... on this eve of st paddy's day. I, for one, plan on laying low and not getting too caught up in the annual spiritfest, as it were. to be sure, to be sure.

question for the luddities: why do so many people leave messages on cellphones with their name, time & date? if you're a pal, I already have you in my list, and the message bank automatically records the time & date. plus my 'missed calls' reg lists your call, so any message at all is kinda redundant.

especially when it's "hi, it's [insert name here], it's about..... (pause) 12.15 on saturday. call me back, k?"

I mean, I still love you, but the telcos (and their shareholders) love you more than I do.

chris & I have been trying to get the blues pirates album wrapped up, also the new baker's dozen cd is back from the press and will be made available in the next week.
