Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I know the CT state song! Okay, probably everyone knows it, since it is Yankee Doodle. Similarly, VA and Carry Me Back To Old Virginia.
I also did know that the KY state song is My Old Kentucky Home, and MD is Maryland My Maryland, but only because of horse racing.
TN has SIX state songs. That seems like a little much.
Louisiana state song = You Are My Sunshine, so, yeah, everybody knows it. Although I think I heard they changed it recently, or added a more about the state sounding song, so maybe not anymore. But when I was in Elementary school, that was the case.
Man, the book store sitting sounds great. I'd do it, but I'd have to get a house sitter to walk the dog and feed the cats and that's just too complicated. I would chip in for travel expenses so a buffistas could have that gig, definitely.
We learned (and I still know at least the first verse of) our state song is 4th grade music class.
All righty, Isaac finally became a hurricane! It's funny, I agree with this guy in my Twitter feed: "I almost feel happy for him. The Little Tropical Cyclone That Could." Heh.
OK, the NYS State song is "I Love NY". Which I am pretty sure was an ad campaign for NYC. Also, there was probably a different one when I was little.
Holy shit, I want that bookstore-sitting gig so much. I wonder if S. could handle the kids for two months without me.
Can we call a check-in for coastal peoples?
The NJ one is not, sadly, the John Gorka song of the same name
Hah! So great. I love John Gorka.
In other news, I present the GOP guide to female anatomy.
For those few who are interested: TNG still has the trots, and since today is the day the cleaners come, I have banished her to the crate in the garage, poor thing. Oh, and I gave her doggy!Valium and Imodium. Hopefully she won't be too much of a wreck when I get home...

I knew that one from the West Wing!

I was just thinking that!
Sad, no birthday trip to New Orleans. Or anything at all. I've got the time off work, I figure I can not take Tuesday (I was going to fly back) but still take the rest of this week off. And do what, I don't know. Anyone have brilliant ideas? Or things I should do while I"m home for a few days? (#1: Get oil change, #2 Call a damn dentist, but other than that...) I feel like if I accomplish stuff, I won't feel quite as shitty about not having a birthday party or trip or anything (I wanted yummy new orleans food! I was going to start a diet AFTER I got back!)
