May the 4’s be with you
Manny you always know the right beverage to bring.
BTW how does champagne go with cheesecake?
each other perfectly, unless Ductape is serving the liver-flavoured variety again.
Might this amateur sommelier suggest a nice Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin or perhaps one of the floral Perrier Jouet bottles in honor of MM?
But if’n we’re all being cheapies, some Segura Viudas or Freixenet will work quite nicely. Those Spaniards know how to make some tasty stuff!
If you’re pouring the Veuve Clicquot, I’m coming to your house for happy hour.
Unfortunately, the bottles are empty right now, but I always buy one of each, VC and PJ for New Year’s… but if uninvited guests show up, we reserve them for later… ain’t I just evil??
I thought everything went with cheesecake.
Close, but no cigar!
I have a short general announcement and then I’m going to resume my RL for awhile.
Cabin Girl – I was cleaning and then I started to make my bed and flopped down on it and it was all over.
Family Man – I am not surprised at all that something with the word ‘phallus’ in it is also the ‘smelly corpse’ plant. I’ve noticed the correlation for years.
Okay, now shower and something to eat because I’m famished from my nap.
Buh-Bye
Too bad Mary isn’t around. Champagne and M&M’s.
maybe it’s a long wkend for her.
MMM…M’s, champagne, cheesecake…who needs dinner anyway?
did a very nice job on that graphic. Give him a pat on the back from me.
I did (he blushed)…he just adjusted the colors and put the words on the ribbon. I have a Photoshop deficiency.
Love it!!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM……
Help Me Understand You – Buckwheat Zydeco
On and On – Old and In the Way
Rosalie McFall – Grateful Dead
The Walking Dead – Dropkick Murphys
Morning Morgantown – Joni Mitchell
Steal Your Love – Lucinda Williams
Across the Universe – Rufus Wainwright
Thank You – Bonnie Raitt
The Letter – Natalie Merchant
Born at the Right Time – Paul Simon
Anybody else?
Not only is there only one name on the list I haven’t heard of, we have cd’s by most of the people on it.
I’m guessing that one would be the Dropkick Murphys?
Who would that be? I only found out about Rufus Wainwright (the son of Loudon III, as far as I can tell) because the Vinyl Cafe played “Oh What A World” one day. Stuart McLean plays some great stuff, and since he sticks to Canadian music you get to hear a lot of music that’ll never make it to airplay in the States.
Of more import to me is that Rufus is the son of Kate McGarrigle (one half of the group Kate and Anna McGarrigle), all of whose recordings I own.
CG was right on which one I didn’t know.
BTW, there’s a wonderful family CD called the McGarrigle Hour that includes Kate, Anna, Rufus, Loudon plus Rufus’ sister Martha, another McGarrigle sister and a few long-standing musical buddies, most notably Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.
We love Rufus Wainwright – although I cannot for the life of me say it right the first time. It’s alway Woofus Rainwhite.
Might I suggest adding a couple of other Joni tunes?
My choices would also include Ladies of the Canyon and Little Green and River if’n that’s ok by you.
Works for me…
That one slipped my mind, Andi. But anything on Blue is fantastic. It’s my favorite Joni of all time.
Hmm, maybe we should have included California too?
Our AC man came over and they have to order a part. It will take 3 or 4 days to get here, so no AC for awhile. Today it’s supposed to be 90F and by Tuesday 95F. It break out all the fans time.
To all my wonderful friends up north that want some spring/summer. I’ll trade you at least a week.
No it’s not SallyCat’s puppies or kittens. It’s baby leaves!

Do I get a science prize for identifying them correctly?
?
No because you didn’t identify them correctly.
I got two out of four and never heard of the other two. The first one looks just like a dogwood.
I’m having my doubts that this new-fangled electricity thing is going to catch on, what with it coming and going willy-nilly.
Yeah, what’s up with that? There’s no bad weather and it’s still cutting out?
I’m guessing there was a branch somewhere that blown onto another branch during the storm that decided it was through hanging around. Or the cosmic muffin thought it would be amusing to see how many times I’m willing to reset the clock on the coffeemaker.
Do I get prize for knowing everyone in your ten except Dian Schuur?
Is she that blind woman who belts out songs?
Still doesn’t sound familiar…
and it’s not doing a thing.
See you all later.
baby leaves are cute, too!

There’s a name I didn’t expect to see. He shows up at one of the SF cons I attend every spring and plays some fun stuff.
He was apparently at some con or another in the Seattle area last year (Tolcon, I think) and I gave my sister-in-law and her husband $30 to pick all three of his CDs (at the time) for me. He’s funny and talented.
I like Vader Boy but I get an even bigger kick out of A Man Named Jayne.

WTF am I doing inside???
Maybe with winter wasn’t rough enough to truly appreciate spring?
Well, tomorrow I leave for the ND boonies. It will be a nice break from the city. Hope to come back with some interesting photos.
Now, I think I’ll go outside and see if I can find something to do, and come back here again when it gets really loud and noisy.
or the lack of trees will get to me but at this size it’s rather nice — I like the geometry of it.
gorgeous photo, NDD! really gorgeous!
I thought winter ended on May 15, in North Dakota.
never ended in North Dakota — they just sometimes had periods of unseasonably warm weather.
sounds like barbecue weather to me..got a beer
No coal charcoals in the country, only wood coals, I might had. There free, just add a little extra energy and patience.
there’s winter and then there’s road const season. Actually that about covers it.
I have some freshly shot flowers for MM that I took earlier today while I was still slacking on working. This one I titled Hyacinth Bucket, and those in the know will know full well where that comes from! LOL
I have a luscious tulip about to pop pic that I will post for MM later!
You slackers been having fun today? While I toiled inside envying the dogs outside and you folks here.
I have to head back to work for a while longer, but will be back later I hope! I’m just itchin for Andi to see that tulip pic I took… too bad Olivia isn’t here, but I’ll make sure she sees it later. I did quite well on it, if I may say so myself. (Hears Andi saying, ‘You did ok, but there’s room for improvement’ … LOL)
MM’s liberation has really put me in a festive mood, despite all the work to do today!
one you’ve posted and I’ve missed or have you not posted it yet?
No, it’s one I took earlier today… the Olympic Flames are about to pop, and this will be the first one of the year.
yup i’m here and love the flowers!
Waves of joy are washing over me!

A THOUSAND TIMES LOUDER!!!!! HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY!!!
Excuse the shouting, but I’m allowing myself to do it today in honor of MM, and besides, my voice has to carry farther than Manny’s does!
Here’s the almost to pop tulip in honor of MM…
Félicitations, Mère des Mythes!
yaaaaaaay! i hear tulips popping!
but I’ll be it’s really splashy when it opens up.
Oh they are, and I hope you are one of the first to see them! Ironically enough, I was given these bulbs 5 years ago by a *itch (rhymes with ‘witch’) when I quit a job because of her constant abuse. LOL. At least I got nice tulips from her, but I don’t associate them with her anymore!
Here’s what those tulips are up to!
I think I’m going for outrageously exuberant.
I think the flowers are wonderful, but……
This is MM’s freedom day. Break out the hard stuff. Get the party hat. Lets get this party rolling.
MM is Freeeeeeeeee!
Party on folks! I’ve got to go out for a while to get some groceries and such, then dinner, but will be back later on (not sure when yet) to see how the festivities are progressing.
Are we all feeling such joy and relief today? If my feelings are any indication, we should be sending a solar storm of positive vibrations MM’s way. And I can only try to imagine how she feels right now!
Hell, I even gave up on finishing my work today, I got so wrapped up here. 2 hours in the morning over coffee will dispense with it, then I can spend the rest of the day in the yard.
Have fun MM and all you bacchanalians!
New growth in the spring, IVG. New growth in the spring!
oooooooh fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now just click your heels. There’s no place like home.
I am clicking those heels with all my might!
of something I’ve been meaning to ask — how soon are you heading home?
Also, did you get the pdf?
23rd which is a Sunday. My son and husband are coming up to help me move back down there. Then it’s basically mythmother in her LA homebase syndrome, which — altogether — has not been wholly unsucessful.
about getting home and back to your beloved Shadow? I sure would!
Yes, very thanks, I am wondering what furry girl Shadow is doing every minute. This whole experience shows me that there are things that are worse than being out of a (well-paying) job.
downtime? If so, I hope you can put to use taking a slew of gorgeous pictures to keep us company even after you get back to L.A.
Yes, you’ve hit on my very plan you clever girl!
woo-hoo!
woo-hoo just about sums it up!
that got a laugh out of me, 1st of the day.
Touché on mentioning the Titan Arum earlier… I read that comment of SN’s and thought exactly the same thing! But you, geezer, (ah hem) beat me to it! Saved me having to look for the picture of it though!
Always willing to please. 🙂
Huh? What did I miss?
If I remember your post right just a smelly phallus. 😉
Plant this is.
Oh, that one. That was so long ago, but how could I forget?
yeah, a smelly dick post — how could you forget.
Seems like something that would stick in my head – wait that sounded really bad.
yeah, a smelly dick post — how could you forget.
You know why do these things keep coming up under the subject with my name in it.
LOL!
I can just imagine if someone did a google search with my name and this stuff came up.
I can always say it was SN and Andi and DJ and CG and…
We’ve turned you from just an every day southern gentleman into the sex and mud wrestling star of the FBC.
It’s the napitis. It does it to me all the time.
BTW I changed the way to make remarks on my site to holoscan. I didn’t know I would loose all the previous comments by changing. So don’t go thinking I erased anything.
I have to run out for a bit…I’ll be back in a while.
But here’s a New Lounge to continue the party in!
