Hey, has anyone seen or heard from Kathy A in a while? I wonder how her health is - she was posting regularly after her surgery and then dropped off...

Yeah, I don't guess I have a problem with it. I'm kind of not fussed about it either way?

Stay out of the way of the tornados, everyone.

Kate P. there is a small chance we will make a quick visit to Nashville next month, if the ETSU Bluegrass Pride Band has a gig we can go to - they will be in town to play for something else and are trying to add a public performance.

Typo, a good friend of mine just wrote a global warming book - Overheated by Andrew Guzman. Feel free to criticize, we're all friends here.

There was more but my daughter is tearing the house apart.

So far, there's one fatality in Adairsville from the tornado. This is how his neighbor described it: "A tree feel on his bedroom, and he was squished."

You can play for the Yankees!

What a perfectly horrible thing to say to your wife!

Hmph! I've been waiting to find out What Jamaicans Think, and assumed I would get that from you.

Hah! I also saw an article about it earlier today and wondered what ita ! would say. Gotta say, though--more people watching the ad because of the controversy, all free publicity?

No, java, not in a long time. I emailed her a ways back - months ago - but haven't heard.

Thanks, Brenda. I try not to worry but I hope she's okay.

java, I've seen her posts on Shakesville a few times in the last few months, most recently around New Year's. So she seems to be alive and healthy, just, for whatever reason, on a break from b.org. I don't think brenda's the only person who's nudged her, so she must know that she's loved and missed, and that we've left the light on and the key under the mat and she can come back anytime.

Thanks, JZ. It's totally understandable to take the break of whatever length. I was just curious about how she is. Now that you've filled me in, I am content. :)
