Current music: “One Irish Rover” by Van Morrison. Why doesn't classic rock radio ever play "The Rover" by Led Zeppelin? It's a tight little rocker.

Rovers… Sis is fleeing to north of Houston, Dad and Charlene are New Mexico-bound, Toland and his mother are too, and the Bruiser Cruiser is coming to Mesquite.

Okay, Kellipalooza 40 is coming together nicely. Thanks to those of you who have RSVP’d. I’m thinking that the presence of the one and only Heather Longyear is likely to ease my own anxiety about playing host. Let those folks who are more comfortable with the spotlight handle that kinda stuff, right?
