CAPT Bryan

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha West Texas Rose and everyone else who can still stay awake!

Putting my political barb to music today since it'll only get lost tomorrow.

[Diver Dave]

Looks like it’s gonna be a family reunion for Bryan’s homecoming.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...staying awake does seems to be an issue. It’s hot here....gotta fan running, but relaxing causes the zzzzz monster to show up.

I’m loading music and doing my best to read at least a couple bits of news.

Any music requests?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Almost home, CAPT Bryan, nephew of FReeper Diver Dave.
We thank you for your service to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...having a good week?

All the healing bones pulling in the same direction?

[BIGLOOK]

Any music requests?

Geez...that's a toughie. I really don't follow a whole lot of the latest hits or even the ones for the past ten years prior. I hear some from time to time and either remember them or forget them. I've been watching the news.....but don't tell Luv!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I won’t tell Luv....she’ll never know you were watching the news. Anything I need to read about?

I don’t have new stuff. I’m old with old music. LOL!
