How about 1968? February 8 was a Thursday that year.

i was tjust thinking that I'd love to have a print of the original "window" to frame. Do you have it? maybe something that others would like - sell them and put the $ in the bank for our next reunion. We'd probably have to get Markley's permission.
just a thought.....we must make sure we get togehter next year!
I'll help get a party organized

**stnfrnt** · July-17-11, 10:16 AM

....we most certainly would have to get markley's permission....and I'm sure there are some copyright issues involved also....i think it's a great idea, except if i sold some of my songs, i would want to keep the money myself....unless i offered one up as a donation....i don't know if gleeman would be up for doing that, and that's totally understandable.....meanwhile, have you "earthquaked" your new computer yet?....

**stnfrnt** · July-17-11, 10:18 AM

Kathleen.....Wow! Thanks for the heads up. Good to have you onboard.

**ruth** · July-17-11, 12:16 PM

Computer problems continue to plague us. Bruce's main computer crashed too. He's having a new one set up now. His book has been saved MANY places to that's not a problem but still.....
My home computer and laptop are having "issues" and I'm still adjusting to the new one at work. We are SO tied now to computers - can hardly rememeber life without one - and now I have 3!

Hi Kathleen! Welcome aboard.

Hey Gash...lookin` for a few burnout hippies eh? I`ll admit to that... I don`t remember any flying whiskey bottles but I do remember a flying wine bottle....or maybe it was a wine bottle that had us all flyin`...

**ruth** · July-17-11, 06:06 PM

it was that wine bottle with all those little pills in it..........

**stnfrnt** · July-17-11, 09:03 PM

hey...you guys talkin' 'bout Breeze?...

I think I threw an empty wine bottle at highhat, once.....from the second floor french ballroom window in the master bedroom...crashing after a 4 day crank run and hh started practicing his drums down in the ballroom...that didn't work for me...it was a helluva' long throw...didn't come close....i felt bad about doing that til i fell asleep a minute later...40+ years later i'd like to apologize to highhat.....it was a lousy throw.....

**gash** · July-17-11, 09:45 PM

Now this kinda stuff is what I'm talkin bout........Could use a little Bush Mark with a splash of Hoover......Maybe Markley could paint somethng, or Collier capture the moment..........Any way, it's kind nice over here......Think I'll lay around the shanty mamma, and put a good buzz on...........................GDGT

**highhat** · July-17-11, 11:13 PM

1/2 gal of electric Spanada...Joe and I combined resources and Viola`...Gus even remembers that one[[so what does that tell ya)... Stnfrnt- it crashed off the front of Eddie`s ride toms - time to go. I started giggin` with another band the following week. All in all tho,I wouldn`t trade my Gar Wood experience.[[Well,maybe a couple of Top Ten hit records might be worthy)...

**stnfrnt** · July-18-11, 09:32 AM

...when the space shuttle lands, everybody wear ape costumes...pass it on....

**stnfrnt** · July-18-11, 09:41 AM

...highhat...you were a damn good little drummer, and i was a major asshole then, and three or four days of crankin' along sorta' made me a little "edgy" at times....hope you can forgive me....

**highhat** · July-18-11, 12:21 PM

We wouldn`t be havin` this conversation if I hadn`t...thanx Big Guy...

**stnfrnt** · July-19-11, 09:53 AM

hey ruth.....i heard that if you keep going deep into some of those porno sites, that they can create some issues with your home and laptop computer.....just a little heads up for you....

**stnfrnt** · July-21-11, 10:22 AM

....free music downloads are the worst, though.....maybe if you guys could get a break from that horrible heat thing going on back there then things would settle down on several different levels....sure hope so...

**stnfrnt** · July-23-11, 02:25 AM

.....hey ruth....are you pissed at me......again!....

**ruth** · July-23-11, 06:35 AM

Hey - not pissed at all! Too busy looking for those porno site you mentioned! NOT

Trying to study for GREs - gotta take them again for another PhD program. The program I've been working toward has been cancelled because they lost 4 faculty members. So I'm applying to the history department. They have finally agreed to let me apply as a part-time student but it means I have to go through the full application process which means taking the GREs - the scores from 10 years ago don't count. CRAP!. GRE's are a bitch! So my "light summer readeing" has turned into GRE practice tests and study guides.
The worst part of it is that the one faculty member I wanted to oversee my work is one that has left. That's really bad news - but he has agreed to work with me - he just can't officially oversee my program.

And I have to show proficiancy in a second language so I'm working on my French too. Parlez-vous "shoot me now?"

Well now, meanwhile back at ranch reality. Alaska was better this time, with at least 3 pods of humpbacks and the full grown Salmon were as thick as a school of minnows next to the ship. Always the best is getting back home with a fine welcome home reception from Homegirl. She was anxious to hear all about her relatives. But, she was happy to hear how much the residents of Alaska dislike Sarah Palin. For instance, You all may have seen the photo that Penny posted on facebook of the bumper sticker that read " Sarah Palin eats poop ". Well its off to Red Rocks to see Buddy Guy and Steve Miller. Later, Ya'll.
