No, I didn't.

Must've been the part where I was reading your mind. Or actually, I was referring to your notice that you would be working on the board getting it ready for the search feature. Which in my mind (and perhaps in no others), constituted the kind of notice that would let Nora know she wasn't getting her leg pulled about the recent (welcome!) addition to the features.

So what I wanted to say last night right when the board started hanging on me, was:

Hec, I may have misspoken (what the hell constitutes a compilation anyway?) -- I meant one of the Hec Special Tapes. Not Blackwater Slide... maybe In the Pines?

Aye, caramba Cindy. That's a special record for 1989 awfulness. Your poor family.

wrod. Our 2001 was like that, though.

Not Blackwater Side... maybe In the Pines?

Yeah, 2002 was when my dad died and my cousin was diagnosed with breast cancer on the same day. Not a good February, but doesn't compare with your 1989.

Ooh, Hec, want. I'm sure I have a birthday coming up sometime in the next year or so.

That's true, in my Annis Horribilis, nobody actually died. Everything else happened though, and I do believe there is a part of my heart that won't be the same, but still not death.

David, that's my kind of mix.

What a dreadful year, Cindy.

Ed's Redeeming Qualities

my ex-boyfriend's bandmate and best friend's band.

That seems like a great mix, by the way, one that would reduce me to a gibbering mess. In a good way.
