Ann Althouse said...: This is a song that used to intensify my dread of Monday morning, many years ago when I had a job I didn't love.

Somehow it seemed to help!; 9/12/11, 8:49 AM
Shouting Thomas said...: Not yet...

Got a day or two before my contract at the World Trade Center begins.

Nice day for a bike ride. I'll do my ten mile run.; 9/12/11, 8:49 AM

is cold, cold, cold; 9/12/11, 8:49 AM

Shouting Thomas said...: No orange juice!

138 calories per 10 oz. serving.

Empty calories.

Eat an orange instead.

Love Neil Young's music. Except when he starts yammering about politics. Then, I just wish he would STFU.; 9/12/11, 8:54 AM

Talking about the WTC, This is a strange video.; 9/12/11, 8:56 AM

Strange indeed!; 9/12/11, 8:58 AM
Shouting Thomas said...: I developed an online course shortly before 9/11 (for lawyers, as I remember).

We thought that, since NYC is the mecca of the corporate legal biz, that pictures and video of the WTC would be great background stuff.

After 9/11, we had to redo all the courses, pulling out the pictures and video of the WTC. Can't remember what we used as replacements.

Too grim for commercial purposes.; 9/12/11, 9:03 AM

Another piece of rock icon news - apparently Bob Dylan has been touring China and doing a lot of drawing while he was there. Supposedly he's going to release those sketches.; 9/12/11, 9:03 AM
Shouting Thomas said...: Dylan news! Have I got Dylan news!

I slowly developed a friendly relationship with the old lady at the mall who cuts my hair.

She's a veteran of the groupie scene in the 60s in Woodstock. (I was in Chicago and San Francisco in those days.)

We do have quite a few mutual friends in the music biz.

She really warmed up to the subject of sex, drugs and rock and roll the last time I had my hair cut. She became particularly animated when the started discussing threesomes and The Band and Dylan! Dropping acid with Carlos Santana!

You got to remember that she's a pretty worn out old lady now with a bad back.

"I remember those days and the menage a trois!" she said dreamily.

"Hell," I replied. "In San Francisco, it was more like menage a dozen!"; 9/12/11, 9:08 AM
Shouting Thomas said...: Going for my bike ride, but I got to let you know about this.

Did you know that ladies of ill repute now troll Facebook looking for action and remuneration?

Got hit up by one today.; 9/12/11, 9:11 AM
kjbe said...: The last three weeks, I've had to put on my headlamp for my morning run to the gym. The neighborhood's pretty quiet at 5am. Anyway, about now, I usually hit my morning slump...thanks, it does help.; 9/12/11, 9:16 AM
AllenS said...: I'm working on leveling the ground and putting 2' x 4' boards in for the footings on the new building. Big sweat day. One thing that I love about being retired, I don't care what day it is.; 9/12/11, 9:18 AM
Fred4Pres said...: Shouting Thomas, you seem to get that a lot, both in Times Square hotels and now on line! (kidding!).

Okay, so how did you get propositioned on Facebook?; 9/12/11, 9:19 AM
kimsch said...: Fred,

I rented Godspell on Netflix (not available on streaming anymore) and had to watch that song several times in a row. The buildings were so new that they weren't even finished yet.; 9/12/11, 9:34 AM
Anonymous said...: Rockin' in the front seat, rockin' in the ba...crap. It's only Monday.; 9/12/11, 10:12 AM
Shouting Thomas said...: Hold the presses!

Dude is a lady!

Apparently, the trollop propositioning you on Facebook is the newest version of the Nigerian bank scam!; 9/12/11, 10:21 AM
