I have, so you'll have to read them at my journal/blog.
Where do you keep more than sixty purses?
Your sister must be very upset about you naming your son Patrick. Hope she doesn't hold it against him.
I'm a complete homebody too.
What is Pustefix? Bubble mix?
Example: "Doc, ya gotta help me! I got Pustefix!"
No, I'm not a member, but I'm no stranger to life on the edge. I was just able to channel that tendency into stage performance, writing, art, music, role playing, hanggliding, skydiving, bungee jumping, cliff-scaling, spelunking, etc.
I often help struggling addicts and will attend meetings with them and although not an addict per se, I sometimes back up sponsors.
Of course, I also sing songs with lyrics like "I need to get loaded and laid," and "Up in Smoke," etc.
And Caroline Says II is a great idea! Big Lou Fan - first show I ever bootlegged was Lou Reed at the Bottom Line in NYC 1979 and I've seen copies cirxulating to this day! Even on the intraweb! Ironically, my masters are long since vanished in the annals of . . . or perhaps the ANALS of time. Don Cherry was special guest. Here's the setlist and info:
