2009 is a lot of planes, how many did they build last year?

"You are taking pot shots at the messenger, again", she scolded.

"I'm sorry, it's just..."

"I know."

"I am just using your intelligence and sensitivity as a sounding board so that when I take this to the web, it is valid and has a sliver of credibility."

"It is and it does. But please don't point that finger at me and twist the volume knob to 10 because it makes me feel like I AM THE ISSUE."

"Oh Jesus, I am so sorry, you know I don't mean that. I just get carried away sometimes, and..."

"I understand, and it's OK. Maybe you should think about trying to share instead of trying to sell. Maybe that would soften the tone enough to get the message across without alienating the undecided or ill informed. "

"Do I do that?"

"Sometimes."

"Sometimes?"

"Most times."

His hands cradled his head as it slowly rocked east and then west.

"At least I'm not as bad as those assholes from the Warner Music Group."

"No-one is darling."

Don't Worry

Some good stuff here:

OK, so I think I need to post an addendum. Here are the FIVE things that make me happy at this tenuous juncture in the time/space/energy continuum known as my life. Please feel free to add your own (so maybe we might mix and match).

1) Spinning
2) Video
3) The hope and challenge of tomorrow
4) Music (in myriad forms)
5) Knowing that I am responsible for my own happiness.

Your turn. Comments tab below. Let the happiness fall like raindrops.

Post Chilly

We made the front page of the P.I. More photos here: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/

Congrats to all who traversed our 33 famous miles.
Greg's wrap up Mardi Gras bash was a blast, and,
looks like WMG (Warner Music Group) has silenced yet another of my videos due to me trying to promote one of "their" acts. So I am re-cutting ToC III with an altogether new track. This is such a disservice to artists and the GP. Even the suits lose as, like many things, there are other choices. You'll now get Santana and the Stone Coyotes. Tomorrow.

ToC III

Without further adieu, then:

ToC II

Part Two of the ToC Trilogy (Return of the King of the Mountain). There is some fun stuff here. Music is When Water Comes to Life by Cloud Cult, Body Snatchers by Radiohead and Blue Jean Pizza by moe. Part Three is in the can and rendering so it'll be up even earlier than promised (I have no life). Tomorrow we ride the 37th Chilly Hilly and then go to Greg's for some Mardi Gras festivities. If you are too tired from the ride, not to worry tires are optional. It is also the One Year Anniversary of the RCVman Blog. I will tally up the postings later, even though the initial goal was to do one a day. Never knew what I was getting into. So please my friends, today, tonight, tomorrow and on into March, let us all...enjoy the ride.
