Monkeys, marshmallows and sausage....what a treat. Thanks!

JeffM gave me a huge package of red Twizzlers and a gigantic Cadbury chocolate bar he'd brought back for me from England last week. My nuclear family gave me The Famous Blue Raincoat/ L. Cohen songs by Jennifer Warnes, and season 6 DVD of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (We already have seasons 1 to 5).

Seems like everybody in my life has good taste.

The music last night at the Flying Cloud Folk Club was wonderful. Old Thyme music - James Leva and Camp Mountain. Erin Marshall and Chris Coole opened for them - Erin told me she'll teach me Appalachian drone fiddle. Cool!!!

May everyone's fiftyfirsts be so blessedly fine,
