Of course, some of us didn't. And since I started working for a startup company owned by the Kraft family, I've watched this season more closely than others. But the Giants deserved the win. Sigh. BUT, pitchers and catchers - just over a week away!!!! And my heart belongs to the Red Sox. And, don't forget to vote today! One more thing - I've been pulling for (and donating to) Barack Obama since the day he announced. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I like today's outcome better than Sunday's game... And, um, Mueller - you've met him TWICE!!! Geez Louise, man. Is there anyone you haven't met???? lots of love, Anne ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:55:41 +0000 From: waytoblue@comcast.net Subject: Re: Archie's boys NJC > BUT, pitchers and catchers - just over a week away!!!! And my heart > belongs to the Red Sox. > Hi Anne! I'm really looking forward to this upcoming season as well. My heart belongs to the Red Sox as well but it looks like an interesting season all around, with Joe Torre in L.A., Tom Glavine and Javy Lopez(if he makes the team) and Mike Hampton (supposedly not injured and ready to play but I'll believe it when I see it) back with the Braves, Johann Santana and Pedro with the Mets. I enjoyed the Superbowl though for the most part I didn't really have a stake in the game. When I look at the teams I root for, it gets a bit complicated but I wouldn't have it any other way. baseball- Red Sox, Braves football- Steelers, Falcons, Bucs college football- Dogs, Gators college basketball- UNC, Gators hockey- Tampa Lightning Victor ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 18:49:04 +0000 From: Patti Parlette Subject: njc, Super Tuesday WARNING: Politics (Sorry! But it's a really big day if you were "Born in the U.S.A." -- Hi Rosie and Bob!) Dear Ones: I am still running behind the times on writing and thanking so many of you for interrupting my sorrow in so many beautiful ways ("I just want to STOP, and thank you babies, I just want to STOP..." -- but I have to work -- merde!), so please please forgive me for jumping in with this "forward" (pasted below, after I stop blathering). It is time-sensitive and I know that many of you will be interested in this. And I still have to "take you" to the rally yesterday! Such hope and energy I have never experienced before. The absolute best part was having my Michael from Mountains (the one who almost got Military Madness when he was a college freshman, which would have surely put me up in a sterilized room for life) right next to me, clapping and hooting just as much as his MoM. NOW he understands why I erased all the voicemails from the recruiter five years ago. And the cherry on this ice-cream-castle-in-the-air is that we are going to vote *together* after work -- for the same person, for the same cause. "No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong tonight...."

I voted WEEKS ago, by absentee ballot. Lori Santa Rosa, CA ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 12:58:13 -0800 From: "Randy Remote" Subject: Neil Young and The Dead Rolling Obamas njc Whatever. Neil was pro-Reagan (but anti-Bush). I suppose Barack is the lesser of weasels at this point. Edwards was the last chance for someone that actually represented the people, but was taking an anti-corporate stance, so got about one sixth the media coverage of Obama or Hillary, both of whom are not opposed to nuclear power. Hillary will probably go along with the proposed attacks on Iran. Obama wants to put 100,000 more troops in the mideast. (Don't believe me? Google it). Both of them have compromise health care plans-Hillary's would make it law to sign up with an existing HMO-see "Sicko" for why this is really bad. Obama speaks pretty, is magnetic. Avoids getting specific about the issues. His top advisor is Zbigniew Brzezinski, from Carter's administration, who boasted about his role in starting the Afghani jihadist movement which gave Osama Bin Laden his rise to fame (fighting against the Soviets at the time). This is just the tip of the iceberg regarding the handlers and advisors Obama, Hillary and McCain are tapping. About "advisors linked to atrocities": http://www.democracynow.org/2008/1/3/vote_for_change_atrocity_linked_us You can bet the Repubs are sitting on this, waiting for some serious mudslinging. Add the fact that there are tons of racists and just plain immature people that would be afraid to vote for a woman, and the Dems may not have the slam-dunk they think they do. McCain says we could be in Iraq for 100 years. However, it's hard to get exited about the Dems either, at this point. To quote Neil Young; "Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too". To quote Molly Ivans "you got to dance with them what brung you".

He was thought to be 91 years old. "He died peacefully at about 7 p.m.," said Bob Roth, a spokesman for the Transcendental Meditation movement that the Maharishi founded. He said his death appeared to be due to "natural causes, his age."More at: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OBIT_MAHARISHI_MAHESH_YOGI?SITE=WIMIL& SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT Interesting, I remember reading something about John Lennon accusing him of making advances toward a woman, but I didn't know it was Mia Farrow. Apparently it's unconfirmed.

If you've got a place like there to go, you know you've got to go there... and it's not Cotton Avenue! Today, on Super-Fat Tuesday, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO YOU. At the moment, there are only eight deposits in for Jonifest. I don't need the 33rd floor, but I do need 33 more signups in order to make this happen! If you get the Urge for Going, we need your commitment and deposits right away. Maybe it's the time of year, or maybe it's the time of man, but February 19th is the time by which we need at least 30 more deposits to move forward for the New England Jonifest! SO, chase off those stay-at-home blues, and get yourself back to the garden! Hugs, Ashara **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

All the live ones where he has a beard are simple chord strumming, boring and uninspired. What transpires is he has some existential angst so the singing is OK. What a contrast with the session at Capital C studios where he's clean shaven and wears a hat. < Fool for Love > is a very good song, not much guitar work but great singing and he really puts his heart into it. Likewise < When the Pain Dies Down > is simple strumming but a nice catchy tune. Now the interesting one is < 100 Year Thing > where i discovered in amazement that he can actually play like Steven. As a reviewer noted, < the solo is borrowed from his dad's live version of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes". So why is he wasting his playing ability on the other tunes i don't know. Laziness maybe ? I hope not. Any ideas ? Granted ladies, he's very good looking, just like his dad at his age. My problem with Chris is that i had real high expectations from the son of one of the best guitarists and a great singer songwriter, both of whom i admire. I'd love to catch him on a good night, but it seems it may be a toss up.
