Greetings, Earthlings! Fellow travelers! Turns out we miscalculated the days of our mare Suzy's pregnancy. We'd remembered the last term's being 328 days when it was actually 337. Once I read an article about marijuana and memory but I don't remember what it said. D-date has been moved up to May 25. So if my posts get erratic or psychotic this week, read my other note to the faithful, below.
Not much to add today but this, another tip to live by. See, it's like this here: If I don't pass along this lore, it don't get passed on. Keep that up and culture disappears like grain alcohol touched with burning flame.
My pal Brian reviewed an Arthur Blythe record I hadn't heard so I asked if he could send me a burn. Don't have a burner, he says. How about a cassette? Don't have a tape player. So, being the good guy he is, he sent me the lp (along with another by Dudu Pukwana) so I could burn one here. Loaner vinyl.
Dis here's the lore, though, and you can bank it: When I bought my first burner, a Philipps' piece of shit, I had two cassette decks, one of which only worked on "play," not "record," but it was a good one for playback. Had pretty good fi for a casette deck. I used the other for dubbing copies of tapes because it was an ok recorder but a piece of shit on playback. So when I got the Philipps burner, I got rid of the cassette deck that didn't work on "record" anymore, idiotically thinking that now I had a burner, I had no use for a second cassette deck. Wrong. The burner function of the burner crapped out in only one year. Leaving me two machines to play CDs on but nothing I could burn one with and, having jettisoned the second cassette deck, nothing I could copy tapes with, either. So, I went a couple-three years with no copying capability at all. (I've since replaced the piece of shit Philipps with a studio-quality burner that works just fine and also allows for setting real record levels -- unlike the Philipps, which had an idiot-proofing feature that limited the gain of the recorded signal so that nitwits who can't operate a VHS machine yet wouldn't ruin their burns with distortion.)
Elwood's comment on hearing this sad tale: "Never get rid of a tape deck."
So, don't.
And don't forget Michael's myspace place with new blog, either, 'less you want culture to die and you don't want that, do you.
One night last year when the Sensitivos were playing in St. Albans, Vt., City Of Light, City Of Dreams, he offered history and historical commentary for the ages, but, as is almost always the case, the lesson was lost on most. He told them "Originally we went to New Hampshire because we wanted to live free or die. But they wouldn't let us do that, so we came to Vermont to die."

As possible a final test of the basketball unit, or simply as a game of Munchkin
with Gareth and a few others. First, you will want to think about what happens after
my trip ends on Saturday. However, the opening ceremony, which is heavy and moves quickly, use a balloon or
a beach ball. Be reminded that you can play the game.
