I wonder if you have the full-blown flu, Wes. No CO on the monitor?
Yes that particular arrangement with the strings you posted does have a beautiful old sound, don't know how to describe it, you say noir and melancholy, I would say Sad, but beautiful. That arrangement reminds me of ebb tide, and even christmastime is here is similar sound.

Can't be flu as I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. CO is saying 0ppm. Even got 2 new smoke/CO alarms delivered today. Can't be that.

Had a good sleep this morning and feeling bit better now. Hopefully go back to work tomorrow. Thanks for the concern, you are a sweetie.

I think because of the polishing aspect... that and profit margin! How are you Lisa?

By the way, my school is closed for the afternoon! They cut the water and we had to leave for the rest of the day for hygenic reasons...talk about a bummer when I'm in the middle of an exam!

Well, with my new job and grad school, I've been busier than a one-legged man in an @$$-kicking contest, so I'm not online for fun very much anymore, but usually pop into AJ's a couple times a week. Haven't had a chance to catch up with you in a long time, so I wanted to say hello!

How's the fam and homestead and life?

I could shoot some remarks back, but I like to think I'm bigger than that.

And as we know Carl has a very sensitive side.

This is Carl, the last time someone commented on his dress sense.

I told you I had something in my eye...right when somebody was commenting on my dress sense (or lack thereof...)...funny coincidence, isn't it?

Wes, we all know you are a die hard Dawson Creek's fan but was it really necessary to set such a ringtone to your phone?

I think this is Carl secretly wishing that I play the Dawson Creek theme tune for him.

What's your job and what kind of grad school? Sounds like your life has taken a new direction!

How is your son? Big and tall by now, I'm sure!

My three are just fine. 7th grade, 4th, and kindergarten. P is bigger than me and J is not far behind.

Forgive me Wes, we can't just laugh at each other every single day without wishing each other a very happy birthday when the time comes!

Many happy returns my friend! Enjoy it, you deserve it.
