In eight minutes it goes from the east coast of Florida to the Indian Ocean. I wonder how much water it turns into steam when it splashes down? Aren't there any vessels in the Indian Ocean?!

I spoke with our Julius last night. Gail is doing well, and he expects her to be moved from ICU to a regular room by today. Poor Gail hasn't eaten in over 5 days and he says she is really hungry. I asked what she would like to eat and he replied: "Banana cream pie, or anything with blueberries in it." (Uh oh! Maybe I should not be sharing this information -- I can just see the JMDL milk trucks making their morning rounds through Morning Morgantown up to the receiving docks at UCSF Medical Center tomorrow....overwhelming that hospital with banana cream pies and blueberry muffins. No, no -- don't do it! wink, wink...) I shared with him a few kidney transplant success stories, and he gently reminded me that we are talking about a transplanted pancreas, too. One step at a time, we agreed. Calm and focused. Slow and steady wins the race. We also discussed both sides now, and shared the sorrow of the donor's grieving family which we feel,very deeply. (Sorry -- but that is part of this whole experience. I can't not mention the shadows amidst the light.) He is still raving about the transplant team, with whom he has really connected. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of them joining us here in Joniland! He's got to be the best patient advocate going...if I ever need surgery, I'm calling Julius! Okay, Gail and Julius, I know at some point you are reading this, so feel the circle of love that goes round and round you both. And Gail, bon appetit et bon sante! Love, Patti P. P.S. Mags -- I hope you are moved in and are no worse for the wear. May you be "blessed, darlin'," in your new home...but not tested! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2005 20:56:40 -0500 From: "mia ortlieb" Subject: re: Favorite Canadian Park Names - njc In Wisconsin, we've got a Bong State Recreational Park. I've never been there, and I'm not sure what kind of recreation goes on there. It's in Kenosha. Hey Bob Muller, maybe you could stop there and give us a full report. Or maybe we could have WisconsinFest there. We'd have to get Lori to come out, though. ;-) Mia <> ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2005 20:28:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Parts of Yes Subject: Re: Night Ride Home Hi everyone, I just listened to "Night Ride Home" in its entirety and have fallen in love with it. This was not always the case; when I purchased it about a year ago, I could barely listen to half of it in one sitting. I had already heard the two songs that were on "Misses" but these did not touch me as much as other Joni songs. Now, though I greatly appreciate this later work of Joni's. The sound of her voice and the instruments is sweeter, and I agree with one reviewer that the lack of guest musicians and singers gives the album more "immediacy." It seems as though she'd moved passed some anger she had in the mid and late 80s without sacrificing the personal and political messages she hoped to convey through the songs. I think the best example of this balance is the track, "Windfall (Everything for Nothing)." It's my favorite song on the album, but I cannot tell what it is exactly about. Anyone care to shed some light? This album reminds me of Carly Simon's "Have you seen me lately?" In fact, their release dates are only about a year a part. Joni's album is more profound and complext, but to me these works both represent a coming of age during a person's middle-age. "Night Ride Home" also reminds me of a more accessible "Wild Things Run Fast." Take care, Sean "Going to the church You chant For my downfall Chanting for my house My friends You want it all The pillows on my bed The visions in my head You want too much You want too badly You want everything for nothing" -Joni Mitchell, "The Windfall (Everything for Nothing)" "What's someone like me doing in a life like this?" - Cyndi Lauper, "Someone Like Me" "It took an hour, maybe a day But once I really listened, the noise Just went away" - Liz Phair, "Stratford-On-Guy" (1993) "On a clear day, I bet you can see the class struggle from here..." - - Katrin Cartlidge (Hannah) in Mike Leigh's "Career Girls" (1997) "All I know of you is in my memory All I ask is you Remember me." - Suzanne Vega "Rosemary" (1998) ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2005 22:35:13 -0500 From: "mia ortlieb" Subject: Rickie Lee Jones - njc Last night, I saw Rickie Lee Jones perform at the lovely historic and intimate Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. She was superb and her voice has not changed a bit. Her band consisted of one guitarist and one cello/bassist. There was no drum set. The first half she played her piano and then she switched over to her acoustic guitar. Some of the songs that I can recall from my foggy memory were: Magazine, We Belong Together, Pirates, Lucky Guy, Coolsville, Jukebox Fury, Living it Up, On Saturday Afternoons in 1963, Youngblood, Chuck E's in Love, Last Chance Texaco, Weasel and the White Boys Cool, and Ugly Man. I'm sure there were more, I just can't remember all the names. She closed with a great rendition of Bowie's 'Rebel Rebel.' Rickie Lee played for about two hours, and because the theater is so small, there was a lot of banter back and forth from and to the audience. Very cool venue to be in. When she first came out on stage, she commented on how she bought the shirt she was wearing just for the occasion, and joked about how big the cuffs were. Then she joked about having to finish her cocktail first. After a couple of songs on the piano, she said there was a bug that landed on the keyboard, which was distracting, and when she hit a big G chord, the bug's life had ended. Later, some girl walked up with a real cocktail and insisted that the guitarist give it to Rickie. Not a smart move. Rickie made some crack about how it would be like tripping on acid or something, then asked what what was it - wine? We'll give it to Jesus, he likes wine. Some time later she cracked some jokes about her divorce. Before she played Ugly Man, Rickie said, "Now, this is the time of the night when all the Black Panthers are supposed to climb up on stage and sing behind me. The Black Panthers are the only people in this country with any sense of revolution left in their soul - am I right?" - roars from the audience, then more political banter back and forth about the Bushies and the state of world affairs. At the end of the night, she wished for everyone to make it through just one more year alive and safe - a kinda baby-steps goal she has set for mankind. I was really happy she played for a couple of hours. About 13 years ago, I saw her in concert, and I was very disappointed because she played an extremely short set and didn't speak to the audience at all. This time around was a completely different Rickie Lee. The only criticism I have about this last show is that I wish she would have played more songs from "The Evening of My Best Day." This is now my fav album from her collection. Mia ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 05:11:24 +0100 (BST) From: Jamie Zubairi Subject: Re: Night Ride Home Hmmmm... Yes that 'Windfall' can of worms. Hi Sean, I always like reading your quotes after your posts... The WIndfall is alledgedly (I think we have to write that for legal purposes, and to prevent flaming! lol) her maid who was taking her money, saying she was sending it back to Guatemala but really was taking holidays, so Joni kicked her in the shins and then the maid sued, Joni counter sued. They settled out of court. Initially, I thought it was about Larry ('God, he's so lazy, he does nothing around the house...' I could almost hear her say... but no... that was just fantareal)...
