- cdrom library catalogs at the moment....
- when he got a big bonus for completing some megaproject, he went out and
- spent a big chunk of it on a new Fender bass.....so he can crank out some
- more tunes himself....
- well, he does LOOK like a normal geek.....
-
-
- and about 2300 yesterday while we were on phone....he left voice mail whil
- i was on local bbs playing scrabble.....his message was 'call and tell me
- about your loot'.....so i did.....
-
- anyhow, i told him about the msg to ruth and the rolling stone record
- guide and what a cool babe she was and she was about his age (hes 11/5/67
- for those who care)....and his question was "if she walks into a wall
- does her nose hit first?" and I said "absolutely NOT".....and he asked if
- Ruth wanted to move to chicago tomorrow......(meaning today).....and i said
- he'd have to handle that part for himself....
-
- the rest is now up to andy and ruth.....

- dan in potatoland, the porkpie cyclops....
