solemn promise to go to er if i start
degrading.

april 29th.

That's great Todd! Wishing you the best! Have a poem (song) to post later. I didn't know it was so old. One of those ones someone found in an old case full of songs, not knowing who wrote it? 1930's something. I first heard 'Hot Tuna' perform it in 1975. A song called "The Baby Tree" author unknown untill someone called it traditional folk.

Arnie can vouch for my immpecable spelling!

*I slept thru the earth quake, but non-the-less I'm glad I did! My son was awake, and heard the walls shake for over a minute, and his Mom woke up from a sound sleep to see things shaking all over!!! So it must have been somewhat intence. Funny in 1983 was the last one of that magnitude (making national news-via Dan Rather) I was awake, and lived in a trailer at the time. It lasted for 2 -3 minutes, and really did shake the place. No-one would believe me at work! Everyone blamed bombing exercises at Fort Drum which is 45 minutes down the road. Sometimes on a clear day you can hear the bombing....

Besides a 1/2 hr. after the quake, I was up puffing on my nebulizer, and had I been awake I'd of probly thought the meds had kicked in a lil too much!!!<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/eek.gif" width=15 height=15>

Thanks Wyld! I'll be waiting on the recipe. I'm looking for a good one, for making the butter!....<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

sorry to hear the tests didn't go well, but very happy you got the doctor's blessing for the trip! go and enjoy, todd..and keep us posted if you can!!

Damn bro! Best of luck with the trip. Would the train have been better for your comfort perhaps? If I didn't have to babysit the darn store, I'd like to drive you there myself. How many miles is AZ from here anyhow????

******The Baby Tree***********

There's an Island way out in the seas
Where the baby's they all grow on trees
It's jolly good fun to swing in the sun
But you have to look out if you sneeze, you sneeze
You have to look out if you sneeze

You have to look out if you sneeze
For swingin' up there in the breeze
If you happen to cough, you might very well fall off
Lord, you tumble, flopdown on your knees, Lord you tumble flop down on your knees

And when the stormy winds wail
And the breezes blow high in the gale
There's the funniest hoppin' & floppin' & droppin
And fat little baby's just hail, hail, fat little baby's just hail

And the babies lie there in a pile
And the grown ups come after awhile
And they always pass by the baby's that cry
And they take only baby's that smile, that smile
Take triplets or twins if they smile

1970 Sorrels learned this orig fr her mother who found it in a book of children's poetry fr the early 1800's she later got the words fr Olive Burl (author)

Have a great trip & hang in there! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15><img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/peace.gif" width=16 height=16>

According to www.mapquest.com, it's 2201 miles from Reading, PA to Flagstaff, AZ. Add about 65 miles from Reading to Phila.

It's a 37 hour trip, if driven straight-thru.

Hey Todd, My man!

I won't be around this weekend to wish you a good and safe trip out west... HomerJ and I are heading to Bethel today to talk with the Town Fathers about the Woodstock Site.

Hope all goes well and smoothly... give your grandson a great big hug from me! (grandbabies are the best!) Keep in touch as best you can while on the road, and let us know when and where people can greet you in NY on your return trip!

Be well, and enjoy! You, I am sure, know better than most of us how precious the time we have is.

Peace, Love, Music & (((((((HUGS)))))))

one of my favorites rb... it wasn't exactly hot tuna, but kantners first swipe at Jefferson Starship, Blows Against the Empire, which I consider one of my defining moments of music (and mayhem) I got thru most of the 70's with that album on the turntable... think i need another fix soon...

"hide witch hide... the good folks come to burn thee... their keen enjoyment hid behind... a gothic mask of duty..."

todd! the date is marked on my calendar.
I'll send you some numbers you can use to reach me...
vaya con dios

Todd, what an adventure! I'm guessing you'll be going through Amarillo and not Dallas--I'd meet the bus if it came through here. But I hope the Texas Panhandle is wearing her spring wildflowers for you. And hang in there for the NM chiles--they are powerful medicine, besides being so tasty. That bus sure is going to be crowded, with all the Blunderites there in spirit! Take care. Ceas
