The WAY back machine! 2003

And also to YOU!!!

Thanks to Raymond Cummings, I'm in this issue as well. It is an honor to share this with Chloe and everyone else!

I still have both my parents. The part about your dad hit home. I'm one of the few people my age that I know who have ANY living parents. It's my turn, and I try not to think about that every single day.

OH, THAT'S IT. I'M NEVER CONVERSING WITH YOU AGAIN.

I am so sorry. We've had quite a few valleys to walk through this year, but the peaks have been great. YOU have provided some of those much-needed peaks! Again, I cannot thank you enough.

I still don't know what I said that they didn't like!

All we got was (well needed)rain.

I pre-ordered a copy of the MBV book. Thanks for making me aware of it here!

One of the first 45s I owned was this song and Born On The Bayou.

I have a few of these books. Good reads.

Only the second show the SOH has ever played.

Good picture!

LOVE ME SOME MISS LESLIE.

This was in a movie. I think Whoopie Goldberg was in it?

I have Stage 3 Kidney DISEASE, but not failure (PRAISE GOD). I have no symptoms and no noticeable problems. Along with the other health stuff, I just see my doctors on a regular basis. It could be SO much worse. I'm so sorry for your little buddy!
