So far? No idea.

Good morning :-)
One week, 2 hours, a few minutes, no one counting.

Okay, you've done it now ... you gotta post a picture of yourself with long hair!

I don't have any handy but maybe when I get home. Assuming I am not distracted by plans of deception and subterfuge. How to regain the element of SOME surprise. The stealth/ninja plan seems to have been a failure so far...

The funny thing is that her younger brothers are MUUUUCH worse with name dropping. They don't know who anyone is.

I often like long hair on guys but Talon is, um, *much* better-looking with shorter hair. IMHO.

Once again, I'm not going to do your homework.

Not my fault my parents abusively homeschooled me and kept me from watching tv most of my life...

Sadly, Lou Rawls is dead, at 72.

One of the great distinctive gospel/jazz/soul/blues voices is stilled ... whether he was singing, or talking, or even when he was doing Garfield, you always knew it was Lou ...

Oh man. What a loss. :-(

He sang one of my favorite songs with that gorgeous voice of his...

You'll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
You'll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do

Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby
But I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else, no-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh one else

You'll never find, it'll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you like I do
You'll never find the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared, just us two

Whoa, I'm not tryin' to make you stay, baby
But I know some how, some day, some way
You are (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it's cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

You'll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
You'll never see what you've found in me
You'll keep searching and searching your whole life through
Whoa, I don't wish you no bad luck, baby
But there's no ifs and buts or maybes

You're gonna, You're gonna miss (miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know you're gonna my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it gets real cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know, I know that you are gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Let me tell you that you're gonna miss my lovin'
Yes you will, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When I'm long gon
I know, I know, I know that you are gonna miss
