting to hike with him!!! Thanks so much DR Jane and DH Keith!!!!
Here is my brother Dan's ex-fiance's daughter Erica showing off her braces, and with her is my grand-newphew (Dan's grandson) Danny, who is THE sweetest, most adorable kid ever!

And lastly, because I have always liked the art deco look of this building, is the Harry and David's plant. If you ever buy Harry and David products, this is where they are made.

I guess those are the things that can go, Ginny. Do you remember any of it?

I like it too. :)
Oh I'm sure she got everything moved out. They have until Thursday to empty their houses and they were told to expect the houses will be inundated (that's their term) with water for 2 months
Some of this is on the river and some is beyond the 500 year flood line. Some of those people don't have flood insurance.
If you're interested, it's pretty much every story in today's SC Journal

I can't imagine going through the flood prep. Vibes to all involved!
VIBES and PRAYERS for those in danger from the Missouri flood watersAmen.
I am very frustrated with myself and Chase. I did not notice that Gabe's conservatorship was maturing, and the stupid friggin' bank never sent me a maturation notice and rollover notice, and now they have stuck it in another 8 year term instrument, which is not statutorily allowed, as Gabe has to have access to it upon his 18th birthday. I called the bank today and they are saying a court order will have to be drafted or else they will charge me $600 to change the term of the CD. Ridiculous.
DR Jose, have you ever ridden on a Sky Express Bus? They're in deep doo-doo after this morning's accident killing four.
