Hey guys!! Just a warning, but it's armadillo season again. I just ran over one on the highway and totaled my car. (they jump out in front of cars on the highway for fun. It's a kind of 'game' for them. They don't get hurt, since they are made out of tank) But my misfortune can be your 'infortune'; like the day I invented that word... So WATCH OUT.
Armadillos are like motorcycles: they're everywhere!! I'll remind you again next year, but after that, you're on your own!! Good luck!!

I never actually got a fake ID; I didn't need one. My plan was to grow a full beard at 12 to get myself into the Downtown blues bar that Lowell once offered.... And remember back then when I was on TV?!?

Hi Sam! We knew Spring was here the day Frank ran over a giant skunk. I'm heading to the Plough Sunday for Scott's bday celebration.
I hope you guys can make it!

Yes 2 am is a great time for TV. I usually get home between 2 am and 6 am so I know all about all night infomercials, etc. Still hooked on the Shamwow cloth, magic putty and the silver bullet mixer. Have a nice swim in your pool. Kisses.

So unfortunately my plans for a fundraiser with live music fell through. I had the hardest time finding anywhere that would even call me back about holding it.

Well I hope that maybe you and Peter, and anybody else you'd like to bring along will be able to make it next week to McFaddens.
I'd love to see you!
Pete

Sox game sounds like a wicked excellent idea. Mondays and Tuesdays are often best for me. Toss me some dates and let's try to get tickets. (Might have to mortgage the farm for that...)

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the kind words, it really means a lot. I took a listen to your music and I think it is wonderful. Very good vibe, great song writing and instrumentation and I enjoyed your vocals. I especially liked "Mr. Tragedy" good song.
