Thanks for the marathon, Benj, you ruled the endurance there. Still want to buy you a drink (or two or three)! I'll let you know as soon as we have copies of those tracks we did in the am, and photos of the pm!!
I made my first trip to Trader Joe's in Minneapolis last weekend and thought of you. It was ok - probably smaller than those on the northwest coasts, etc. I got some good deals for sure though and can I get a hell yeah for $3.99 bottles of Chilean wine?!!!
I swear Benji, if you do not drop me a line and tell me WTF you are up to these days I will take that drumstick and ram it up your ass. How's that for classy.
hey benji, sorry I didn't wish you happy 4th of July, so happy Indie Day. Also I think Bob Ross is trying to contact you from beyond the grave...I got mail, and I'll keep you posted...
