g’evening pups – how’s everyone tonight?

Nice one, Suz!

still tryin’ to remember the steps to the Zedarooni.

I am *so* white.

Another perfect dive for Suzanne.

I had a great day. Took a big walk with Ron, Wally and Suki on the A. River, got most of an open book test done, when to the community veggie garden and got wonderous goodies, and had an overall great time.

thanks newton – busted had sent me a very informative tex avery link…. i ended up thinking this was perfect for the punsters at the lake.

hey jayt

what didja get?

Fresh eggs. Even met the chickens. Vary squash, radishes, lettuce, greens, red cabbage, strawberries, blackberries, and one lemon.

Click on my Facebook f and you can see some pictures of my parents in the early fifties. They were soooooooo cool.

Hiya Suze & Pups! I’m limping through on my way to bed. Although i’m limping less than i was, thanks to seeing a physical therapist for piriformis syndrome. Life is literally a pain in the ass these days.

oooooooh sounds yummy. i got the flier in the mail today that the farmers market starts up here two weeks from today (the 13th). can’t wait to get fresh again.

hey ndfg

oh noz! how terrible – going from one pain in the ass to another (ducking)

No fun and no fair.

Funny though.

epu’d (as if anyone cares)

I’ll try to hang – got a bunch of trial prep to do tomorrow…

(oh – who am I trying to kid – I do ‘em by the seat of my pants anyway)

One of these days – really – I’m gonna get good and prepared – really.

Maybe.

No – really.

Maybe.

In the meantime, Jeff Healey was pretty damned good:

hey hey hey

sweet ear candy jayt

JesuChristo – whatever ya do – don’t click on my “f” – I can’t get it to change….

jay t – you could always delete the picture

heh, believe me, i’ve thought of that frequently! *g*

katy, my mom is loving surprise. and the welcoming rain – she keeps saying she did not get any while living in palm springs and it was such a welcome change.

We’re getting fist sized strawberries. Must be all the rain.
Mostly hollow and not particularly good, but BIG.

i couldn’t resist – and heat helps when my sciatica is reminding me of its existence

jay t – you could always delete the picture

have I ever mentioned that in a lot of areas, I’m a complete idiot?

hey sunny – yikes – whipped cream and/or chocolate should help em along

noooooooo.

hi Suz, hi all. Great, thanks! How are you?

yeah, heat helps me. I am very lucky that it is not true sciatica because piriformis should respond to physical therapy, and it does seem to be helping me with only one session so far and 3 days of streching exercises.

hey margot – how’s ohio tonight?

S’true.

For example, my mother, to this day, will not tell me what my official IQ score was. But then I got curious, and took every online test that I could find.

Every single one of them had this portion where you have to unscramble a bunch of letters to to find the word. I can’t do that – so my score gets screwed on every test. Still – there was one number that kept popping up.

Shit – if I could un-scramble letters, I could —- I dunno, write as stupidly as I do now?

If metal weren’t so high, we could bronze em like baby shoes.

too bad they don’t dry well – ya could do a strawberry braid

AND, by the way, where’s doodle?

the birthday girl, NOT showing up for live nude drunk-blogging?

was tonight doodles bday?

weather doodette said that we have hit 70 or above for 11 consecutive days – breaking a 12 year record for may. of course that was portland and not here at the coast but still, tis nice

HI folks back from a caz outdoor movie event preceding thr Jazz festival here in Baywood tommorow. Chris Botti concert at the Wilshire with full orchestra and vocals from Gadys Knight Sting and other voices. Botti plays the trumpet that Gabriel would envy. To incredible.

wangdang’s b’day was wednesday, so she had to celebrate last weekend AND this weekend *g*

hey bb – how kewl

Interesting because down here it has been hot and cool. We had that heat wave last week. This week it is going to be in the high 70’s a nd low 80’s.

and here i thought that I was the only one to do that trick… *g*

hahahaha jen the bride (can you believe their anniversary is sunday) stretched hers out one year for 3 weeks.

I know what you mean. I would be so smart if for the fact that I amn’t.

one year for jen the bride? no way! (congrats to them for the anniversary!)

as for b’days, a dear little old lady neighbor of mine who was in her nineties at the time said that the older you get, the longer you should celebrate your birthday! She celebrated hers for a full month. But her celebrating was a bit more sedate *g*

anyone have summer vacation plans this year?

i know – looking back it seems as if it was only a little while ago. and so much has changed from a year ago – who wudda thought we would all end up in oregon (just in different towns).

. I would be so smart if for the fact that I amn’t.

We all are.

I can’t fix a plumbing problem, but I can seriously fuck with a Supreme Court.

And with what I consider to be the best rock’n’roll song of all time, I bid y’all a fine evening. Ta.

g’nite jayt

Where is that brandy snifter…

http://vodpod.com/watch/164898…..n-coltrane

Some tornadoes were spotted and I hope everyone will be safe. Not near me at all, yet anyway. It is really cool for this time of year, very odd.

no list of best rock and roll songs is complete without this one

weather is strange all over margot. i fear our predictable weather patterns are a thing of the past – just like our transitor radios.

or teevees with just three channels.

Here are a few tunes from this OIregonians web site

nite guys.
Slipping out before emerson produces the single malt.

g’nite sunny

the pbs show aired up here last nite (or was it the nite before). i had it on low since i was paying attention here at the lake – thanks bb.

Wow. and yum.

He does ” If I give my heart to you would you handle it with care…would you always be true and in every way be fair”… if you like romance nice stuff.

and teevees had remotes but they were called children

I want to get rid of our teevee. Ron doesn’t. Having no teevee opens up my world.

Seeking Winterthur ………. Christine.

I have to go get some of those strawberries. Be right back.

There has never been a saxophone that sounded like this

http://vodpod.com/watch/125119…..t-you-1962

Coirvoisier?

i like having the background noise they provide. of course i don’t watch much network tv.

hey emerson – nice tunage for a sat nite

No TV is like freedom to read do art, blog, garden, get out and do. The “Sports” hook the fan into a couch potato existence.
Turn off the TV and turn on your life while you still have one.

hey plovering – she was around earlier…

Mary, I remember when “the educational channel” came on the air. Woo hoo!

Thanks for the update.

I’m hoping to hear from her.

Lots of tasty stuff to talk about.

I turned the teevee off when my kids were teenagers. The fighting was cut by 60%.

my mom would threaten to turn off the teevee … an effective way of getting an immediate (albeit temporary) inprovement in behavior from us 3 kids.

Really that is interesting…reducing violence…now that is very kewl,
Hmm maybe TV is the underlying psychological motivation to approve war it?

“anyone have summer vacation plans this year?”
Just got bsck from Mulege Baja Mexico no need to travel just Google Earth and you can get a better look than those there.I decided I did not need to be there.,,glad I went…will have another trip soon.

*laughing* i spend a lotta time on google earth – sure helped me pin down the where of where do i wanna be

Hi Suz & pups. Whilesome think the difference between Coltrane & Bird is your mood

http://vodpod.com/watch/14628-…..-celebrity

A friends father has a home there and she likes it in August after the American tourist leave when it is hot hot hot.
Don Johnson has a Saturday barbecue their…so
I went to Puerto Vayarta the summer of 1968 Olympics…Gringo Gulch where Gurton/Taylor and friends hung out..”Night of the Iguana” was filmed///before the corporatist “developed it”.
I am not looking for Paradise I am creating it.

i know my mood is so tied what music i want to listen to. sometimes i want that hard driving bass line and other times i need to be soothed by the melody

my mom and sister are among those in my family who like it when it is hot hot hot.

me, not so much.

I am the same way. I think it’s odd (but maybe it’s not) that I usually go right from jazz to classical and vice versa. Maybe it’s the lack of lyric generally, but the raw emotion of the music alone and the conversation between the instruments does take me to a higher, more synchronized place.

Nice, BB. Like Botti alot. Would like to see him with a full orchestra.

i think most people are. music is so connected to something deep inside us – it can reflect what is inside or transform

It sure is connected in me. If I were to become totally deaf, I think that’d be it for me.

hey that guy

Music describes the humanity in us…it engages that part of our limbic system and make us flow biologically with out endocrine systems.
Our humanity is special and those that step outside…
Obama was supposed ti leave his flip flops in Hawaii…instead he brought the Waffle iron of change but uses the same old Bushco waffle batter.
(had to get that expressed after the detention forever stuff this week)

His tour schedule is on his website…I bet they go crazy when he comes back home to Oregon..I cannot imagine playing with Andrea Bocelli.

bb, I was in Mexico City in ‘68 too, on a Girl Scout trip.

you’d just have to Beethoven it, that guy.

Joan Baez anti war banner “Girls say yes to boys who say no.” Do you remember?

How you is, Suze?

Wow that must have been some experience for a kid, The “Federales’ were everywhere expecting anti war protests.

You play BB?

i b fair to middlin that guy. tonight reminds me of those long ago summer nights when those still awake were softly chatting around the campfire.

I have a hearing disability…cannot block out background sounds. I was a dance teacher for 10 years and am passionate about music. I am also dislexic somewhat sot the commands get discombobulated.
I put musicians on the pedestal they richly deserve. I guess I could drum a bit. You a musician?

Suz you have five months of nice coastal weather coming your way. Get out the summer clothes and enjoy.

was fogged in from about 4pm yesterday to around 7ish tonight. ended up in a turtleneck today. tomorrow should be nicer tho.

I don’t remember that. Do remember taking the train from Juarez all the way down. Fantastic. I could happily have lived on that train.
Floating gardens, Chapultapec, Chichen Itza, Emperor Maximilliano’s golden bicycle, children selling chicle, pyramids, archeology museum, our dear scout leader calling the police after we got flashed by a man as she was getting directions…

Funny, I’ve been around musicians my whole life, but never picked anything up. Always sang with friends’bands when they let me. Love saxophone, but don’t seem to have the dexterity.

Emerson..I have lots of tunes in my head and my heart. The Beatles and Baez were an overlay on top of Latin dance rythms that were so fun to enjoy in LA night life in the 50/60s…then the explosions in the Bay area on top of the British invasion. 1968-70 in SF and Marin County and Berkeley had so much great new sounds…it was real explosion of culture growth that fed itself. I was in SF for the Beat generation in the mid fifties when ideas were flooding bookstores and coffee houses…they all shared the wealth unlike the grinches of Wall Street who specializes in stealing rather than creating.

Sounds like your Scout leader made it a great experience the train is the way to go no potholes etc

Fog is soft on the ears and eyes usually no wind do you get a burn off in the afternoon?

it burned off early evening – around 7pmish – so i had blue skies for a wee bit until sunset

time for me to head off pups.

g’nite all

That’s the era I really wanted to be in SF! Came out here in 1982, but the romance of the Beats was nowhere to be found. Growing up 15 miles from Manhattan, it was a cultural amusement park. My first outdoor concert was Chicago in Central Park in 7th grade. We took the bus into the City. I’m sure all the museums had something to do with me getting into the art industry.

I too was right in the middle of the British invasion on the other coast. Great days. John Lennon is still a hero to this day.

g’nite, Suzanne. Thank you.

I missed the 50’s in SF . . . overseas, and a child.

But City Lights, And Hungry I . . . are legendary.

The 60’s now, I was on The Peninsula and from ‘64 thru was at the scene of the musical crimes (older sister dragged me along early on). I was driving and clubbing at 16 in ‘69.

Fantastic times, incredible times. A short flash, and it was gone, but SF made music long before, and long after, too.

The City. *G*

Hi Suz . . . great toon . . . and to you jhazz phreaks, one can’t have The Trane without The Yardbird.

They go together like all the 50’s jhazz . . . . wedded yet single.

Music. It moves us. One way or another, it gets to us, and moves us.

Cycles per second to our ears . . . ever since banging on a log.

It’s communication. We humans cannot, not, communicate.

We is inately, inherently, ultimately. Social Beings.

No matter what our differences . . . we cannot, not, communicate.

*wavestoall*

Love this thread, yet, once, again . . . must be the, must be the, must be the Season, Of The Suz (cue wah pedal). *G*

thank you All and g nite.

pretty good band I’d say

Must be
