I feel gloriously chipper this morning, as I've been out playing in my new yard since 8am. Life is good. :)

'Cause about 9 out of 10 of those seem to be about Repuke polemics.

all the lefty shows seemed to be on in the wee hours. :(

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Hey, I haven't seen any of your new stuff... no time online lately :(

written anything good? :evilgrin:

:hug:

Nothing posted though.

Writer's Blockhead ;)

Been working at my drumming mostly, and after a day full of lost parts and other headaches, the noggin is a bit weary.

I'll be out of the slump soon. There's a bit of an idea about Dumbya's foolish remarks in Israel this week, just letting it find it's proper vehicle, and not rushing it.
