Darn. I didn't buy one.

About 30 inches of snow between Friday midnight and Wednesday PM. This morning Ms. Sagegrouse reported her car thermometer was registering -22 F.

Roger is still my favorite lead singer of all time, but I think the Stones are the best band. Every member of the Stones seems to give something up/tone it down a hair for the good of the song. Despite Mick's "flash" he is a pretty subdued singer a lot of the time. Charlie dumbs down his playing for the benefit of the tune.
Never thought Zep was much of a "band". Greatest drummer ever. Very good guitar player. Singer too androgynous. But not as tight as the best bands.
In more recent times, Rage is the best band I have seen. Super tight. Insanely good live show.
Off until 7 AM on 12/27. Woo-Hoo!
The Who > The Stones. There, I said it.
Even if we say that the singer and lead guitarists are about equal, and that both bands were extremely prolific with staying-power songs, you have John Entwistle and Keith Moon compared to Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. I like Charlie, but that's not a close comparison of rhythm sections.
The world didn't end, I'm free from holding back on opinions now. If only I could fit them under 140 characters. #Twitterbomb #hashtag #offthechizain #wayconfused #needdecaf #soybomb
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!
May Santa bring everyone more than they deserve (especially me).
Happy New Year! I hope 2013 is full of joy and pleasant surprises for everyone - as well as lots of Duke victories!
According to my wife, I am almost perfect!
She says she can only find two things wrong with me:
1) Everything I say
2) Everything I do
Well, either she stole it from him, or he stole it from her, in which case I think my wife may be due some royalties.
Seriously, I did not know Mike Cross was still around. I had not heard anything about him since I moved from Durham to Atlanta in the early 80's. Still have the "Bounty Hunter" album filed away somewhere in my basement. Might have to dig it out.
I really thought things might be getting better between my wife and me, and that she was getting more romantic.
I overheard her phone conversation with a friend, where my wife was saying she was planning on taking me out. It was only later in the conversation that I discovered she was talking about using her new Glock 9 mm.

You tried so hard to kill me, woman it just was not my time.

You put poison in my coffee, instead of milk or cream.
You're the meanest woman, that I ever seen.

Then you sit back and watch me, hopin that I would die."

Went to Duke-Wake game Saturday. Great getting back! Shot pic of my old room in house G for my old freshman roommate (1959). (Outside shot, of course). Lots of things have changed but not the view around there.
Boy, is this picture gonna turn loose some memories in Charlie!! ....:):)
Not to take this thread off-off topic, but what's with the horse on the front page? Is there a Duke connection I am missing?
