my cat brandy spilled water all over my phone and it died. i'm getting a new one on may first when my upgrade comes through. if you need to get in touch you can email me or send me a smoke signal or a carrier pigeon. i will have the same phone number on the new phone but no contacts so call me on thursday so have your number.
Joe!!! I need spiritual counseling..I'm feeling lipid (did I use it right?) and your phone number, and a salad, working tonight and tomorrow...come visit me!!!
I somehow ended up with a piano from 1914, here in my front room. I guess it's time for it to be all about music, so, if you ever set this way, again, lend us your talents, here in this livingroom. Cake.
