If you wake up one day, get out, touch your crotch, do a moonwalk, and then write, compose, and sell a multi-platinum album, can I have your autograph?

I mostly have to watch out for Duke. He is a big rambunctious boy, and needs to be close to me all the time. If I am re-injured he should be a prime suspect.

FYI Turbo, if you have a newer phone that has a touch screen and does all that fancy stuff, you can reach PF from your phone. I do it all the time. Great way to pass the time while on the throne.

My marinara is to die for and it's home-made. Maybe I'll turn the boys and get a nice side-line...

I need PF, so live long and prosper.

I hate television, and radio and my CD collection don't cut it when I'm confined. I need to go walk with my dog and explore a bit outside, and mix things up musically. I need to have music all the time in the background. It would be fun to add that to a web-site, but the lawyers would be stacked up 12-deep in the first few minutes.
Figured it would be better to put here than in Greg's Birthday thread.

You can always check out new music on youtube. Here's a band I was only recently introduced to that you may like, I blend of hard rock with some bluesy sounds. Not sure if it is really up to your more experienced and refined tastes.


There is a whole playlist of their music on youtube and you can find plenty of other artists there like that and just play it in the background.

Thanks, Francis and SA. That song by Clutch is a little over-the-top distortion-wise for my tastes, but I go like bluesy rock for the most part.

Turbo, have you tried Pandora as a source of music?

Here's to hoping the ankle gets better...

Thanks, Jhae. I've not used Pandora, but there are a few others I've tried. Right now, I'm listening to WKIT - the rock station owned by author Stephen King. They have an on-line presence, too. I prefer my CD carousel set to "random" for music, but this way I get some local weather and news too. Bored!

I want to take my dog for a walk on this nice spring day.

OH... Duke! Yes of course... heh... how silly of me! :wink:
