Well exactly.

But that has actually reminded me of Steve Earle's song "Johnny Come Lately" which I love.


When I first got to London it was pourin' down rain
Met a little girl in the field canteen
Painted her name on the nose of my plane
Six more missions I'm gone
[...] Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking you home with me one day, Shirl
Soon as we win this war

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

(John, yr current tag is

ThereÕs no such thing as a soul! ItÕs just something they made up to scare kids, like the Boogie Man or Michael Jackson.

with those third-drawer apostrophes.)

Sorry! I'm fixing it as we speak. And, ha!, with the third-drawer thing.

Stealing other people's lines. It's what I do.

Got to go, back later, and/or talk tomorrow, I hope.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

They have a wonderful playground in the middle of downtown San Francisco. It's all foamy, don't-hurt-if-you-fall-on-it & it has fun, windy slides and sand for making messes. We took the niece and nephew there & had a ball.

Children's Playground in Golden Gate Park (10 minutes from my house) is the oldest public playground in the country. They've got see-saws and the merry-go-round things (as well as an actual Carousel). Emmett and I frequent something like six different playgrounds all walkable from my house.

Also, playground culture is alive and kicking at Emmett's school and aftercare. He plays a variation on the above mentioned Peg called Slaughterhouse.

Four-square was the big game when I was growing up. I once held serve against a line of 23 girls, which was considered an important moral victory in 3rd grade.

Fay, I surely hope you got Conversations With Dead People on tape. It's definitely a season highlight.

Is that the one we went to, Hec?

Yup. Burrell probably went to another one, though. Since Children's Playground isn't downtown. But there are a lot of playgrounds around the city.

Australians, I found out some stuff about the new Denton show, but was then sworn to secrecy.

It's going to be chatty/interview based, not a variety show like Money Or The Gun, as I understand it. And there's going to be a shooting of a pilot in Sydney on the 12th of March, for which tickets are being given away right now.

Thanks John, have they announced the date for the premiere ep.
