Just so Mel doesn’t think her nagging isn’t falling on deaf ears, here’s a post.

Kurt Vonnegut is dead.  For those of you who read him in high school, he wasn’t as great as you remember him.  For those that read him after, I’m sure you find his death to be nothing more than a footnote.

What the heck is going on in Virginia?

My nephew watched Bugs Life and picked up the ‘you’re fired’ thing Tuck and Roll do when the flea fires them from the circus.  He’s also associated the term with people actually loosing their jobs and has learned that people say “you’ll find a better job” to people who’ve suffered this misfortue.  The other day he was in a McDonalds and looked at the manager and said “You’re fired! But don’t worry, you’ll find a better job.”

I went to my first Widespread Panic show.  I got to hear some favorites; Down, Big Whooly Mammoth, Immitation Leather Shoes and Pigeons.  I also had to suffer through Casa del Grillo and the obligitory Drums.

It was a two night show and I only went on the second night.   I missed Tall Boy, Little Lilly, Climb to Safety and my personal friggin favorite, Nobody’s Loss.  I’m going to buy the show.

We also were able to walk the lot after the show so I got nearly the whole experience.  It was a good first show, a good show by all standards I’m told.

Oh, I also need to mention Johnny Hart died.  He did the Wizard of Id and BC comic strips.  BC was good stuff, Wizard of Id was hit or miss.

So that’s it.  I’ll try to do better about posting.
