@abby: I'm going to try to replay music I really like more often. Sometimes I love a new CD that comes out, play it once, maybe twice, and then it goes away. I want to go back to the ones I really love this year. Do you think this makes for more boring listening?

  12:59am
Trey Monkeystasio:

unless it's the Renegades
  1:00am
Holly in NC:

To make a decent living working *only* with or for people I like & respect.

That said, to make an honorable as well as decent living this evening, I must go swaddle & comfort a very, very unhappy puppy.
