Ginger or Johnson
Friday, December 29, 2006 at 01:41AM
I didn't intend to blog this week, trying to take the time off to spend with the family, but this was important. If you read the news, you must be aware that ol' man death has been on the move. Gerald Ford, James Brown, Saddam any day now... "Who next?" I hear you asking.
Well, I'll tell you. Our goldfish. We used to have two. Ginger and Johnson. My wife called Johnson "Johnce". We've had them since my birthday two and a half years ago. A couple weeks ago one of them died. I could never remember which one was which. I think it might have been Johnce. Well, tonight we came back from a little get-together at the Webb's to find that Ginger was laying at the bottom of the bowl. I think it's because we've forgotten to feed him (or her) for the past few weeks and she (or he) ate all the gunk that could be found on the side of the glass.
So we are pet-less.
And this will probably be all I'll post again until the New Year. And then, hang on. Good stuff to come. New Caedmon's record. Solo tour. And a stickie note full of random thoughts that I think will make good posts. Until then, hope you have a great week and I'll see you next year.

Happy New Year!
And sorry to hear about the fish.
Alas, poor Johnce...we hardly knew ye. Or was it Ginger...or...
Anyway...Happy New Year!

Sniff!
Hang in there, man- hug it out.
Here's to a better 2007 (not that 2006 was so bad) and your solo show in Baltimore. (I hope?)
Johnce.
That name is brilliance.
I'm sorry for your loss, though. I didn't mean to sound heartless.
See you next year :)
The whole thing sounds a little fishy.
Have a Blessed New Year!
See you again in Pittsburgh in 07
I'm happy to note that I'll see you http://upcoming.org/event/132289/" rel="nofollow">very early in the New Year. I'd beg you for some pre-show time for an interview under normal, non-newborn-in-the-house conditions. [Hi, Alison. I like the fact that you continue to speak to me and would like to stay on your good side. ;)]
