Two of my sisters had babies in the last forty-eight hours. Each had girls; one weighing 9 pounds 2 ounces the other was 9 pounds 11 ounces. These will bring my collection of nieces and nephews to nine. If I can get permission from my sisters I’ll post photos. Rest assured though, we’ve now got a grand total of 90 fingers and 90 toes, though J hasn’t given me a current count on her son’s digits.
A man calls a suicide hotline and discovers that it’s been outsourced to Pakistan. The man says “I’m thinking of killing myself.” The man on the other end of the phone says “Do you know how to fly an airplane?”
Back in the very early days of the blog I posted a bit about a local radio station, WDVX, that plays alt-country, bluegrass and americana. While I was tickled pink to have an awesome indy radio station right here in Knoxville, I missed rock music.
I recently discovered WFIV, an independent rock station broadcasting out of Farragut. They play great alternative rock from the eighties, nineties and the current stuff. They stream so you can check them out no matter where you live. I recommend listening late on Fridays where Todd plays really mellow “ambient” music.
It’s not listener supported like WDVX and NPR, but quite honestly I’d rather listen to commercials than have programming interrupted for a week while the hosts beg for cash.
In an effort to keep up with new posts and do my part to help in the war effort, I’m launching a new series. I’m going to feature some really cool stuff that you don’t need but should buy anyway; you know, to help the economy. Enjoy!
So I’m going to try and start posting again. I may someday go into all the reasons why I stopped but not tonight. (I actually just deleted an entire post I had written outlining a few reasons but…well…maybe some other time.) I do want to get you caught up though. I’ve decided to just give you the top fifteen words that more or less sum up the past few months. If any strike your fancy, let me know and I may elaborate.
That sums it up kids.
