From what I've heard they've decided to start at the end and progress backwards with an entire album dedicated to each letter in the alphabet.  FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

I did!  I also have a meeting that's making me a little nervous, but once that's done, it's alll gooooood.  No more meetings until the end of the trip.  r.o.c.k.  

I will have a drink in your honour this evening, my friend.

p.s.  American drinks are waaaay bigger than Canadian drinks.  You guys must come up and go "What the hell is this piddly thing?"  

p.p.s.  Read in the paper today that medical marijuana just got crushed by US Supreme Court.  You are all welcome to come up and smoke your pot in our land.  We also don't have signs that say "Hell is Real", or "Use your guns - they protect  you."  (Those are not made up signs.  It is scary.)  :)

EC, signs like that are all along the interstates in the Dirty South.  Sometimes you just have to laugh.

Enjoy the show tonight--definitely jealous!

I think it's kind of weird.  I heard that Coldplay's new album is called "X and Y".  So will they skip those two letters and go with "W" next, a tongue-in-cheek tribute to George W. Bush?  It seems a little silly, naming an album after a letter, I wish there was a better story behind the name.

I'm sure this is, that's just the one I made up.  I never thought about Coldplay's album being called X and Y......Wierd.

Are you fucking serious?  Who the hell cares what the album is called.  Of COURSE there's a reason for it, and I'm sure once it's out and all the interviews start it'll all come to light.

Man.  Dudes, THERE'S A NEW RECORD COMING OUT!  Let's just be excited about it!!

I'm with you Meg let's wait a bit before we conclude that they just inadvertantly named the album Z.  You never know where Jim is going to come from next.  By the way welcome back. :)

Hi sweet pea!! :)  

Yes.  I am home.  We brought the storm with us, except it only followed us and waited until we'd unpacked the car before it went crazy.  Nice storm.

Anyhow, yes.  Even if it is just called Z because it just is, it doesn't make me upset in the very slightest.  Z is one of the cooler letters after all.  ;)
