Today’s Music: AC/DC – Thunderstruck
…But I know where I am right now – over at Running On Sober with Michael from Good2BeGone doing Life In 6 Songs for Christy, CK Hope and Mama Mick.
Check it out, and you can even submit your own playlist!
(And comment over there too!)

I don’t know what this is but I will listen to the music and hope it offers some solace for just cutting the tip of my finger off (along with loads of lilacs… they are so beautiful). Boo for that but yay for this on a Monday morning. Ok, I just went over there and figured it out– SO COOL! Will comment when typing is no longer painful.

But think how much more beautiful the lilacs will be with that fertilizer!
Hope it’s a shallow cut. I have nicks all over my hands from this weekend’s packing.

That’s like an italicized reply to one of your poll answers, mister!
Small nicks and cuts are par for the course in my business but no, unfortunately, this fits into the Deepish and Will Not Stop Bleeding category and has warranted a special trip to Walgreens for gauze (?) and tape (?) and super glue (?) which I hope will work.
Are you moving?

I was listing to Emerson, Lake and Palmer until my brother bought a Clash album for me. He said if I didn’t change my ways musically he was going to kick my ass.
Eric Clampton is…I hope you’re sitting down…overrated. The best part of Layla are those pounding piano chords.
Poor SRV. Gone but not forgotten. My fried got to see him live. What’s better than that? Not much.

Some of us are crushed so utterly and completely, that we actually end up ENJOYING the experience. That’s turning things around.
No card punch for you. There’s no end to it, is my understanding.

I’d be very curious to hear your version of this list. There is no wrong answer.
I know a lot of people don’t like Clapton, but I think it’s legitimate to say he expanded the boundaries of what could be done with a guitar, along with guys like Jimi Hendrix and Bill Frissell.
