While it died not in the direct line of fire (which would be en route to or on the way back home from a folk show), it was giving valiant service trying to get me back home after spending Thanksgiving in NY state. For several months now, it had been running without reverse, requiring truly creative parking maneuvers. For all those who had been in my car or had sighted my car along the Mass Pike at some time or for those who have answered, in response to someone's query, "whose car with the Kennedys and Nields and Dar and EFO bumper stickers?" "oh, that HAS to be Sheila's," thanks for the memories. Matt, I found something of yours this afternoon while cleaning it out (Nooker Libby's CD -- commerical break: visit http://www.libbywiebel.com/ to order yours!). For those in the past couple of months who have pushed me out of a parking space after a show, I am grateful, and you don't have to worry about doing that anymore!! I REALLY thought it had ONE MORE Birchmere trip in it, truly I did, but I guess it was not to be. Besides which, Bob had already insisted that we were going to take his car. Something about his having reverse or not worrying about MAKING it there or something. Oh, God, I have to go viist Bulletproof to replace all of my bumper stickers. And Dashboard Buddha and Dasboard Squeaky Frog are homeless!!! This is a sad, sad day. But, I will be at the Birchmere this Friday, with Bob and his dad and stepmom. It's their first time meeting me, so feel free to come by and make them believe that I know EVERYONE in DC! ;-) Peace, Sheila and Cosette (who is the bravest trooper of a kitty, since she was with me when we broke down and had to hang out in the cold and all) Check out the Kennedys' Official Home Page: http://www.KennedysMusic.com/ Fab photos, the Official tour diary, dashboard Buddha haiku, groovy merchandise...what more could you ask for? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Dec 2002 17:50:28 EST From: Kennedylst@aol.com Subject: [JP] The Kennedys December 2002 newsletter! 6 Welcome to The Kennedys' E-Newsletter for December 2002!
