Sorry for the loss of your friend, Eric.  Take care.

a good kid who I've known for a long time, but became a friend and not just an acquaintence this summer was found dead in his bed yesterday. he was into some less than healthy shit, but this was basically the last thing I thought I'd hear this morning when I woke up today.

That is awful man.  Hang in there.

Forgot to send in my driver's license renewal. I've been driving with an expired license since November 11 and I have to wait a week for my camera card to come in the mail.

No power.  No school.  No work for me.  Wife going in.  Home w/3 daughters who think fun requires electricity.  3 yr old wonders why she can't flush the potty when Mommy and Daddy are constantly reminding her to.  Good news - Omnichords can use batteries.  Bad news - iPhone battery below 20%.

hang in there john. this too shall pass and my guess is you will be getting enough electricity next week to keep the power going for a long time .....

Art or fort building might be a good activity for the girls. Or you can do what I do when the kids complain about being bored. Make them clean something. I hope you have a fire!

Appreciate the advice.  Once the sun was up, homework got done.  Then we headed 30 min. drive to Concord, as our whole town was out and Daddy needed coffee!!!  Just got back and power is restored.  What a weird day.

Great! And now you can enjoy the rest of your day off! Weather related school closings are the best type of free day!

I would really love nothing more in this moment than to punch my sister's asshole of a boss in the face.  He is REALLY screwing up our plans for MSG next week!  >:(

I'd go alone. My husband and I do this frequently. It's her loss if she doesn't go. Also, this sounds quite a bit like passive/aggressive control. You might have a much better time without her there. In my marriage, we both have things we like to do that the other one loathes: I like to go to concerts; he likes to go to ballgames. I always regret bringing him with me when I go to a concert so I've learned to either go with a friend or go alone. Also, with three kids, it makes it much easier on the child care situation. When we get back together, we have a great story to tell the other one and we are the happier for it. It actually is one of the things that make our marriage work. We like to things together too, but sometimes we just need to go do things for ourselves. It sounds like a twenty year friendship might be one of those things that you need for yourself. Don't make excuses for her. Just say that she wanted to stay home on New Years. Your friends will get it.

I feel kind of lucky that my wife and I share in a LOT of common interests.  We both love to go to shows and she shares in the likes of bands I listen to (for the most part  ;) ) so that is always nice.  And she is also into going to ballgames with me as well.  We usually make a couple of trips to Ann Arbor every year to take in a Michigan football game or, like this year, we went to Chicago to see Michigan play at Northwestern.  And she also doesn't hold me back if there is a show I really want to go to but it's on a school night or something.

That's great! I would love it if my husband shared my love of live music, but he doesn't. I like that we each have our own interests, but sometimes trying to hunt someone else down to go with can be a pain. However, it would also be a pain to hunt down childcare every time one of us wanted to go somewhere. And we do have things that we like to do together; we just don't do everything together.

Both of our parents live close-by so it's pretty easy to land child-care as we don't have to twist the grandparents' arm too much usually...  8)

I don't know whether to call it a complaint or a confusion or a what..... but a guy I grew up with since our mothers were pregnant with us at the same time has been missing since last Tuesday, Dec. 6, from the String Cheese Incident show..... His name's Jimmy Slack.  No contact with him has been made by anyone since 3am after the show, after he'd been drinking, that said he was "still partying" and didn't know where he was.  His phone was tracked to New Kensington, just north of Pittsburgh.  If any Pittsburgh people have any inkling or knowledge of where he might be, please be in touch as soon as physically possible, or sooner......

He apparently missed his niece's birthday the other day, which his sister said is just so highly unlike him, he's a real family guy........

Get back home, where you belong...
Don't you run off, no more.....

Sending some good vibes your way Woody. :-*  Hope your friend turns up safe, and was just off on a bender.

Thanks very much Eric!  I've been hoping so too... at the Xmas jam last night, my friend raised my spirits and said, "What if you just saw Jimmy, like, walk past you tonight....."  Man how every face just started to look like his....

Never in a million years did I think I'd see him at any shows, etc, then randomly it just happened one day!  And I've seen him at local fests and shows all the time since... found out he's real into the Dead and Phish and etc, and it's been such a neat journey reconnecting and sharing our similar music taste....(we were the only ones like us on our street!)  God if he's out there okay somewhere, I swear I'm driving back home to see him.

Thanks so much for your thoughts, I'll be on here asap with news
