it’s wet

Just bring your umbrella, because the odds are good it will be raining. Right now it’s pouring again. I am thinking about the soggy, soggy outfield over at the ballpark. Probably no game tonight.

you better get paid

Q: Would you ever sell one of your songs for a TV commercial? A: I wouldn’t have a problem with selling something for a commercial if they gave us a life-altering amount of money. Q: Would you give up your pinky toe to sell a million records? A: Sure. Q: How about both of them? […]

swish

Sun is still out, and so we are going outside soon to have lunch. I am watching baseball, Swisher just made a great catch for the A’s. But Matt Cain is on fire for the Giants. Oops there’s a home run for the Big Hurt. I am so torn! My pal Whitney is coming up […]
