Get R Done!


Just got back from NC on a 12 hour Amtrak ride which was supposed to be 9-ish.
I'm not gonna go into the shennigans (ok, we murdered three deer and nearly derailed, which is not Amtrak's fault, but the 1 1/2 hour layover in Rocky Mount while we waited for the replacement crew to SHOW UP, clearly is) but Amtrak is ghetto in a capitol "!!!" kinda way...

While you wait, you can get beer. You can talk to all sorts of people from all sorts of walks of life, whether you want to or not. You can witness bona fide child abuse! You can wonder what you are going to do with three of the four toilets are "out of order."

It's awesome!

But not as awesome as the song that kept going through my head and literally got me home:

"Comes a time when you're driftin'
Comes a time when you settle down
Comes a light feelin's liftin'
Lift that baby right up off the ground.

Oh, this old world keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down
There comes a time.

You and I we were captured
We took our souls and we flew away
We were right we were giving
That's how we kept what we gave away.

Oh, this old world keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down
There comes a time."

The more than brilliant NEIL YOUNG, who is bringing FARM AID to NYC for the first time ever! See ya there?
(No babies here, Neil, but thanks, man!)

My joint project with Michael Bierman from a couple of years ago - DEMOLITION DERBY.

We gotta do more of that, Michael...
