Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 10 Oct 08 - 04:23 PM Loan sharks or lone sharks? |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 10 Oct 08 - 04:40 PM Virgin sharks. Google it. You'll see - two virgin births. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 10 Oct 08 - 04:47 PM Well no matter how horny I was, I wouldn't get close to something with teeth like that. So I can understand it happening. XG |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Tinker Date: 14 Oct 08 - 07:51 AM Inquiring minds want to know ..... |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 14 Oct 08 - 08:11 AM Micca is in New Hampshire returning to Maine on Thursday in time for the Richard Thompson concert, then back to NH for the shanty sing then...hell, I don't know. I do find it unsettling to find his shoes under my bed, in the living room and occasionally in the kitchen. He seems to shed debris where ever he goes. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Oct 08 - 11:23 AM Yeah, that sounds like him. Check the debris.. it may not be as innocuous as it seems. LTS |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Jeri Date: 14 Oct 08 - 11:28 AM Oh, she checks EVERYTHING that's been on the floor for longer than 5 minutes. I've heard Micca's off on an adventure with Tom (curmudgeon). (I don't know if Batty's with them or if she's at work) I'll see them later today. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 14 Oct 08 - 11:47 AM That's because Alice is likely to pee on anything left on the floor not because I am compulsively neat. Doing Acorn, Jeri? |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: katlaughing Date: 14 Oct 08 - 11:51 AM Sins or Jeri, would you ask him to call me before Thursday, please? Or, let me know where I can reach him on my dime.:-) I've something I need to let him know. Thanks! |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Jeri Date: 14 Oct 08 - 01:33 PM I'll tell him if he doesn't see this message before then. Yes, SINS--Acorns, the restaurant for little nuts. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: ranger1 Date: 14 Oct 08 - 02:50 PM Jeri, didn't you once refer to me as a little nut? How come nobody invited me? Oh, hey, I like these ads on the bottom of the page! Mooning Garden Gnome: Surprise guests w/ some cheeky fun. SALE now only $13.95 Same Day Ship... I think I may have to investigate further... |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: katlaughing Date: 14 Oct 08 - 03:12 PM Thanks, Jeri. I'll be grandson-occupied from about 3p-515p my time, otherwise my time if FREE.:-) ranger1, the only ad I see if for the Grateful Dead!*hmmmm*:-) |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Bat Goddess Date: 14 Oct 08 - 03:59 PM Micca's in New Hampshire right now. Mary, have you recovered yet? By the way, we're all a little nuts... Linn |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Micca Date: 14 Oct 08 - 09:24 PM We Have returned from dinner at Acorns full of good wine and food and I called katlaughing today and all is spoken of. The food was, as usual, perfect, the wine was intriguing as they had only American reds, so we tried a Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon ,predictably the 2nd bottle was different (while appearing identical) to the first, but both were good Perfect food, perfect wine and perfect company, what more could I ask for? |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 15 Oct 08 - 08:29 AM Today, my husband and I will scoop him up and take him to Portsmoouth, NH, where hopefully we will find some seafood and good times! We're just going to run through our set list for Friday, Micca, and then we'll hit the road! |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 15 Oct 08 - 07:45 PM ...And a lovely time it was, too! We found the home of Curmudgeon and Bat Goddess, wherein we found Curmudgeon and Micca himself! We had a nice visit with Curmudgeon, then took Micca to Portsmouth for lunch at the "Rusty Hammer". Strolled around the park by thr river, chatted, sang, laughed, then back to the ranch to say our goodbyes. It's always so much fun to be with you, friend! |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Leadfingers Date: 15 Oct 08 - 08:09 PM He will be SO pleased to be back at W*** on Monday ! Teee Heee !!! |

No 2 It was a delight to meet you and Your Husband Hunt today, it was an experience I will cherish in the future, I know.

You are the BEST and I wish we had more time together, Much affection to you both, and of course my congratulations and felicitations on your Nuptials Your friend Micca |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: jacqui.c Date: 16 Oct 08 - 01:30 PM Where are you now sir? And what is happening tonight? Enquiring minds need to know. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Micca Date: 16 Oct 08 - 01:54 PM I am back in South Portland, I thought(taking into account the various Health issues (or should that be tissues)) we were dining on that boat in Portland tonight? |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 16 Oct 08 - 02:25 PM I thought you were hot on the trail of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Are you at my place? |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Micca Date: 16 Oct 08 - 02:50 PM Yes, Mary, and making Tea!! |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Fortunato Date: 16 Oct 08 - 04:28 PM What, still in the states, are you? The flowers you sent Susette are still beautiful on the dining room table. You out did yourself, Micca. Stellar. Sounds like you're being wined and dined and making music. Simply deluxe. cheers, chance |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 16 Oct 08 - 06:10 PM Here he is!! |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Oct 08 - 07:55 AM Micca and I went to dinner last night in the floating restaurant in Portland Harbour. Neither Mary or Kendall was able to join us - they both still have the remnants of the Getaway bug, so it was just two Brits with good food and wine and lots of chat. All in all a lovely evening. Thank you Micca. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 17 Oct 08 - 08:15 AM I hear you two have been banned from DeMillo's for conduct unbecoming a tourist. That's the last time you go out without a keeper. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Oct 08 - 08:18 AM You got it wrong Mary - they want to book us as entertainment next summer! |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Oct 08 - 09:07 AM No comment! XG |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: GUEST,SINSULL Date: 18 Oct 08 - 12:41 AM Just back from a Richard Thompson concert. Some loved it; some hated it. I thought I had died and gone to hell. Jacqui got the giggles...and I helped. We left halfway through but the rest of the crowd - Micca, Tom and Deborah, Tami and Jason stayed and enjoyed it. It looked to me like Peter Souza doing Elvis. Shenandoah was painfully priceless. "Shenando-YIP! Not sure who I confused him with - not a folk singer. To my left was Jacqui yawning loudly; to my left Micca sound asleep. I left. I'd have gone home but I was everyone's ride. BUT... the young fiddler who warmed up the crowd was very good. Bought her CD, Promised to send her a link to Mudcat and the Digitrad. She introduced "The Maid On The Shore" as collected in Maine. In person, she said it was a version found in Maine. Bright, talented lady. I thoroughly enjoyed her short set. Micca is off to brush his teeth and then to bed. He has been warned - Saturday I sleep until I wake up. No noise; no questions. Goodnight. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Oct 08 - 04:54 AM I'm with you re Richard Thompson, Sins. I find his stuff too loud, too self indulgent, and totally unlovable. He may have started off in folk music, but he's gone a long way down the road that leads to rock music. XG |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 18 Oct 08 - 07:01 AM to my left Micca sound asleep. There's a surprise.... he's fallen asleep in the Royal Albert Hall you know! Just to make sure, you're not back in the UK until Monday 20th? Having difficulty moving the bodies... LTS |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Oct 08 - 07:27 AM Can't they just keep him? |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: jacqui.c Date: 18 Oct 08 - 07:44 AM I told Mary - if there is one thing worse than teenage angst it's mid-life crisis angst. Too many twiddly guitar bits, showing off his expertise and the songs were more rock than folk for me. Very disappointing. As Mary said, the young lady who preceded him was excellent, an accomplished singer and musician. I'll be looking to get hold of her CD. The real before the concert, chez TRUBRIT's, was excellent. Tom is a real gem who seems to be able to feed large numbers of people with no fuss whatsoever. I guess that, like the swan, all the effort goes on below the surface, but the result is always a meal that attracts the chosen like moths to a flame. Even Kendall, who has not been well this past two weeks, made the effort to come over for the meal. Today it's the Press Room with Micca and, possibly, Mary, if she's out of bed and fit to go in time. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Cats Date: 18 Oct 08 - 11:03 AM But this year he isn't trying to find a cape for me!!! |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Bat Goddess Date: 18 Oct 08 - 02:15 PM Well, Linn won't be at The Press Room this afternoon. I'm still layed low and recovering from the Post-Getaway Crud and I wasn't even AT the Getaway! Must have picked it up at the soiree last weekend at the home of the Perle Mesta of Portland... If I had any energy (which I haven't) I'd fantasize about shaking seven different kinds of snot out of you all -- which, considering this particular malady, might happen spontaneously. Sorry, Alison! I was dead to the world the afternoon you and your beloved were here -- I DO look forward to meeting him someday when my head isn't full of large dry insects and my lungs and nasal passages aren't full of the above seven different varieties. My primary manager was prescient enough yesterday to realize I'd need another day plus my Sunday day off to recover and be more or less healthy for next week and so booked someone else to cover for me today. However I just got a call from my OTHER manager (geez, this flitting between two optical shops is making me dizzy) saying she's sending the optech there home sick this afternoon -- could I possibly cover for her tomorrow? Uh uh -- not if she wants me there on Monday, which is HER day off. Ah well, this too will pass. I think this is the third, possibly the fourth, Press Room Shanty Sing I've missed in the past five years since it started. Micca, take care of yourself! (Everybody else, too!) Linn |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 18 Oct 08 - 07:16 PM Me too, Linn. It has been almost two weeks and I am still pushing and pulling revolting crtap from my nose and throat. Meantime, Micca (who is also sniffling) is on his way to the Press Room with Mrs. Morse.I am planted in front of the teli and computer with brain in neutral. And who is responsible for the abundance of glow-in-the-dark religious icons, tiny penguins and teeny nuns taht are taking over my home? Where did the teeny tiny hand painted creche come from/ I am considering a new Year's bonfire with all that toxic plastic burning. Are the glow in the dark ones radioactive? |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Oct 08 - 07:29 PM Yup, tritium usually. Never mind Mary, if ya gotta glow, ya gotta glow ! Hee hee XG |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Jeri Date: 18 Oct 08 - 07:36 PM 'On his way' ... ?! He's been there for hours. I came home early. My heat came on in the wee hours and my nose is stuffy, my throat's screwed up and my voice was fading. I also was falling asleep--don't know why. I don't have a virus though. The environment hates me. Micca was singing his heart out happily, but I think Jacqui was stoically holding on to consciousness with her teeth and fingernails. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Oct 08 - 07:47 PM His singing does that to me too, Jeri ¦¬] |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 18 Oct 08 - 09:26 PM Giok, I do believe you are jealous of our travelling Brit. I hope Jacqui is conscious - she's driving. She and I misbehaved badly at the Richard Thompson concert. It suddenly dawned on me that I was expecting Richard Farina - and he has been dead for forty years. Sigh - all that angst and claptrap. It was pure torture. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 Oct 08 - 04:54 AM Nah mate, he has nothing I want, just winding him up, as always. Many Americans never quite get this aspect of British humour. XG |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 19 Oct 08 - 09:39 AM Yes we do...lol Micca is currently wandering around my house picking up bits and pieces of his life that are scattered around here. So far he has managed to retrieve the critical stuff - his camera, computer, glasses, etc. Tomorrow I will find the rest and mail it off to him. Shall I pin a sign to his jacket: This is Micca. If found please return him to Liz the Squeak in London? |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Tinker Date: 19 Oct 08 - 12:58 PM Could you remind him I need his new address to post the jacket he left here. Bubba seems to have taken a liking to it, so I'll run it through the wash first. Tinker |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: jacqui.c Date: 19 Oct 08 - 01:04 PM Tink - I've PMd you the address. |
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 19 Oct 08 - 09:00 PM I put him on the bus to Boston. Micca was looking forward to the VIP lounge at Delta Airlines, Boston. He should be mid-air now. I. as the old song says, will put his little shoes away. Yeah - he left them behind. |
