Hey, doldrums, schmoldrums! How can anybody be in the doldrums when Sonic Youth has a new album out??? Sure, they gotta be in their 50s now (not so youthful anymore, number wise), but you can listen FREE right here!

Alan, doldrums or not, your loyal following is ready to chat about nothing in particular anytime, and whats this about the Red Sox, their catcher, 3 years for 30 million bucks? Did I hear wrong?

Ooops. Becket. Pitcher. Maybe its worth it.

I see gr's been having morning cocktails again.

I resent the implication that I am less than sober.
This is me all the time, I don't need cocktails to rave like a drunken fool, my brains are mush just as they are. As a matter of fact, it is an excess of caffeine that is fueling this impromptu chat.
The wife said something like 'what, are you guys going to be chatting about chipmunks and speedos again?' To which I say 'maybe we will, maybe we won't'
The ball is in your court, dear cm.

God. 30 million for 3 years. I'd pitch for the sox for 30 years for 3 million....

The particular 30 million being discussed...

Funny she should mention chipmunks, as I saw one in the cemetery yesterday and wondered if he was harbouring a pair of Speedos.

I'm afraid I'm at a complete loss when it comes to baseball. The last game I saw was when the Jays won the pennant.

And now I hear somewhere that Sept. 1 or thereabouts Sonic Youth and The Flaming Lips play at the New York State Fair.....

New York State Fair, eh? Would that be worth missing the CNE Air Show for?

I wouldn't miss an air show for Kenny Chesney or Foreigner, that's for sure. I mean, "eh"

I am MOSTLY human. Interesting new techno twist, Alan, although that Italian fan got through ('Italy's in')so I guess he is human too.

I have to delete about 20 spams a day as do my sibling blogs on the same small system so this was needed.

Ah, good, the image shows....
