My lease favorite term is the one we heard 5 years ago today, shock and
awe.

Yeah.  It sucks that my birthday is now the anniversary of that shit.

It also sucks that my my youngest daughter has never known a year when we
weren't in that war.  Yep, that's right:  Shock and Awe can go to
Kindergarten this fall.

We totally forgot Robyn's birthday this year, didn't we?

Subject: just 'cause I thought some of you might be interested

If you go over to youtube, check this out

Since some of you are musicians, I thought you might be interested in this 
story called The Musician Who Heard Too Much, which aired on 20/20 last 
week.  It's about my friend Adrian, who is a horn player.  FYI, German 
insurance ended up paying for the whole thing, including his and his 
wife's trip and stay in Baltimore.  It's been an amazing journey, and I've 
been along for the ride for most of it.

Subject: In Bruges... cd?

Since I've switch to feg-digest mode I've been very bad about participating in feg talk (not that I did a whole lot before).

Last night I went to go see the movie In Bruges with my good friend Jeff. Before we went into the theater, he gave me three things. One of them was a box of Fast Piece Of Furniture cds. This is Jeff most recent band project (Jeff co-owns Dischord Records and was the drummer in Minor Threat in the early 80's). Anyway Dischord hasn't been doing alot to promote the album which came out less than a year ago and Jeff decided to unload a bunch on me -which is great because I think it's a pretty great album. So now I've got a bunch of FPoF cds that I'm going to send out to review places and such, but I wanted to reserve 5 of them to send out to some fegs.

If anyone is interested in a FREE Fast Piece Of Furniture cd (you get to hear me play the glockenspiel!) let me know. I'll mail them out to the 1st 5 requests I get. 

Please email me directly as I'm on digest.

Sad to hear Clarke has passed. A City And the Stars is one of my favorites books.

PS: We both enjoyed In Bruges!
