[lucy-list] Benay goes incommunicado ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 16:37:47 -0500 From: "Timothy Bruce" Subject: [lucy-list] Falcon Ridge on Grassy Hill? Say, Mr. Neff of GrassyHill mentioned that he thought we may one day hear the Falcon Ridge sets on-line. Anything become of that? Is it still going to happen? And, when it happens, can someone who knows give the link? Many thanks!

AND of the fighting of panic over whether all the work I did really will turn out OK come next week. AND of continuing work dreams, in which I am more productive than at any point in my waking hours but end up with NOTHING to show for it when I wake up. So, to dispel the panic and the work dreams, I will be taking a secret journey tomorrow morning to a vast wilderness in a far-off land for a Weekend of Rejuvenation. OK, so it is a bus trip...and it is to my aunt and uncle's house in Connecticut. But it might as well be a vast wilderness. There are wild beasts (no kaplanskies, but three energetic cats). There is no accessible paper version of New York Times---not even the non-New York version, the paper's subpar but acceptable cousin. And, most shockingly, there is no email. More precisely, there IS Internet service, and my aunt has email, but even though it's her home, her account is through her Big Important Company...and somehow this means I'm not allowed to go into my email remotely there. I'm not fully certain why...but suffice it to say she looks at me with panic if she thinks I'm even going to TRY to check my email, such that I figure any such action would instantly cause her to lose her job and might well make her computer explode too. I like my aunt, and I think she wants to keep her job, and I don't want her computer to explode. So, no email in Connecticut. Which means that for the next three days, I will be able to read the Lucy-list via the archives, but not post to it. With that in mind, no doubt some of you will be plotting ways to convince this aunt to take me in permanently...but the fact remains that it will be a hardship for me. And if nobody says anything at all on the list, I will be bored, but if I feel the desire to participate, I will be frustrated. Therefore, in the interests of my having a peaceful weekend, I would like to respectfully request that for the next three days, the Lucy-list discuss topics that I would like to read about but on which I have nothing much to say. Some suggestions: 1. Siblings. I have none, so I have nothing to say about siblings, but I always wanted them, and I am almost voyeuristically interested in other people's sibling experiences. (Lucy relevance factor: Lucy has siblings.) 2. Movies. I've been working so much that I haven't seen any movies in ages. I haven't even seen movie REVIEWS. So I have nothing to say about movies but am interested in what's out there. And if you wanted to play a good joke on me, you could probably even make up a completely fake review of a nonexistent movie and make it sound really great such that I would rush to see it upon my return to New York, only to realize it wasn't a real movie after all. (Lucy relevance factor: Lucy's song Don't Mind Me was written for a nonexistent movie.) 3. House ownership. I have lived in apartments for years and years now, and although I grew up in houses, I hardly remember them. It now seems like a magical idea that in some parts of the country you can live in a place where the ENTIRE structure is yours. So I have nothing to say about house ownership, but am nonetheless very interested in house discussions. (Lucy relevance factor: Lucy has a song called This Is Home. OK, so it's not at all about a HOUSE. But give me credit for trying here.) Enjoy the weekend, all!
