First of all - Belated congratulations to Todd and Jane for the new addition to their new home. Look forward to meeting Maarten when we arrive next month (can I call him a Kramlet?)

Second of all - I'm still looking for music suggestions. The near total lack of them from you, the indifferent silence into which my words are sent on electric currents to cascade into nothingness, is making me suspect that either A) people are hoping that I go mad re-listening to the 80's era Aerosmith that makes up the bulk of my CD collection or B) have better things to do with their time.

As the universe revolves around me and my needs, I highly doubt the latter, and so can only sadly conclude the former must be true.

Also - I'm serious about sending postcards to people who answer my various challenges here. I sent out a bunch a while ago for the six word story thing, they should have arrived by now, so those of you who doubt me need only ask around. I am a man of my (unread) word.

I will eventually get around to writing up a bit more about Jon's travels here, but I actually have some paid writing to get out of the way first. More on that later.

Does it reveal me to be unforgivingly ignorant or just healthily normal if I confess that I have no recollection of a band called Forbidden Dimension?
Of course that might just be my mind protecting itself from traumatic memories...

Whoops! I meant unforgivably...

Travis! The Forbidden Dimension brings back memories! Mark - you owned this CD, and played it a lot back when we were together (between the Aerosmith, that is). I even recognize the song title mentioned. Crazy.

Of course! I remember now - hill-billy goth rockers. I briefly loved that CD. No idea what happened to it - I was actually trying to remember their name the other day, because I heard a bar band do a version of "In the Pines" which they also covered. Bought that in Montreal while visiting Travis and Todd and meeting Amynah for the very first time.
