Who art in rhombus,
W00kie be thy name.
These hippies come
With guitar and drum
On tour as it is in Gamehendge.
Give this day our daily toke
And forgive us our WSP stats
As we forgive spreadheads that come to our Phish shows.
Lead us not into the Biscuits
And deliver us from Umphrey's
Who do? WE DO!
Monday, bloody Monday
Woke up an hour ago, thought I'd come down and have a little time to myself before the woman wakes up. Doggie blew up my spot though, woke her up and she came down looking at me all suspicious like i was up to no good...
I fell asleep during the game last night but Greg tells me the Rangers lost. Sorry, @GrooveHolmes. What happened?? Yikes!
Happy May 1st!! I'm officially into the countdown of my last month at my job. Woohoo!! It's rainy and dreary out but it's not gonna get me down!
Come at me, Tuesday!
Sorry @GrooveHolmes, congrats @Jayem. Really good game last night. I thought the Caps were in trouble when NY tied it up. Wicked shot by Ovie. Congrats to @Phlat_Brim_kid as well. Flyers West (I mean LA) looks really good.
Go Flyers (East)!
Raining like crazy here, this wasn't supposed to start til tomorrow. Oh well. I did follow @Phlat_Brim_Kid's single vote and split wood for a while last night, that doesn't look like its gonna happen again for a few days.
Then went to this newish little wine bar in Waterbury with a friend, that was a good time. And got into some Junta vinyl after that. As advertised. Wow.
Already caught like 4 unintentional double-entendres this morning between radio and in-person. Including one woman asking be to show her where the back door is. Gonna be that kinda day I guess.
Also - striking news: More babies than ever before are being born with symptoms of drug withdrawal. Horrible. But wait til you hear the cause, as reported on NPR: More pregnant women are using drugs. Now that is some mighty fine research and reporting.
Ideas for Mother's Day gifts? Anyone got something?

That just makes me sick.
My mom makes Mother's Day (which is always the same weekend as her birthday - double whammy) easy for me. We go out for dinner and I take her shopping so she can pick out clothes or shoes or whatever she wants. We spend the time together and she gets cool stuff.
Will you see your mom for Mother's Day?
Ideas for Mother's Day gifts? Anyone got something?I'm going to go with.....not drugs?
Actually, Mother's Day shopping is tough. My wife is a "pick out her own jewelry" type of girl - so that's out. Not sure what I'm going to get. Thinking of taking a stroll through the mall with the kids for inspiration. What IS cool is that Quinn is old enough this year to actually try and pick out something for her mom by herself (in addition to the "hey look what I made" stuff from school), which I think will be fun.
@johnnyd, you ever see those Pandora bracelets? Mothers love them and they are a gold mine of a gift as for every stupid occasion you can pick up a new charm. They may be on the verge of 2000 and late though.
It's May 1 !!!
International Workers' Day
and Beltane
,,,from the Beltane Fire Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland last night
BTW, s'mores Pop Tarts are the bomb-diggity. Breakfast of champions.

I might try and find a suitable Goorin Hat for Ma D.
She's not that into flowers or jewelry. But she does sport the occasional lid.

I need coffee. Bad syntax.
Even if I screw it up, she can take it back and exchange it for something that she likes or fits.
Ladies: Should I guess on her size by going too big, or too small? Which would make her feel better?
We were thinking abou going to occupy today. But it's rainy. Well see if it clears up later today.
The weird thing was that you did this commute to work at a clothes boutique.
@JayDubya - last night part of the dream I had was that you worked in VT near where I live. You commuted from Iowa - flight and a ride everyday.Paul's Boutique no doubt.
The weird thing was that you did this commute to work at a clothes boutique.
I wouldn't mind having a slightly longer commute than I do now, would give me more solo music time. Current commute is 1.81 miles.
I might buy @MrsDubya an outfit of some sorts. She doesn't ever buy herself anything nice in the clothes department. Even if I screw it up, she can take it back and exchange it for something that she likes or fits. Ladies: Should I guess on her size by going too big, or too small? Which would make her feel better?My suggestion is that if you're going to buy clothes for your wife, you peek at her sizes in her closet before making any purchases. This will avoid awkward situations like I had on Christmas morning when my husband insisted that I wear a large and bought me a size large shirt. (I wear a small or sometimes X-small in some cases.)
@jaydubya or anyone else. Do you know anything about at home distillers/perfume maker. I am going to buy mr. Slice one for his 30th bday.I don't. Have never really explored distilling since I'm not much of a liquor / booze guy. My go to homebrew shop used to sell a small stainless still used for "essential oils" and what not but of course could be used for spirits.
I did a website check and they no longer carry it apparently.
I'm sure you guys will do your homework but be careful when distilling spirits.
My suggestion is that if you're going to buy clothes for your wife, you peek at her sizes in her closet before making any purchases.I'm sure I'll do fine, but women's clothes sizing is so strange to me. Especially jeans.
And everything seems to be different. A medium here might be a small over here.
ahh the hell with it check out this on you tube.com great jamRL Burnside kicks all sorts of ass.

Come On In is a sick album.

(I wear a small or sometimes X-small in some cases.)This happens to me all the time with my Dad especially. I'm a big girl but I used to be bigger. About 7 years ago, I lost about 70 lbs and dropped 3 dress sizes. My father is all about getting me t-shirts from my alma mater and for years after I shrunk continued to buy them in XXL (which would've have been too big even if I hadn't lost weight). They were practically minidresses on me. It was only this past Christmas that he remembered to get a L instead of XXL and even then after I opened it he was skeptical - "I hope it fits." Yeesh.
@Penguin said: [quote] I'm sure I'll do fine, but women's clothes sizing is so strange to me. Especially jeans. And everything seems to be different. A medium here might be a small over here.This is so true. For a long time, I've been a proponent that women's pants should be sized the same way as men's pants, by waist size and length. I've noticed that some companies are starting to do this now. I think they shied away from it because it's damaging to some women's egos to see a size 30 on her pants or whatever. But really, it's better than the arbitrary numbering system currently in place. And we might all end up with clothes that fit us better if we shop by our true size.

I've been 30x32 for as long as I can remember.
@penguin, I thought we were inet friends. You give @grooveholmes a sorry but no congrats for this guy. What a sore loser
I don't buy my wife clothes, well not without her with me. It's a bad idea for all the size reasons listed above.
I do need Mothers Day tips. It is her first. We don't exchange gifts for any holidays/ Birthdays but obviously this is different. The gift will be from Harper not me.
@penguin, I thought we were inet friends. You give @grooveholmes a sorry but no congrats for this guy. What a sore loserOh no!! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be sore. Congrats on the big win, @Jayem!! Too little too late, I know.![]()
