Didn't he just, Janie - he should consider that as his normal mode of dress. The colour really suited him.

"I admire a fellow sure enough of his masculinity to wear baby blue." Absolutely. Plus, when matched with a soft and comfy sweater, it really brings out the highlights in my eyes.

Missed ya this year, Mick. At first, we were all highly disappointed you cancelled, but we gradually got over it. Not to mention the fact that spirits stockpile took a lighter hit without yer Irish arse around.

Yeah--we saved so much on booze from yer not being there, we were able to make deductible charitable contributions to the West River HEavy Equipment Operator's Union entertainment and forgetfulness fund. Needless to say we expect to get our reward in Heaven or someplace comparable.

OK, we have Mick's promise to wear baby blue jammies with feet in them (and a flap in the back?) next year. (did he say anything about the bunny ears?)

I assume he means at the concert.

Note to self. By video camera before 2010 Getaway.

Besides, Mick, the sales of this recent CD to your Getaway friends next year hopefully will help cover much-needed expenses for recording the next one. You are in the enviable position of not only having a valid excuse for missing this past Getaway (The Big Mick's-down?), but also having lots of people willing to PAY to hear said excuse, as opposed to the "I don't wanna hear it!"s all the other non-but-should've-been-attendees get in response to THEIR abscences.

So bring those stacks of Conklin Celi Band CDs to the universal shouts of

HAIL THE CONKLIN HERO!

....but ATTEND!

As Martha & The Vandellas (after living up to their band name by spray-painting slogans on the studio walls) sang:

"It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there....."

Your rabitt following will be waiting for you to get off your Buns and get the Hell out hare!

It's pinned to the outside wall as a deterrent to door to door salesmen and others of the ilk. If that doesn't work I send Kendall out to deal with them.

I wanted to tell you all how much I liked the Getaway weekend. I'm Phil's dog and I never go anywhere without him. He lost his daughter last April, and I was her dog so I have to keep an eye on him, you see.Maybe I'll sing for you next year (I absolutely love police sirens!). Anyway, you all smelled terrific and I had a wonderful time!! Cooper Thibodeaux Fox

Hey there, Cooper -- pleased to meet you! Are you part blue heeler? If you ever want to tell us about your late mistress, we'd be pleased to hear about her. In the meantime, I'd just like to say that although I'm not generally a dog person, I make exceptions food good'uns, and you seemed like a good'un to me.

Reading back over my post, that should have read:

It's hard to type correctly when you've got paws, as I am sure you know all too well.
