What brought that up?

I met a very nice couple from Thailand in Holbrook. Arizona! Blubber! Blubber! Blubber!

That's cool that you play chess in your head. I have enough problems playing against a live person. How do you stay ahead of yourself? Also, I'm impressed that you can keep track of the pieces. I would probably cheat and forget where I left a piece - to the obvious advantage of whichever me I was favoring at that time. It is yet another tribute to your brilliance.

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, and my general deficiency of talent doesn't help. I feel good morally about being the bottom-of-the-bucket knave, but then I fell guilty about not inventing and creating.

I thought I said I don't like politics. Did you read through a thin veil of something of a Freudian denial? Why does my impression of what my brain is telling me I hate politics when I really do? Maybe I belong in the funny farm. As a general rule, I don't like political discussions, because they're all about control and spin. I don't know how to participate without walking away feeling like I need a bath - the re-baptism type.

HEAT is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

ARF! AR-AR-AR ARF! WUH! ARF ARF ARF ARF! ARF ARF!

Man! I should have figured that out earlier. Now, I think I am hearing the pulsing whorls of a failing hard drive.

This cool rolling bubble is all set for samba.

Astrud has a voice I like and don't like. As I listened to a lot of her this morning, I was imagining she probably sounded to that generation's parents as bad as Kurt Cobain sounded to us. She has no volume! She skips sounds! She has a funny accent! She sings like a retard!

I really love the girls in Brasil 66. I still haven't recovered my voice since Graeme's incessant demands that we get louder. I should probably get something for it. Anyway, I have never heard Graeme sing, but I guarantee I sound worse than he - unless I sing in a Latin language. Then, it sounds pretty good. I was fantasizing today about singing and playing "Mas que Nada."

Hey. The boss is gone. I'm gonna have a sing along with Sergio and pals.

I'm happy on your charmed life. Keep up the good vibes.

Telestial music, as the say. I know, I should be listening to Moodies.

Are those flute and horn noises coming out of the drums or the piano?

lunazure said The flutes and such seem to be synthesized,

How can you tell? Are you making a funny? Remember, this was recorded back in the day when Mike Pinder was fighting with the mellotron.

lunazure said the girls seem to be lip synching

I thought we had magic technology back then (hushed by the government) that allowed recording without microphones.

lunazure said and they are wearing wigs.

Is that why I can never get my hair to go the way I want it?

lunazure said Good voices, whomever was singing.

The little one is Lani Hall, later Lani Hall Alpert. She is definitely singing on the recording. The other, Karen Philipp did sing with the band, but there is a chance somebody else sang on the audio. I don't know, and I"m too lazy to learn. I do love the voices very much.

lunazure said Is that a gospel channel like I think it is,

It's 60sPG1. I thought you were good at finding my glasses.

lunazure said and those girls are in very short skirts???

I don't mind on occasion seeing somebody dressed more atrociously than me.

lunazure said I rather liked ol' Astrud, it's very bistro.

Yes. I like her scene.
