As most of you now know, I am a male-type person, notwithstanding the way I shorten my first name. So let's hear it for middle-aged boys who love middle-aged-girl-folk/pop-singer/songwriters!

Ah to be young again, eh Lindsey and Anna? >> Happy Birthday, Dave! I wish to be a member of the Old Farts Club as well... i turned a hearty 30 in june... which, may or may not be old... depends on how you look at it... a few weeks ago i ate at a chinese restaurant in Corpus Christi whilst visiting my roommate's family. My fortune cookie said "You will be lucky in Lottery." Oh. Okay. Thought I.... Forgot all about it until i was filling up my gas tank for the drive back to austin that night with my roommate... lady at the counter asked us if we wanted a lottery ticket. remembering the omniscient edible, we accepted, purchasing one of the $3 variety called "Road Trip" for we were indeed on a road trip. went to the car, scratched that sucker off and won $10!! WOO! so i went back in to claim my beloved prize... the lady sez, "I can't give the prize to you because you are not 18." Lord. She went on to say that she could award the prize to my roommate bcz she was older. Dangit...she is only 24. Sigh. So i went back to my car, got my ID and got my ten bucks. "I swear I'm 30," i exclaimed! she gave me the money reluctantly. To some i may not seem too old, but one of my co-workers turns 19 on friday... she had never heard of Bazooka gum. MAN!!!!!!!!!! Further evidence of my aging comes about when we play Name That Tune with Walgreen's muzac... my technicians had never heard the song Morning Train by Sheena Easton or "Open Arms" by Journey. Dang that made me feel old. anyways... i thought somewhere in there i had a point... but... i guess not. (thinking desparately of a way to incorporate shawn into this...) WAIT A MINUTE! Shawn just came on my CD player -- live version of "Your Gonna Make Me Lonsome When you Go" played slower and quieter than usual. awesome. I recently got a ... ummmm... hmmmm... well, it rhymes with "Cootmeg"... from ebay of shawn live at the Warfield in 1994. very nice. shhhhhh.. i know. "Cootmegs" Bad. i coulnd't help myself. it was the perfect reminder of the first time i had seen shawn live during the covergirl tour. what can i say? gots ta run... ~bH - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.

Good idea BiGenderBoy ;^) We could call it small-CosmeticSurgery-repairs And then bH (in a most excellent & long overdue ramble) sez: >...so i went back in to claim my beloved prize... >the lady sez, "I can't give the prize to you >because you are not 18." Lord. Aha~! You are indeed welcome in our new group bH.. so long as you promise not to dip into the Walgreen's Alpha Hydroxy supply ever again. - -Rob (verifiable old fart @Shawn's age **much easier than saying the actual number** and counting fast) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.

Now I'm wondering if anyone can support the claim of one of my elders that Snuffy on Sesame Street used to be invisible.
