looking for an almond joy bar recipe (this one is different from the one i lost) that i lost somewhere in the house tonight....found this neat candy bar wrapper collection. does anyone remember the last time they had a charleston? i split one with jason rothrock....we must have been around 5...maybe 4. our mom'r took us with them shopping. we road in the backseat eating it after going into butt drugs in corydon, in. i seem to recall jason's sister, randy, teaching us the altered lyrics to the popeye theme, "i'm popeye the sailor man. i live in a garbage can....." i'm sure everyone knows the rest. if not.....don't worry. it's pretty stupid.

i used to be a huge dr. katz fan when i could find it on comedy central. needless to say i was thrilled to see him as a guest last night on politically incorrect. unfortunately it was another one of those nights where the guests with nothing intelligent to say refuse to let anyone else speak for fear that their ignorance will be detected. bring him back, bill.....please!

hanukah begins today at dusk. shalom. and best wishes!

in college i took an intro to poetry course for a humanities requirement. i have always been a poetry freak, but for the first time i was allowed to venture deep inside myself to find personal interpretation without a teacher saying "WRONG, try again." i think i was the only student in class that enjoyed t.s. eliot. the waste land truly is a work of art. "tell her i bring the horoscope myself: one must be so careful these days."

when you live backed up against the foothills it gets dark about 4:30pm...i'm so glad the days are getting longer now....lovely are thee, winter solstice. welcome back, sun!

i used to work with annie who carried a white buffalo fetish...and who first introduced me to the story of the white buffalo. i hope she comes back real soon.

today billy bragg turns 46. at least i think that's what i heard....i'm quite partial to mermaid avenue with wilco.

when i come home on my lunch break i always tune in to judge wapner's animal court. and i would be remiss if i didn't give a shout out for jeff irwin. that man has a heart of gold. i think he shines.

i'm quite enjoying my tommyknocker almond creme. mmm...st. john's wort...they should have called it mellow yellow.....
