A perfect sunny spring mix!! Thank you maestro Monica!!! Checking in to say thank you for subbing and soundtracking our Friday afternoon daydreams 💓🌸
Had a dream just 2 nights ago where I had had a head injury [was tld so in the dream]and recovered and awoke able to speak multiple languages fluently and called a friend in A'dam and was speaking nederlands but she refused to believe it was me ... awoke to my poor mouth language abilities...
tanks! mil is hanging in there, going on 12 weeks of hospice care. mrs. L is getting help and maintaining her sanity which is most important.
we couldn't keep scooter, he was too aggressive and not safe to have in the house. I miss him, so sad. 😿
yes, in a hospital bed at her home. she has delusions about walking around the house and going out to dinner with her 35 years deceased husband. otherwise doing as good as can be expected all thanks to my wife taking care of her.
Saw a guy on the Bklyn/Franklin Ave shuttle doing the Retro NA Indian thing
and had to explain to him about "Billy JacK" and the small/brief NativeAmerican Explotation film thing..
en serious: folks say go to Bryce Canyon ????

Monica:
Yer man, Mr C! Heard this samples on an MC Eiht track f/90s. Hi PKNY - yes!
Ugh I will keep you guys in my thoughts. In home hospice was rough with my mom but also really illuminating and transcendental ????? I hope your wife is getting the support she needs !!
Greetings! Sorry for the miscue, I'm not even remotely related to Holland it was a nickname someone gave me years ago because of my think Bklyn accent.
Sorry to hear about your ma, Winston. Mine is 86 and I am starting to see that she may not be around mentally much longer. We did enjoy lunch at a Bklyn diner with plenty of conversation. I count my blessings.
Cheers to your wife!

winston! Sending love and pixie and Luxardo dreams your way.
I gave you a shout out on Marty's show the other night. A complicated story involving finding Chartreuse (!) in a store and then mixing up una Palabra Final for my wife.
There were moments lugging the luggage through the subway this afternoon when I wondered the same thing! But I am back -- and I have seen many puffins!

We couldn't range quite so far this time (although I've seen them before and love that place as much as any on earth!). We DID get to the Isle of May for puffins, foghorns, a priory, and a few massacre sites. Also Glasgow for kinemats, pints, and record shopping!

That sounds like a great visit!
We went once in late June, the daylight lasted until 10pm so we really got around. Also spent three weeks and had a rental car.
It is such a beautiful country, a good friend of mine was born there and he took us around a bit.
Hope you had a blast.

Well, a couple of Pogues live records, radio broadcasts, that I couldn't resist. The Heaven 17 records. Yazoo. Nicfit. Glasgow would be worth some real systematic studying. Plenty of record shops.
Good work, clan Haversack. Haven't been to Glasgow but know Edinburgh quite well. Also Shetland Isles. We're planning on taking the weans to Ireland after the present administration runs its course.

john_zilla:
Hi Monica!! thanks for spinning us tunes into Friday afternoon
From the air, it looked good! We'd love to go back one day.
Edinburgh had changed in some ways since we were last there in 2019 but was the same in many ways as well. It was good to see our friends' life there, although we missed getting out into the countryside. Still, WHAT WITH THE ECONOMY AND ALL, a vacation spent on some friends' sofa bed is kind of ideal!
We were sitting at a bar in Anstruther before heading out on a boat trip to the Isle of May, and the bartender suddenly grabbed a bottle of Irn Bru and set it on the bar and then poured a measure of Bacardi into a tall glass over ice. The next second the door opened, a fellow sat down and poured the Irn Bru in, and a ritual happening was clearly complete.

From the air, it looked good! We'd love to go back one day.Edinburgh had changed in some ways since we were last there in 2019 but was the same in many ways as well. It was good to see our friends' life there, although we missed getting out into the countryside. Still, WHAT WITH THE ECONOMY AND ALL, a vacation spent on some friends' sofa bed is kind of ideal!

We were sitting at a bar in Anstruther before heading out on a boat trip to the Isle of May, and the bartender suddenly grabbed a bottle of Irn Bru and set it on the bar and then poured a measure of Bacardi into a tall glass over ice. The next second the door opened, a fellow sat down and poured the Irn Bru in, and a ritual happening was clearly complete.Bob Tankenstein: Monica's gonna make me break the clicky star button!
Bob Tankenstein: This bed music is great XD
