Folks, I'm off to the durty durty for an interview...and some old school home cookin'. Blogging will be sporadic, at best, but I'll try to give updates. I'm thinking I might even break code and tradition and post pictures from the TED. Until then, here, for your listening pleasure, is one of the greatest songs ever recorded/performed. One memory for me....standing in San Marco Square(Venice, Italy for those less inclined to travel)...coming from a gondola ride....and a lone saxophone was playing this song. I stopped....sat down....took it in....and nodded....Ladies and Gentlemen....Mr. Ray Charles....
* normally, I would put the video in this space, but, for some reason, blogger won't let me. so, follow the link for a live performance.

You're lucky. I was escorting two coeds from my college the first time I was in San Marco...and they needed me to block the view of what they were doing in a dark corner.
I don't get it, are you going to the Shire?
spydrz- i don't even want to know...or, do i...?
reg- is that a ridiculously bad hobbit joke? if so, team awesome has it's first emotional fissure....and you're on notice...
oh...and welcome home, dude.
Pfffft, that's nuthin'...I heard a gypsy playing (and singing) The Scorpions' "Still Loving You" on her acoustic guitar in the Paris Metro.
"Ah, yes...'Liberty Leading the People' is in fact a fortysomething Klaus Meine storming the barricades, his thinning skullet swirling in the tempest. In place of a bayonet, his left hand brandishes the dreaded keytar---certain death to the Old Regime."
nah, a hobbit joke would've been way too easy. That last picture of all those weird trees made me think you were going to some pastoral paradise, like something out of one of Tolkien's books.
thanks, it's good to be back (but not really.)
