Pam T.
Thanks for the heads up on the Invisible Man- sounds like a winner for today. No school this Friday as we had parent/teacher conferences during the week. I hosted a book fair which is our primary source for funding new library books. We had our best sale ever, so I get to purchase a bunch of new books! Makes me feel like a kid in a candy store!
I must inform the barkeep that he has competition for the best margaritas from my hubby. He says the secret is cheap tequilla... the kind without the worm. He's also working on formulating the "jaegerita" and promises he'll share the recipe with the barkeep. Unless the barkeep already knows how to put one together.. which wouldn't surprise me. He is the "Jaeger-master" afterall.
Have a wonderful weekend, Swampsters!

In case you did not hear the famous Iowa "Field Of Dreams" has been sold.
The entire land and buildings now have a new owner. There are no plans to
make any changes except posative ones. The property will be preserved and
some of the vintage buildings will be repaired to keep up with the theme
of the famed property. What has changed are the owners and that's about it.
In the future things to inhance the land may be added but most important is
they don't want to upset the present look and feel of things.
Have a Happy Halloween Everyone !!! If you are around our place then stop
on by. Yup visit Norm's and you will get good food, good gaming, good whiskey
(HOOCH) and good limo. What more do you want ??? Nyuk
BOO !!! Scary oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!! Nyuk.

Good morning swampsters! Have fun this weekend, I know we will be. The halooween party is a "go", my hubby will be sitting this one out (he won't be helping do anything), but the rest of us will be trying to scare people out in our woods. I think we have some really good surprises for them!
John is doing better, he's home and trying to rest (hard to keep an active guy like him still). He was running a high fever, and the visiting nurse tried to get him to go back to the ER, but he refused. We bullied him into going to see a doctor yesterday, and he has a urinary infection. Now he's on antibiotics, and happy that it wasn't something worse. He liked Barkeep's comment about the back 'o the gown thang, and he really appreciated the sweat pants. The nurses razzed him about his green socks and red pants, said he looked like he was waiting for Christmas, heehee.
Belated birthday wishes to Mawy!
Have a fun and safe halloween! Later taters

One more thing, then I'll shut up. Mayo is offering another training program for transcriptionists. It is a 14-week program and will be held January through May of next year. It is listed on the job posting web site but will only be there until the end of this month. Remember, training will be held here in Rochester; but afterwards, the transcriptionists will be working from home, wherever that may be. Pass this along to anyone you think might be interested.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! We finished the office and just have the hallway to go, except that somewhere in the upstairs bath there is a leak that is coming through the entry ceiling. UGH! Replace the ceiling is in order. In any event the plumber is coming tomorrow.
Field of Dreams? Great movie. I've been to all kinds of places where movies were made, Dis and I even honeymooned in the Steel Magnolia House, yep, right where it was filmed and the real life drama took place. We did Rodanthe, Forest Gump sites, all kinds of places, but I didn't even know there was a Field of Dreams. Hmmm.... Gotta put that on the list for next summer when Chris and I drive up to Glacier National Park.
Wowa, how about an update. How's the Mr. doing?
Spacey, hey your health care is better than I got in Sweden. They think it's silly to give you a gown when they examine you! They knew I was an American when I insisted they give me one.
Well, it's time for bed. All is well here and we are set for the week ahead, which will include a road trip to a Texas Aggies Game on Saturday!!!! I just love the traditions and superb show the corp does at every game. You have to see it to understand. Makes you so proud to be an American when those fine young men and women march past you and you realize they are willingly ready to sacrifice their lives for our country. The best and brightest are right there in College Station. I have been an Aggies fan since my very first game.
Love to all Swampsters.

Hiya Swampsters, happy weekend to you.
For those who were not aware yet, Mr. Wowa had a heart attack Friday afternoon. They had to put two stints in him, the first one they put in, failed. The front part of his heart was 100% blocked. Thinking about it now, we think he was showing signs of this impending event for a couple of months. he'd been complaining of arm pain, and we assumed it was all his physical activity and age. We will be paying more attention now, since we know better. So, everyone, PAY ATTENTION to any aches and pains in your chest and arms, DO NOT ignore them Get checked out. Will be going back up to hospital sometime today, bringing him some sweat pants. He's having a fit about the thought of wearing those backless hospital gowns. Ha. So I found a get well card for him with a picture of a man's butt sticking out of one of those gowns, nyuk.

OH! A Halloween party! Lovely. I'm coming as the Oscar Meyer Weiner "so everyone will be in love with me............" I'll see if I can borrow the Weiner mobile, just for Mickey to drive it around the block.
Thngs are cooking here- NOT. We are almost finished remodeling the kitchen. It's been a long time without a real meal. Those of you on Facebook will see the photos soon. We still have to get the pantry door delivered, painted, and hung along with one more cabinet door that gets done today. The new granite kitchen counters look nice and the cabinets really lighten things up in white, along with the can lights on the celing. I just love those. The colors are blue and yellow which are my happy colors. At the same time we moved Chris downstairs in the Master bedroom so he won't have to climb the stairs, and I took his room for a dressing/bedroom and the guest room as my office.
I gotta get back to studying again if I am to make my goals for this semester. I started out finishing 3 classes in 4 weeks, then Chris had his surgery and month in the hospital. It's been pretty scary since then as he has been hospitalized last month for 3 days and in the ER several times. Medication adjustments are no fun. But, I hope to back from a 3 month vacation from school this week and God willing get ahead for next semester. There are several classes I think I can pre-test out of and that will help a lot. I have taken 2 pre-finals and passed them both but still have to turn in an essay and take the finals before the end of November. Maybe with the new office and the house looking decent now I'll be able to get back to work.
The kids and I are going to see The Mouse on November 14 for several days, compliments of Dis. We are doing the Very Merry Christmas Party, all the parks, and Lily is wearing her Cinderella dress at Magic Kingdom, her Dorothy of Wizard of Oz dress and shoes at Hollywood Studios, and a safari outfit for Animal Kingdom. I have been practicing creating the Cinderella hairdo thing for over a week. If her hair would grow just a few more inches.....Oh well, she is beautiful. What more can you ask of a princess?
I woke up at 5:30 this morning. I hate that. I have nothing to do at 5:30. The house is quiet and everyone is asleep. I don't want to wake them by cleaning or milling about. To make matters worse, I'll be sleepy all day. UGH!
It was good to peak in. Hope you all are enjoying the Fall weather. It's still in the 80's here BUT we are expecting a cold front and a low of 31 in a few days. Yippee! I can't wait to take out the sweaters and winter clothes. I felt silly putting out pumpkins and stuff on the porch last weekend. It looks nice but not a leaf has changed color yet. I'm excited that we are going to finally see an end to this horrendous weather. This summer is one I am NOT sorry to see go. I lost everything I planted. We watered and watered but there is no saving a new shrub or tree when it's 116 degrees outside. We broke records almost every day all summer. It felt like we were in Arizona.
Have a great week, everyone. Michael, take some time to rest. I'm sorry Pat is sick. I wondered why we havent' heard from him on Facebook in a while.
Love and Peace to all Swampsters. Take care and God bless.

So, I was driving home yesterday, with my cell phone in my pants pocket, when it starts ringing. Since it is set on "vibrate", cos I can't always hear it, it set off a tickling sensation in my leg that got it doing an involuntary thumping like a dog's does when you rub his belly. Good thing it wasn't my right leg or I would've been tapping the gas pedal and lurching down the road...;~)

Attended the Big Squeeze 3rd Annual Accordion Festival on Sunday. All those years I barricaded myself away from the TV as my parents watched Lawrence Welk and Myron Floren . Who knew?
Anyhow, Lisa Haley and the Zydecats were one of the acts. (She’s related to Bill Haley of the Comets.) Lisa said, “it’s is easier to corral a herd of cats than get 100 accordionists together in one place.” She also referred to the venue as the Orange County Swamp. Of course, he Swamp Saloon came to mind immediately. It was fun.. Zydeco anyone? I’ll bring the washboard.

Read this and it went straight into my heart:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Hello Michael and fellow Swampsters:
Yes, I also have 2 nephews each of whom served tours of duty in the Middle East. Michael was stationed in Iraq, and Douglas in Afghanistan. Fortunately, they are both back home and doing well.
For the rest of us, it’s about contributing to others -- living true to our purpose of being here on this earth at this time. Essentially, it’s going beyond ourselves, and adding value to others’ lives.
Fall is by far my favorite season. Octoberfest, Halloween, Veterans’ Day, Thanksgiving -- not to mention the high Jewish holidays. And my family has a string of birthday celebrations. The weather is glorious, and the landscape is absolutely beautiful -- a perfect time for weddings.
And speaking of weddings, I attended a friend’s a few years back where the groom’s mother presided. She got a certificate of ordination online especially for the ceremony. It was a very memorable and touching service -- and his mom had a lot of fun.
“How Sweet the Sound” held their regionals at the Staples Center on Saturday. The winning choir was from Whittier, CA. They brought down the house, and have a great chance in the finals. CeCe Winans also performed. First time I heard her live. She can blow.
Well guess it’s time for Dancing With the Stars. Sigmund Freud keeps coming to mind, and hopefully, DWTS will remedy that.

Pam,
I have a nephew in Afghanistan, too! What a coincidence. Jason's unit's internet was out for about 2 weeks and we didn't hear from him so we were worried. We all got an email yesterday. He is my sister's son and he has 2 year old and 4 year old daughters. So hard on them and Mommy. He will miss Thanksgiving and Christmas with us for the very first time this year. THAT will be hard on us all.
We had our annual "Cousin's Day at the Zoo" Sunday. Great time with my dad and step-mom, Mom, sisters and their families, with the exception of Jason, of course. We did take lots of videos for him so he could be there in spirit. Forty people and LOTS of food and barbeque. There were several games and of course, all the kids and parents went to the zoo for a few hours. It was a 7 hour event that we will always remember. Beautiful weather. Sunny, but about 75 degrees and in the shade it was VERY pleasant.
I have the Shingles! I've had some problems with my back and chest hurting. I thought it was a heart attack so I spent the day in the hospital last Monday. The doctor said it was a pinched nerve and gave me some stuff for it which hasn't helped much. Last night I broke out in a chicken pox type rash on my back right where the pain has been radiating. Fun stuff. I'm going back to the doctor today. That and the kitchen remodel have been keeing me up.
However, the kitchen remodel is going very well. They put the very first coat of primer on yesterday. It stinks to high heaven, but I love that kitchen in white. I can't wait for the granite to arrive and the 'can' lights to get installed. The shelves will be pull-out, the trash can will be on a sliding shelf, it will FINALLY be organized. I feel like singing the "Happy Song" just in anticipation of it. It's been so disorganized. My housekeeping skills have gone by the wayside, I'll tell you but I'll be back in shape soon. I've got a "goodwill" set of boxes, and a "resale shop" set of boxes. What is left behind, I will actually use. Who NEEDS a rice cooker? What was I thinking?
The process of them scraping the popcorn off the ceiling has given Lily and I a cough. It'll be done in a few days and things will settle down. Right now it looks like a clothing and kitchen store exploded in my living room, as that is where everything from upstairs and the kitchen have ended up. We are eating TV dinners out of a borrowed microwave at night as we are so tired of eating out. We got plenty of eating out on our trip to Colorado.
We have plans to spend some time next month with The Mouse in Orlando. Lily is wearing her Cinderella dress and cape and Daddy is going as Prince Charming. My sister is making his costume. I may go as the Fairy Godmother. There will be photos on Facebook, you can count on it. It will be Chris' first time at Disney World. Dis is contributing to the budget mightily so it will be possible for us to stay for 5 days. Even 2 year old Lily is getting excited. Every night we look at the web site and she points out the Toon Town rides and goes, "Wow! Look at that!" It is a hoot.
Well, I have to get back to studying. I just had to peek in and see if everyone was behaving. Looks like things are in order. Carry on, Mates!
Take care and God bless.

This time last year, I was in Virginia to officiate for my cousin's wedding. It had rained for several days, but stopped the day before -- it was outdoors on the grounds of a historic southern plantation.
It's very likely that my daughter Heather will be getting married in the next year or so, and she has already told me not to get my heart set on officiating (darn). I would love to, but she wants me just to be mother of the bride, not Rev.
Have a beautiful autumn week everyone!

They couldn't have picked a prettier day! It's lovely here, isn't it? I was amazed that at 12 noon it was 68 degres. Heartfelt good wishes to the kids.
Happy Birthday, Pat! Sorry this is late but we are in the midst of remodeling so my visits here at the Swamp and on FB are sporadic, to say the least.
I hate ceiling dust! I am scraping popcorn off the old ceilings, anyone who ever tried that will be in sympathy with me. It's on EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE and we just did the kitchen. It's contractor time. I'm done. Gotta guy gonna do this dirty job for 300 a room, including retexturing the ceiling after he is done. Sounds like a deal to me.
I long for this to be finished so I can get back to normal. What was I ever thinking? I will never again buy any house that needs so much as a fresh coat of paint.
Baby Lily is ready for bed and this grandma has had a full day. Tomorrow we are gathering with Dad and Mom and all the brothers and sisters, neices, nephews, kids, grandkids, etc. and having a day at the zoo here in Tulsa. I've made 5 gallons of potato salad and a gallon of my famous dip. I'm taking hamburger buns, condiments, paper plates and cups, etc. It's going to be a marvelous day. We don't get togther nearly often enough now. All of us are busy with kids and grandkids. I miss my family, even though they live right here.

I was bummed that I didn't get to spend more time with them, and you and Barb. Thank you for the compliments on the kids. When my daugher was three she looked EXACTLY like Lily. A lady stopped us on the sidewalk and said, "You are the prettiest little girl!" Missy looked up at her with a confident expression and said, "I know it." and walked away. I hope Lily is like that. Melissa is still the beautiful, strong confident person she was then. I love that.
Today I am getting contractors lined up and tomorrow the same. It's going to look really pretty in this old house when we are done. The upstairs will be complete, the kitchen complete, the back yard won't have the blues anymore. I'm even getting my desk delivered tomorrow. Curio was delivered today. I have a crystal collection that I started in Sweden and it's been sitting in my closet for 7 months. No more! It is in the cabinet and neatly put away.
Well, I got some killer pills from the ER yesterday for chest pains that were really a pinched nerve in my back. Scary. BUT one day later and I am feeling great. Not a stitch of pain to speak of. Right now they are making me sleepy so it's time to find a pillow.

Looks like the guys are going to get a bit of a break over the next few months. I know the spouses and sig others are happy.
It is time to set up the Fall decorations for the very first time at the new house. This week we are remodeling the kitchen as well, but the outside of the house will be in good shape, anyway. Bought some mums for the front porch and have all of the fake pumpkins and paraphenalia from years past. It was in the LOW 70's all day today. It's in the 60's now.
I just love the end of summer!!! Especially THIS summer. It has been a hot one, that is for sure. I'm glad to see the 350+ dollar a month electric bill go as well. Gas is cheap here in Okie land.
I can't wait to see the kitchen professionally remodeled. I've had all the 'make do' I can stand for a while. We have decided on existing flooring, white cabinets, salt and pepper granite, black and white backsplashes, and blue lower walls. It's going to be lovely. Hopefully within a few weeks we can start doing yard work. We want to get bulbs in the ground, paths laid, holes dug for Sping flowering trees, and a play set for the baby in the backyard. That too will be done by the pros. Well, I am okay digging bulbs but after new topsoil is laid and holes for trees dug. I have accepted that I am not as young as I once was. I guess it has to come to us all at some point.
In any case, I am young enough to put the baby to bed and that's what I need to do now.
Goodnight All. Take care and God bless. Glad the concerts were a success. I do have some balloon shots for the newsletter that I think will be great.

Wonderful concert (per usual) in Rancho Cucamonga. A great performance, as always by TDN. And we were treated to Brickyard Blues ... one of my favorites!
The Lewis Playhouse is a lovely venue. The audience was quite reserved, but they were nice people, and genuinely enjoyed show. Good to see Madonna and her friends.
Hello Jean. Nice to hear from you. Hope all is well with you and your loved-ones.
It's been a week, and my hair is growing out a bit. Sabrina, my daugther saw it and had a fit. That hairstylist never does what I request. Most of the time, it turns out okay. This time no.

We were having a good time and even found our wondereful Fan Club president and Miss Marty, Barb, and Debbie. Then about 15 minutes BEFORE the concert I had to leave. I just about cried. It's been SO LONG since I have been to a concert and I really wanted to visit with the girls. I am looking forward to Florida but really wanted to spend some time with Marty. I rarely get to see her. I am just about torn up.
I know, in the grand scheme of things, this is small but it seems really big right now. I was so close!
Anyway, I hope those that got to go are enjoying it. Let us know how it went.
Pat filmed the crowd and posted it on his facebook page. He was filming just as I was leaving. It was really beautiful with the hot air balloons in the background, the sunset, and all.
Mikey, sorry to have missed that famous smile! I was really looking forward to that.
Take care and God bless All.

Well, I am sure we will find a substitute for PRR, there is no lack of entertainment in Branson to say the least. Sure was great nice fall day here in Spamland today.
AnywayIi know some of youse are on Facebook so we can bump and grind there as well, I am also tweeting on twitter so all stop by and say high. Also I do want to congratulate JR Wolfe for his Avatar pix on Facebook, he like I have the "Roadie Fashion" statement down to say the least. Tom Halpain is our fashion leader...the 3DN roadie look, baseballcap, t-shirt, cargo shorts, etc and today I got my metal cased pocket flashlight, next thing you know I will be tuning guitars again. Anyway, if you tweet I am robsfamous and anyone who wants to be a part of the wiener whistle band, is welcome!
By the way, I found the Swede on twitter.

Rob, if you check Paul revere & The raiders website . You will see that they are not playing Branson the rest of this year. They were schedulled to at one time to be at the Andy Williams theatre,but have since been replaced on that schedule by Andy Williams with special guest Ann-Margret. Don't know about you,but I have NO problem going to see Ann-Margret.

Rob,
Paul Revere and the Raiders? Branson? Where? Are they the pre-show? I havent' heard they were going to be there and I'd like to be able to get tickets if possible.
We were going to attend TDN show in Arkansas tomorrow night but Lily has a virus. No ear infection, thank God. So, instead of funnel cakes, corn dogs, hot air balloons, and TDN, we get Sprout, jello, and bananas. Life is a trade off. I wouldn't trade mine for anything, though. Lily just came in and took my hand off the keyboard and placed it around her waist and hugged me. Nothing better than that.
Ya'll have a great weekend. Mikey, I am jealous of those going to the concerts this weekend. I haven't heard you play in concert for WAY too long! I have to wait for Florida now. UGH! Have fun tonight and tomorrow. I know you will. You always have that amazing smile. Dis and his Chris will be in Winnie. Front row in front of Paul. We always seem to end up there. Could be your side gets sold out first??? Hmm........Must be those sexy ladies lining up for a smooch on the cheek.

Danny Tawd- How cool! I, too, am anxious to see a Dolphin Tale! In fact, last Friday I shared a book about Winter, the dolphin with the prosthetic tail, with my Library students...they were absolutely engrossed, listening intently to the story. There are some neat video clips that I googled about Winter's story. You can easily find them if you're interested.
Sounds like the CA shows this weekend were outstanding...as usual! Thanks for sharing, Gail.

Danny, yep, it's amazing what folks will do outside of the privacy of their own home. I'll bet if they were cleaning up the mess they wouldn't behave like that.
My pet peeve is people who don't tip. If you can't afford to tip, stay home and eat, I say. Those folks work long and hard for every dime they get and most get 2-3 dollars an hour. If you are taking up a table in their section for 30-60 minutes, and don't tip them, they make nothing. I am ashamed to see a 4 person table leave a 3 or 4 dollar tip to someone who has waited on them for an hour. 15-18% folks. Look it up. I leave 20% because it's easier to figure.
Off the soapbox.
Bye for now.

You all probably know this but there's a new movie coming out called "DOLPHIN TALE". The story about an injured dolphin who is able to swim again with a prosthetic tail. It says it's based on a true story. Susan and I are anxious to see this one!
We went to Cracklebarrel for dinner the other day. There was a family sitting at a table not too far from where we were sitting. They had two kids..I'd say they were about 6 or 7 years old. You wouldn't know that by their table manners though. I've seen 4 year olds make less of a mess than these two. When everyone was done they got up to leave and I noticed the adults who were sitting there had quite a mess on the floor where they were sitting as well....paper from straws and all sorts of stuff under their chairs. That whole area looked like a bomb exploded. The waitress who we know very well told us they didn't leave her a tip either.
Some people.....

Andra, I guess when the winters are long, you hate to see them start. Here in the south, we welcome them as a relief from the heat.
I have been so interested in everyone's report of Prayers for the Children. I can't wait to see it performed live in Arkansas next weekend. We will be there. Balloon rally or something. That will be fun.
We are back from frosty Colorado. Friday a blizzard hit the park and shut it down. We spent the time taking it easy that morning and then took the slow road to Boulder where we met my youngest and his wife. Both are getting their doctorates there. We spent 3 hours walking around downtown Boulder and talking after dinner. Little Lily held her Aunt Sarah's hand the entire night. She was enchanted by her adoring Aunt. It was lovely in Boulder. What a place! Got my picture taken in front of the Mork and Mindy house. That was a blast from the past.
It has turned to late summer here, 80's and rainy. Not bad. Last month it was over 110 for days and days and not a drop of rain. We lost most of what we planted this spring. Oh, well, there is always next year. Lily's rose garden seems to have survived. The 13 roses are green and blooming.
Finally the last load of laundry is in the dryer, everything is unpacked and we are relazing. The baby went to sleep in her own bed. There are perks to traveling, I'll tell you. It was good to get home, mostly because we drove over 800 miles in 2 days to get back. My backside was sore. Chris and I are already planning the trip to Florida in November and a trip to Canada in August of next year. We want to do Rocky Mountain National Park again, Yellowstone, Tetons, Glacier National Park, and Jasper and Banff. Lily was such a great little traveler that we have no qualms about taking her for 3 weeks or so. She just sat in her car seat and played, watched DVD's on her player, and sang songs with us. We got out several times a day but when the baby's asleep, you don't stop the car so we drove for 2-3 hours straight in the afternoon and sometimes in the morning. It was fun. Lily has learned so many new words and phrases this week. Watching a child learn to communicate is so great. I had forgotten how lovely a 2 year old is. Seriously, I never could understand what people were talking about with the 'terrible twos'. Mine were great during that time in their lives. Seems like Lily is going to be just like her daddy that way.
A few days before the trip I was returning furniture to it's original place after having new carpet installed, and I dropped the mahogany headboard on my foot and leg. Well, i cursed like a sailor, went to the ER, and then I limped for a few days. Now I am okay. The ER doctor said it was broken but I am walking on it. The only thing is my foot is swollen and black and I have 3 big black bruises on my leg. I can wiggle my toes and we hiked all over the place. I couldn't wear real shoes so I hiked in sandals. Whatever works, you know?
Tomorrow we hit the ground running with this week's appointments, doctor visits, and a trip to Arkansas this weekend.
See ya in Arkansas, fan club members!
Life is good!
Hope this finds you all well and happy.
Take care and God bless.

Hi Michael!!!!!! The performance at Humphrey’s last night was astounding. I always enjoy the entire show from beginning to end no matter how many times I’ve seen them perform, but lately I’d say my favorite part of the show is Michael’s and Paul’s guitar performances and all of you gentlemen singing “Prayer of the Children”. It’s my favorite because you know how to sing/bring into line/harmonize a song to the point where you total have captivated your entire audience almost into a trance of pure stillness so that each one of us can be completely moved from the inside out! That is why you stand there during the encore amazed, yourselves, by the standing ovation.

Greetings to all at the Swamp Saloon.
Belated birthday greetings to Madonna.
Looking forward to the concert tonight in Rancho Cucamonga. Anyone else going besides Gail? Never attended a concert at that venue before. I bought my ticket at the box office, and it’s a lovely theatre that seats about 500. I have a good, but not great seat, as I was waiting to see if I could actually attend before plopping down money for a ticket. Been a long time since I didn’t have to bring a lawn chair or cushion for a show, so I was tempted to wear a nice dress. But it’s probably going to be jeans and a nice top.
Couldn't make it to Humphrey’s in San Diego ... again. There always a reason -- for something positive. This time, I got to SKYPE my son. He's been working in Tongyeong South Korea since July, and hasn't had his own Internet connection until now. The family has only received a few short emails with some photos attached. Jordan apparently likes it, and doesn't know when he's coming home. He's made friends with other "foreigners" from the England, Ireland, Canada, and the US. He says that communicating in Korean is difficult because the language has so many intonations. I've been trying to learn Korean in case I visit him, but am still not sure if I want to go. Anyhow, it was wonderful getting to see and speak with him.
Hello Nancy. Sorry to hear that you have problems with my email. I check it on weekends only, but it shows daily emails received throughout the previous week. Try it again, and I will also email you other contact information.
Got my hair cut from a guy I've been going to for years. All I needed was a little trim and a bit of styling. Even brought a picture of what I wanted. He cut it really short, and it should look better in a month. But right now, not good.
Take care.

Madonna, I know I told you on FB, but Happy Birthday to you, Sweetie. You are a first rate president. Now, that gives me a really good idea. Madonna for US President! Hey, why not? You wrangle us and the band into Meet and Greets, you are nice to everyone and you have a great head on your shoulders. Charisma? You got that down to a science, you are MUCH prettier than any president we have ever had, and a real class gal, which is more than I can say for most of them. You got my vote any day.
We are chillin'-no exaggeration- here in Rocky Mountain National Park. Well close to it. It is in the 40's rainy and cloudy, and perfect for a day at the house with chili and movies, birdwatching hummers, magpies, Stellar Jays, and all sorts of animalsoutside the picture windows, and watching the baby play after shopping a bit. I bought caramel apples for later. I thought about starting a fire, but it's a lot of work and I'm into resting today. We have had a lovely time, though. Tomorrow is our last day here and we are sad to start back home. Until today the weather has been lovely and we ain't complaining about today. It's good to have the day off. We hiked about 6 miles in 2 days. Considering we have a 2 year old who is fearless and has her own ideas about where we should be going, we've done great.
Estes Park is lovely. You all should try it sometime.

I chose to travel home from Jacksonsville via Atlanta yesterday decked out in my 3DN Roadie Inspired attire...
Faded black Three Dog night baseball cap, Black Three Dog NIght Bullfrog Shirt ( A black Jonas Bros shirt or a black Spooner Inspried "Lone WOlf" Shirt would be acceptable, Dark drab grey Cargo shorts with bulging pockets, Dirty white Nike knockoffs. I need to picket up a black metallic pocket flashlight so i substiute a Cheap Kodak camera for this trip. I topped off the look with a lanyard accesory with atransparent passort holder for my boarding pass to emulate the all "access pass" that would be worn by To and his crew. Got quite few looks in JAX, and turned a few heads in Atlanta airport. When I arrived in MSP, it didn't phase anyone.
Maybe next trip I might try to get a red hat like Pat Bauz has been sporting lately and couple white t-shirts and pair of drums sticks stuck in my jeans pocket...

da full strip search. Just let the security folks know what we are to do.

Wow I can only echo what has b een said about the USrf SHow... It was wet hot in the palce too boot, humid and the air condo??. Too quote Mr. Wells who commented about turning the air conditioning on...."Cheap bastards" Honestly if you ever wanted to see what it would be like to see you favorite all time rock band at the local corner bar... well that is what the show at the SURF was... classic ballroom built in the 1950's Lawrence Welk, Tormmy DOresey, all the big bands played there and at the predecessor who\ich burned down, not to mention the last gig venue that Buddy Holly, Ricthie Valens, and the Big Bopper played, and you have it, The Surf...beer, hootin and hollarin" and Three Dog Night, awesome...THen the nex night an acousitcally perfect concert hall at Wisconsin Dells, the Water Park Capital of the WOrld...and more Three Dog Night. Awesome, and os good to see all the Swampters this weekend.
Honeybear i bleive has come up with anew cutesy about our barkeep...she wanted me to pass on to Micheal that he is just perfect size for a girl as short as my honey bear to squeezee...She said he is "FUNsized!"
Okay what does that make me???
We finish out the weekend in Milwaukee with our don and his family and my brother and his family...what a great weekend, going to the Dogs! Also my heartfelt thanks to the band for doign "Prayer of the Chidlren" both nights. It was awesome!

Pam: Couldn't agree with you more! Although I didn't get in on the squeezing, I did have a blast at the show (considering) and later at the hotel. I think our friend from the north will be smiling for the rest of the year! What a very special treat for her to have Cory, Paul, and Pat join in on our little celebration.
As always, it was fun to meet up with Pam, Tom, the MN red head, Susan, Rob, and Cindy, and very nice to meet Sharon. What a great group of people you are!!
The next morning, Susan and I hit the road for yet another show; this time in Wisconsin Dells. We got there a bit early, so drove around and found her hotel, had a bite to eat, and waited for the group to arrive from Chicago.
Madonna, it was a joy to see you again as well as Marty! You're both as lovely as ever. It was great to finally meet Barbara! What a character! Wish we'd had more time to chat, but that will have to wait for another time. Did you guys get to the boat at all? Hope so!
Susan: Alway a pleasure to see you. Was very nice to have your company on the road to WI. It was nice to get to know you a bit better.
Mike: As always, it was a true, true joy to see you and your band mates once again. Pam was right when she said you guys were smoking at the Surf. You were all working hard, and I wanted to let you know we appreciate it! Jeff (the "ring guy") says it was the best showed he'd ever seen.

What a great start to the Labor Day weekend! I think this TDN adventure may rate as my very favorite of all time. From the minute we arrived in Clear Lake, the joy was non-stop. Good friends, good food and margaritas at the Cancun, a visit to the crash site memorial with a few musician friends, a birthday celebration for our dear friend from MN, a HOT (and I mean smokin'!) Three Dog Night show at the Surf, and some Barkeep and Swede squeezing all contributed to a wonderful and very memorable beginning to the Labor Day Weekend. Now I need a nap.

Rockin' R osie
Well, I have been absent and I am sorely disappointed that I missed the Swede Squeezes and the Barkeep Boogie Down. UGH! Well, that will teach me to get my priorities straight. A belated Happy Birthday and cyber squeeze to the (((Blondedog))) and (((MTV))).
Okay, it looks like this Gropette will be in Florida for the Gropette Rally in Tampa. I hope to remedy the missing squeezes at that time. Ya'll will have to line up behind me and I may take a while. It's been quite a while since this Gropette has had a face-to-face talk with the band members. The blonde dog and the curly headed drummer spent some time with us in Vegas last year, but that was the last time, and I didn't get a squeeze. Now that I know they are for sale, I'll take a dozen, maybe two. Brakeep, I'm saving the best for you. Gotta cut back and save up my pennies for lots of hugs. I start today!
T-shirts of the band members individually. Now there's an idea. Barkeep, perhaps you could put some out on a table in the corner in the Swamp. I'd take one of each. A unique and fun gift for that person who has everything as well. You know, Christmas is just around the corner.
Chris, Lily, and I will be be-bopping around Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park the week after next. Dis has generously paid for a wonderful vacation there, complete with a home in Windcliff, a group of homes on the side of a mountain with great scenic views of the mountain range across the way. We will be at 9000 feet in 10 days. Woo Hoo!!!!!
Rocky Mountain High will be on the CD instead of the usual TDN CD's. I hope we get really cool weather. This week has been brutal. Over 103 every day. Someone turn summer off, we are ready for fall. It looks like Autumn here. All the leaves are falling off the trees from draught. Our pretty 'Green Country' looks like Arizona.
Well, it's Saturday and I am still in my pj's at 10:15 in the morning. What would my mother say? Well, it's been a heck of a last few months and I deserve a pj morning but it's time to get dressed.
Ya'll have a great time.
Fogbrat, great to hear from you and know that you are safe and sound. You were missed, as always.
Anyone find out if Spooner and Spoonette are okay? I heard the DC area got hit pretty bad, first with a earthquake and then a storm.
Take care and God bless.

Geez, I am actually happy to find out that no one really knows where I am...it means I'm doing a good job of being a ghost on teh interwebs.
Yes, I'm alive. Just got power back this afternoon. It wasn't all that bad where I am...all the secondary roads (and a fair portion of the main ones) were impassable due to downed trees/lines until early Tuesday, and we had to have quite a bit of quality chainsaw time to get out of the house, but all in all, I've had worse. No major flooding like they had further west, just wind damage, relatives are fine up in the NEK.
So, that's me then.

I realize five bucks plus the Jager shot are a bargain for the priviledge of some Swede squeezing, but how about a complimentary squeeze when a Swamp patron has a birthday? Also, are we allowed to tip for particularly good squeezes? I know the Swede has high standards for each and every squeeze administered, however, some are in the outstanding, python-like, bordering on bone crushing category and are deserving of additional gratuities. Just wondering...

Barkeep
Due to public demand and a growing economic need to keep the Saloon funded ... this lowly barkeep will now turn to whoring, albeit as a madaam of sorts. That is to say: Effective immediately, there will NOW BE A CHARGE TO SQUEEZE THE SWEDE. Yes, these bad economic times bring about many unwanted image changes, but one must do what one must do. In an effort to keep a low profile in this respect, I will simply leave a spittoon by the band's dressing room (behind the Swamp Kitchen). You may drop your $5.00 contribution (Canadian Currency accepted) into the spittoon. All squeezing of the swede will take place in the hall just outside the ladies restroom. The management would like to thank (in advance) all you SSWOTS (Swede Sqeezing Wimmens of the Swamp) for your cooperation. In the spirit of friendship, the management will throw in a free Jaegermeister shot for every other squeeze. We think this may, in fact embellish the squeeze for the swede himself. It's been known to happen before. All rise for the Swedish National Anthem. -BK-

Beautiful venue too with incredible Native American artwork. Enough to make you drool - as if the guys don't do that to me already. tee hee

I probably should get in line to ensure a good spot by the stage, but I've got too much to do with school starting on Wednesday! How about you go and save me a place?;-)
Rockin' Rosie- I think it would be great if Michael would kiss a gropette at each show....but I don't want Spacey to feel less special. Maybe hugs from the stage? Like I mentioned before, I'm thrilled with a wave.

That's funny, Spacey. My cousin's grandfather used to call me De-bor-ah. Made me crazy as a child. Deborah is such a stiff "Nurse Ratchett" name, but then Debbie is so "perky" and "Gidgety". My best friend calls me Dee. But you can call me whatever. Just don't make me cry. I feel sensitive tonight.

R&R Widow, good to see your post. Ironically, I was just thinking today about meeting you in Texas a few years ago. You were with Sammilynn. Do you ever hear from her? Sounds like everybody had a good time at the show last night.
Mikey once said that you couldn't write a blues song with a girl's name like Debbie. So what happens when Debbie gets the blues?
Love to all,

Hi Mikey.
Greetings to all.
It’s been a while. Time flies.
Nothing much new. Been staying local in 2011. I journeyed to France in 2009, and the Mediterranean in 2010. So I’m all-traveled-out.
Instead, I’ve been tending to my garden which was annihilated by snow and frost last winter. I also adopted a little Cairn terrier mix from the Redlands Shelter. Her name is KiKi. She was very skinny, sickly and scared when she first came home, but KiKi is adjusting well and is so cute.
The concert in Costa Mesa inspired me to visit the Swamp Saloon.
Three Dog Night’s Orange County Fair performance made my top four favorites of the 2011 summer concert season (along with Buffalo Springfield, The Monkees, and James “Moon Doggie” Darrin - in no particular order. They were all really good and unique. Some very other popular acts did not make the cut.)
First of all, I was jazzed that America was the opening act. Dewey and Gerry played at the Beaumont Cherry Festival a few years ago. America put on a great show -- despite the fenced-in-cage-stage in a park. They are unassuming, funny and talented -- wonderful entertainers with an impressive repertoire. And it was the same at the OCF -- except for the encore when we were treated to the accompaniment of Jimmy Greenspoon on keyboards for “Horse With No Name.”
The second great thing about this concert was the Orange County audience. Orange county audiences absolutely rock. They’re very friendly, and really get into the spirit of the music - clapping, singing, and dancing -- so much fun!
But , of course, the best part of this show was the Dogs. TDN always puts on a fantastic concert, but the OC Fair performance was absolutely excellent. The music was spot-on, the vocals were clear and sharp, and they all looked rakish.
Cory introduced “It Ain’t Easy” and discussed the tune’s lack of popularity.
What always strikes me as funny about this song is Chris, my British son-in-law, who immigrated to the US as a young man. Chris was extremely unfamiliar with classic American pop music, and knew just one TDN recording -- “It Ain’t Easy!”
Cory, went on to memorialize his deceased friend Rob Grill, and shared that “It Ain’t Easy was one of Rob’s favorites. The music community has suffered a great loss. I overheard audience members speaking of Rob Grill’s death at the Greek Theatre during the Monkees show, and again several weeks later at the Peter Frampton concert. The audiences at the free pop concerts in Beaumont also spoke of Rob Grill’s passing. His fans are deeply saddened by the news.
Prayer of the Children is a beautiful song, and makes an awesome encore. Anxiously awaiting it’s release on the new TDN CD. It will be a smash hit.
BTW, I looked around for Donna, Maria, Nancy and their entourage, but didn’t see them. But did I see you Madonna (and possibly Paul)? There was a blonde sitting in the second row who looked like you. Also, Madonna, do you want me to email you any photos of this concert?

Great show last night at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, California! My sister Linda's first Three Dog Night show and she absolutely loved it! Michael was his usual happy, wonderful self on stage. It was cool to have Jimmy come on for America's encore and play keyboards for "Horse With No Name." A special treat!
I also appreciated Cory's tribute to Rob Grill of the Grass Roots, mentioning how "It Ain't Easy" was Rob's favorite TDN song, and that they were close friends and fishing buddies for decades. Another really wonderful experience with Three Dog night, and truly enjoyed my evening with Linda, Maria, Kathleen, Nancy, James and Dylan.
We waved at you Mikey ~~ but I know you couldn't see us because we were in the second section. We waved just the same!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Spacey,
You are too funny! Gives a whole new meaning to the name Rockin' Rosie, don't it? ;)
Pam,
Now are you saying all the Gropettes ought to get kisses from the barkeep when they attend a concert? Woo Hoo! We'd have a line from here to Kansas. As for me, I'd get a kiss, then get right back in line! I imagine I'd have some company as well.
Got a lot done in the garage and yard the last 2 days. 70's and 80's here in Oklahoma, climbing into the 90's again tomorrow but we got a break so I can't complain too much. We are usually in the 80's and 90's here in August so that is at least normal.
Can't wait to get to the Arkansas and Florida concerts. I am going through TDN withdrawal BAD! Living through you guy's concert reports is better than nothing but I need a fix of the real thing.
Hate that the guys are so busy. It must be hard on the families, but I am sure glad I am going to get to see them. Selfish, I know.
Dis will see the guys tomorrow with his son, Chris. Yep, we both have sons named Chris. There is a meet and greet. I hope I get to a meet and greet this year.
Okay, Swampsters. While the cat is away playing his guitar, what kind of mischief are we going to get in to????
Whatever you are thinking, I'm game.

Spacey -ROFL --Since my 17-year old godson Dylan will be with me, I better forgo the rocks, but I like the idea!
Michael - I showed Dylan a video of you guys doing "jam" back in the old days; it is super high energy and Cory even climbs on Jimmy's keyboards. Just thought you should know what you have to live up to now in a teen boy's mind! No pressure of course - LOL!
Pam - the thought of "horse with no name" going though my head over and over and over and over and over like it did when they use to play the heck out of it on the radio when it was on the charts is actually making me have second thoughts about Spacey's suggestion! You hope Mikey kisses me?!!! Whoa- what did I do to deserve that wish!!!!

Yayyy!!! So looking forward to seeing Three Dog Night tomorrow night at the Orange County Fair. I will be bringing my sister Linda to her very first TDN show, and she is excited! Linda has had a very rough couple of years, with the death of her husband and the aftermath. So this is going to be a special treat for her. It will be great to see Nancy & James, Maria and her sis Kathleen! And of course Mikey and all the guys!
What a perfect way to start my birthday weekend! Maria ~~ thank you so much for the generous gift of the tickets. I'm sure we're going to have an awesome afternoon & evening!

Well Nancy, the length of time they play before 3DN comes on all depends on two things: 1) how many rocks you throw and 2) how good your aim is.

LOVED the photos! That barkeep has a smile that could melt steel. It starts on his face and just radiates through the crowd. Love to see him smile.

For those of you on FB, I posted a couple of pics from Watertown. Not the best, but I wasn't in a good picture-taking spot (like most everyone else). I was at the Barkeep's 2 o'clock position, but he was usually hidden from my view behind stage clutter. Dammit! Included a quick shot of the light show. Not quite in focus, but you'll get the idea.

Did any of you check out the Terry Redlin Center while in South Dakota? Sounded like a place I would like to visit. I really hated to miss a show within reasonable driving range, but too many other things going on. I will be seeing y'all at the Surf in a few weeks. There we will be so close to the band, I will have to be sure to shave my armpits if I wear something sleeveless. Or I could go with Patty Smith pits...I bet Michael would find that kind of distracting.
This is my last "full" week of summer vacation. It's back to school next week. Tonight Mr. T., who is a closet pyromanic, has a HUGE recreational campfire going (can't burn in town otherwise, must be recreational, not burning trash etc.) At one point, the flames were at least 20 feet high, scorching the leaves of the nearby trees. He's sitting on the riverside deck with the hose in one hand and a beer in the other...I'm sure his eyebrows and hair will be crispy by morning.
Have a great week, Swampsters!

Barkeep, one of those shows you'll be doing next week is here in SoCal, in Costa Mesa at the Pacific Amphitheatre where Donna, Nancy, and I will be! Don't have the best seats in the place but I hear the sound is better the farther back you sit! =o) See ya Friday night and maybe we'll get to say hi for a second.

Andwa,
Sounds like you guys had a great time. I've been following you and living vicariously through your concert days. I can't wait to get back in the swing. I will.
Barkeep, you do get around these days. I hear you guys were being escourted to your rooms the other day. Is that to keep you from planting some on the ladies in the crowd? Do tell.........
Anyway, it's good to have you back in the Swamp. We have missed your presence and music and uh, the booze hasn't been the same since you left. Gotta get those boys to stop watering it down. I know you gotta make a buck, but I sure need a couple of good stiff drinks. (Don't tell them that I tattled.)
See you all soon at a concert, I hope.
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the Utube appearances. Next best thing to the real thing.

Barkeep
ANDWA: Yes, that was a wonderful light show "yall" gave us. For those of you who weren't there, it was the proverbial "sea of lighters" being waved. Really quite beautiful. ALL of the band loved that.
Unfortunately, the bandstand was just too far from the audience. It was STRIKING ... the look and all, but just too far from the audience. Although I don't really like the "big screen" thing ... it would have been helpful and appropriate at that venue. Still, it was a lovely (wet) evening and a lot of wonderful people. I was laughing on stage and singing to the crew "ohhhhhhhh, we're bouncing, waving our arms and we're making big stage movements ... so it will look more natural from way out there. La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, etc." Ha. That's the simple truth of those kind of things. It makes it a little hard to relate to the audience when there's that much separation (distance plus an iron gate that wound around the perimeter). All in all it was wonderful. I just love the open air feel up here in South Dakota. Going back home for just a couple of days, but looking forward to it. Then back out and more shows. Looking forward to that, as well. -M-

Another fun show tonight, Barkeep! Even the rain didn't dampen our spirits. It really didn't amount to much anyway. Tried to get a couple pics for the newsletter, but I was too far away. Ah well.
Susan, was great to see you tonight as well as our red-headed neighbor to the north. Always nice to see you gals! And I will again in about a month. :-)

Andwa, Didn't get to this concert, either but I sure enjoyed the 'Prayers of the Children' on Utube. The guys still got it, what can I say? It was so lovely, hearing all the voices in harmony singing the loveliest of melodies. I can't wait for the album to come out. Heartwrenching lyrics.
Pam, turned OFF the AC? Oh, I am coming right over. We are in the 100+ for I don't know how many days. A few days ago it was 114. This is NOT Northeastern Oklahoma weather. This stuff belongs in AZ or some desert. All of my trees are dropping leaves like it's fall and despite my best efforts, almost everything in my yard is dying. No matter how much water I put on them, the heat gets them anyway. UGH! If this really does take everything, I'm going to put in a rock and cactus garden. Forget green for a while.
Well, I've been battling a sore throat and cough with OTC medicine for about a week so I finally went to the doctor today. Got some medicine for the symptoms. It's a virus but it's kicking my behind and Chris is coming home tomorrow and I need to be on top of my game.
I have missed him so much! I have missed his company. He is 6'7" tall so his presence in the house is big as well. It seems empty without him. I can't wait to bring him home from the hospital. It'll mean a lot of extra work, driving back and forth to doctor and rehab appointments and stuff, but the alternative is unthinkable. Lily will have to get adjusted to having to share me again. She has had my undivided attention while he has been gone.
Life is good. Life is wonderful. Every day is a gift.
God bless us all.

The concert last night was fantastic, even with a temp of 106 at show time. Though they had to be miserable, you wouldn't have known it. Cory was smiling from the start. I finally got to hear "Prayer of the Children" live and it didn't disappoint. What a song! Cory gave a moving tribute to Rob Grill. The Grassroots are performing here tonight and Cory talked about the loss of his dear friend. I felt honored to be there and share in his tribute. Thanks, guys!

Rosie: Are you allowed to bring coolers? If so, freeze some bottles of water beforehand and carry them in a cooler. At the venue, you can place them in your armpits and hold them there. Not the prettiest site I agree, but it's an effective way of bringing down a fever so it will probably keep you from getting overheated. You can wrap them in washclothes to catch any drips. As they thaw, you can drink the water. Hope you have a good time despite the weather.
-Tuesday, August 02, 2011 at 13:52:37 (MST)
Pam T.
Jill- Hope you are able to stay comfortable tonight in the dangerous heat. I also worry about the guys getting overheated. It's hot here to the north of you too, but after today it should improve. Have a great time tonight. With any luck, Michael will be wearing those chaps Susan was referring to... he'll catch more breeze if it's "chaps only." Something to think about???
We had a great day yesterday at beautiful Lake Okoboji. While the kids sweat it out at the amusement park, Mr. T. and I cruised around the lakes onboard The Queen II, a replica steamship of an early 1900's model named The Queen. We may have to come back in October when the fall colors appear...
RE: Kisses from the stage. Brings to mind a particularly wild show a few years back where a nimble young minx lept onto the stage intent on kissing the guys. Both Danny and Cory tried to resist her lips... they were trying to sing, but Michael didn't put up a fight. He kept on strumming as she layed a big one on him. Very impressive. Recall that, Minnesota girlfriends?

Rosalee - Thank you for the nice words. I appreciate it. However, if you could see the friend I'm sitting beside tonight, you'd know how I feel.
Spacey - Flip flops were known as thongs to me too. It's taken me forever to change that in my brain.
We are having the hottest day since 1954. It's going to be 108 today and this is not dry desert heat, it's HUMID, so it will feel even hotter. I'm taking every possible thing I can think of to try to deal with the heat at the concert tonight. I get ill when I get overheated and it's not a pretty sight! I worry about the guys performing in this heat. It's going to be brutal.
Try to stay cool, everyone!

Firstly, I just sent an email to the barkeep and it bounced back: I made a typo and it said "furryoldgrower". How Vancouver can you get?
As for thongs, that's what we called flip flops back when I was a kid. As for cuffs, are you talking about handcuffs?

Jill, I have met you and you are NOT frumpy. No one would guess you are middle aged.
I'm thinking the guys ought to wear some thongs and some cuffs. Nothing else. Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah.
Now Michael has already made his views on too much skin in the audience known, but onstage is a whole different animal.
Hey, Barkeep, You might make a little extra dough. Money is good.
Togas would be my second choice of attire. Then we Swampsters can yell, "Togas up!" and get a peek. WOO HOO!!!!

Neck cooling wrap, misting fan, iced bottles of water, etc... It takes a bit of fun out of the event, but it's either that or not go. To make it even better, my friend who is going with me doesn't sweat. She always looks cool and together. I'd like to smack her, but it's not her fault, anymore than my way off-kilter body thermometer is my fault. *sigh* Oh, I can't wait to see Mikey's face when he sees my friend and he WILL notice her.

Don't you just love those moments when everything in the Universe lines up? Sitting by a lake? Where are you, Alaska? It's too hot here to sit anywhere except IN the lake. Barkeep, we need some REAL big frozen Margaritas down on the South end of the bar. I'll take strawberry, please.

sitting by the lake reading a wonderful book .....One-Summer- by David-Baldacci. Seem you guys are not just heard in movies or commercials but also admired in the literary world as there was a nice mention of the wonderful music of Three Dog Night in David's book! Such a great feeling just reading along and there pops up "Three Dog Night" and my cell phone goes off with Danny signing "Black and White"!!

Peeking in to say, "Boo" and Congrats to Spacey. You lucky girl! Half that crowd would have given their eye teeth to be you at that moment.
(((Michael))), a gentleman as always.
It's so quiet here right now. Lily is asleep and the house is silent. I need to soak in a hot tub for hours but I hate to end the stillness, even with running water. Sometimes it's good to just sit, and it's been SO LONG since I've been able to do that. My alter ego was just telling me the floors need to be swept, the dishes put away, and there is a load of clothes I could wash, but I am sitting right here and doing NOTHING. Well, at least for the next few minutes.
Goodnight, Sweet Swampsters. Don't forget to say your prayers and thank God for your many blessings.
Take care and God bless.

At the end of last night's show, Michael comes up to where I was parked at the edge of the stage, (literally holding onto it instead of my cane. He's pulling his guitar back so he can kneel down and I thought he was handing me a guitar pick, but instead he kissed me in front of a full house!

Sad to read about Wynnie ,may she rest in peace. Amy Winehouse joining the 27 Club wasn't much of a surprise ,she's been on that path for a long time.Winehouse released one brilliant lp, "Back to Black ," and one spotty lp ,"Frank," in her lifetime.Too bad her career was so short,she could have been a contender.

I'm so sad to hear of Lynn's passing. We met several times, we corresponded frequently several years ago and she truly was a funny, friendly & sweet person. Sharon had the opportunity to do the pictures for Cory's induction into the Buffalo Hall of Fame and we met Lynn there at the club that the "Enemies" were performing that night. I remember Lynn standing next to me and she spotted Jimmy about 4 feet away. She asked me if I thought he would get mad if she spoke to him...I replied "absolutely he's really mean". The look of fear on her face was wonderful, but then, of course she knew that I was kidding and we had a good laugh.
I will refrain from using the word "was" about Lynn. She has completed her work in this realm and has just moved on the her next challenge. She will always be with us, in our hearts and our memories. And we are all better people for having known her.
Miss you Wynnie ((((((((())))))))!

Oh my goodness, I am so saddened to learn of Lynn's passing. I don't get to check into the Swamp as frequently as I used to, but something just told me to come here today ~~ and now I see why. Although it's been a while since I had been in touch with Lynn, I remember her as being bright, funny, vital ~~ so full of life. We never had the pleasure of meeting in person, but I very much enjoyed knowing her. So very sad to lose another dear person to cancer.
My heartfelt condolences to Lynn's family and to those of you who had such a close connection with her; I know how much you are going to miss your precious friend. We have our Angelic Healing / Prayer Circle tonight ~ and I am going to send extra special blessings to Lynn during the circle.

Susie, you asked for some funny stories about Lynn? Well I could give you about a million of those. Instead I'll share an email she sent me a few years back after one of her many trips to Boston to see her eye specialist. Just a heads up, it's kinda long, but classic Lynnie and one of the funniest things I've ever read in my life.
"Clara, Clara, Clara...my mother nearly did me in this Boston trip. That, I guarantee you, is her LAST trip to Boston....oh my God, I can't even begin to tell you...can't play the radio as she doesn't want to hear any more depressing news, can't listen to CD's as she gets sick of hearing music, can't open the window as it's too drafty.
I thought about your father....as she wanted to have dinner at 2 pm Thursday and Friday....I had to tell her six times that the restaurant in the hotel did not open for dinner until 5....great food, good service...a nice but very typical limited hotel restaurant menu....steaks, chicken, fish...
What does she want? A sandwich....both nights....which is NOT on the menu...
Flooded the bathroom with the shower....flooded the coffeemaker by making a kleenex coffee filter...was up at 4:30 am, even though my appointment was not until 11:15...next day, same thing....even though it did not get light until about 7 am....hey, I was so fed up, I plunged wildly off in the dark just to get the hell home...
She has this thing now about getting wet, like she's gonna catch cold and die or something...so of course it was MY fault that it was raining in Boston.....arggggghhhhhh......THEN she wanted to sit IN THE SOUTH STATION TRAIN TERMINAL FOR FIVE HOURS and wait for a train even though they had been saying on the news all day and in the paper that Boston was targeted for terrorist activity on the weekend....and she was MAD that I refused to do that....thank God we had just enough time to catch an early commuter rail out of town....
The train was not evn OUT of the station yet and she had to go to the bathroom....which was then 5 cars away on the train....and she couldn't find me when she was done....THEN....oh God....she sat back down, loudly announced that she was "full of gas" and proceeded to reach up under her shirt, undo her bra and pull it off, and out of her sleeve.....I could have died.....just died...I'm afraid to even think about what my blood pressure is.....LOL..."
I will miss everything about that dear girl. Clara

Another Wynnie tidbit. She would always send me a B-day card. But she would send it a month early. She always said she was scared she might forget & I would get it late. She said to open it when I felt like it. Considerate & funny! That was just Wynnie. When Nancy mentioned Wynnie & Clara coming up to us At Turning Stone, it brought back that memory so vividly. And before the night was over we had our first of many hockey talks.

If it wasn't for Three Dog Night, I would not have known Wynnie. I'll never forget being at Turning Stone casino the first time, seeing two women get off the elevator as my husband and I waited to get on, and tentatively asking, "Are you Wynnie and Clara?" Thus began a wonderful evening of laughter and great music.
Wynnie and I didn't see each other very often but we exchanged birthday and Christmas cards and e-mails. We often talked about books we were reading - critiquing and making suggestions to each other.
We are all diminished by losing her. I am deeply grateful that our paths crossed.
Strong hugs to all,

The thing I admired most about Wynnie was her absolute devotion to her mom. I also admired that when she faced problem after problem, she still laughed. If heaven didn't have a laughing section before, it does now.
And to TDN - you brought many of us together, and to be mentioned in Wynnie's obituary - don't ever doubt the impact you have made on the world.
Thank you Michael, once again, for providing this safe place of friendship.
To Wynnie - we celebrate you.

I just know that I will miss those e-mails and her one-liners. She was a funny lady, that's for sure. and, of course, our phone calls!
We seemed to like watching the same TV shows and every morning there would be an e-mail about what we had watched the night before. Every show I watch now will be laced with memories of my dear friend. Sometimes she would go on and on about hockey and I would have to remind her.....No, it's me you're talking to! Not Ray! She sure did get excited about hockey.
We are blessed to have known her and her memory will live on forever in our hearts.

I am in tears. Lynnie and met on the guess Who board where she was Arrevedirci Girl after one of the Gusss Who songs, I think from #10, the green album.
Our emaills were fabulous, our phone calls even better. I often called her to check on how she was doing with her Alzheimers mother. A few years back her brotherin law died suddenly. It was Wynnie, her sister and her Mom left. Wynnie was terribly burdened with caring for her mom by Herself. She was amazing to have managed it.
I could share just about any sick joke with her. We'd share the Guess Who and Three Dog Night stories. Hockey stories. Did anymone ever hear about the time she met Derek Sanderson? That was a good one.
I'm sorry, I have to go... this is just too awful for me right now.
Love you Wynnie!
BTW, she nick named me Spacey, shoretend from Sapce Cadet.

Ray Honey & Judy
Wynnie was my hockey buddy. When her & Judy would be talking on the phone, I would break in & we would talk hockey. After her Sabres, her favorite team was Boston. And they won the Cup this year. A couple of years ago Judy & I drove to Erie to meet Lynn & her sister Donna for lunch at a Cracker Barrel. We sat on the rocking chairs for over 3 hours talking. Once Lynn & Donna came to our house in Pittsburgh & the 4 of us went to a show in WV. Lynn said she was so scared of all the hills & mountains in Pa. I told her wait til she sees WV. When Donna called last week and told us the situation we were so stunned. Up until the last month her & Judy would email everyday. Then that stopped. And we thought something was up but never suspected. She was a true friend & I will miss her so much. I'm sure Judy will add something tomorrow.

Wynnie spent time at TDN shows with all kinds of people. Bar Keep, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask those of you who knew Wynnie and have a great memory to share, please post it here.
I'll start......
Several years ago I met up with Wynnie and the other girls in Niagara Falls, Canada to see TDN. We all met for dinner and drinks pre-show. At that time I was going through menopause and having serious hot flashes. One minute I was sitting there fine, the next minute I turned bright red and rivers of sweat started running down my face. Wynnie was sitting next to me and when she saw what was happening she said "Gee Susie, until now I've never known anyone with an internal body temperature of 400 degrees, but now I can go back to work and tell everyone about you! I laughed so hard my tummy hurt! What a sense of humor she had! I will always remember that moment!
Anyone else with a memory?
Hugs,
Susie

We were all of 15 miles from home but, of course, we had to stay overnight for 2 nights so as not to miss the party.....and party, we did! The band at the bar was called the Smicks.

Hi back 'atcha Pam! Of course I remember you from Rama. That was the first time we met (but hopefully not the last). That was a great weekend too....which also set off a heat wave as I remember. We're supposed to get to 114 F on Thursday, which is saying something for Canada. Funny how every time I see a TDN show seems to set off a heat wave ;-) Go figure!

Hi Clara! Nice to see you at the BSS. We met last summer at Casino-Rama.
I bet Ray-Honey and Miss Judy were at the PA show-
The heat is REALLY on! Wow...I think the heat index was over 110 by midafternoon. I splashed around the swimming pool and that was about all I did outside today, just too hot!
Barkeep- A jagermeister smoothie, please. Take care tomorrow in MO. You're gonna have to restrain yourself during Heart of Blues when the music kinda takes over your body. Andwa said no over exertion in this heat!

Fabulous show in PA on the weekend. The venue was elegant, and the sound was great from where I was sitting. I heard you were all a bit sleep deprived due to travel problems, but you'd never know it from the show you put on the stage. I completely enjoyed it all. That was my first time hearing Prayer, and let me tell you, it was so beautiful, I think I forgot to breathe! You all looked so focused while you were doing that, you had the crowd mesmerized. Thank you for giving such a memorable performance. It made the crazy drive from Canada all worthwhile.

Thank you all for your kind words. It's nice to be remembered. You're making me blush.
Mike, Pam is right. It's going to be a scorcher of a day for the Kirksville show. You guys are pros and know by now how to deal with the weather, but please be especially careful that day. Stay well hydrated and don't over exert yourselves. I will be in town but not sure if I'll actually go to the show. Depends on how hot the day is. This fat old woman doesn't do so well in the heat. Will have to wait and see.
But even if I don't go to the show, I can still have a nice little vacation. Thinking on the way home I could stop by Riverside, IA, future birthplace of Cpt. James T. Kirk, and also stop by Dyersville and visit the "Field of Dreams" movie set. Always enjoy going there.
Thanks again to you all for being the swell folks that you are!! :-)

Another fun show by our beloved Dogs tonight in Chippewa Falls (sounds like some place out of a Bullwinkle cartoon)! I was at the extreme left of the stage this time (to Mike's right). Had lots of stage stuff in our way, so not so good viewing as in Waterloo, but I've been in worse spots! Not sure, but I think I got a wave from Danny this time. Wow! Mike, did we get a wink from you? So much junk in the way, I wasn't sure. Sorry you had such trouble. You looked a bit frustrated for a while. Glad you guys were able to straighten things out.
Gonna try downloading some pics into FB. Never quite figured out how to do that, so it's only by luck that I get it done. I'll send some to Madonna for the newsletter.
Rob: Got your text msg. Very funny! Maybe you should consider changing the pup's food so you don't get ralphed on again! ;-)
Oh, one more thing, Mike. Pat's "horsie," what the hell was that all about?!?!?

Rob- Are you going to Burton Cummings or Brian Wilson? I would love to go to both! As for the booths, they are nice...very nostalgic...but there's a serious lack of nose hair in that area, know what I mean?
A big day in the "T" household...we replaced the old beat up front door with a brand new craftsman style door which Mr. T. will paint a gorgeous aurora brown. Of course, that will lead to upgrading the steps and landscaping around the beautiful door. Then new lighting...
Two of my kids are going to the midnight showing of the final Harry Potter movie tonight. The oldest daughter is wearing her bathrobe and the youngest made the lightning bolt scar on her forehead like Harry's.

I'm so sad to hear about Rob Grill. I have great memories of concerts where both The Grass Roots and TDN appeared.
Gerene-sorry we missed you! I wore my hat most of the time, tho I had to remove it a few times, as I was getting over heated (no ventilaation in that hat). We were looking for you, but you must have zigged when we zagged. Maybe next time. It sure was fun, anyway. We were sitting way in the back, and too many people kept yakking during the show, but it was a great road trip for my sisters and I, we don't get to spend a lot of time together. We all bought t-shirts for ourselves, and one for the sister who couldn't go. There was a guy sitting next to me, who looked at my hat and told me he raises frogs to eat. Told him I didn't care to eat frog legs myself, and he stopped talking to me. Hmm. Sis said he seemed like he'd had a snootful. But Snoflake made a new friend, the lady sitting next to her, wanted to be part of our "frog club", so we made her an honorary member and gave her a frog ball. I have pics of them "dressing" the balls up with hats and sunglasses.
Susan-sorry I missed seeing you, too!
I enjoyed the new song Prayer Of The Children-very nice guys! Was great to hear Heart Of Blues again, also. Great show, we couldn't see you, but heard you just fine!

Well, like Barkeep I was working Saturday night supervising my crew pumping out those Funnel Cakes. Luckily I did make a buck, but I was bummed I was less than 100 miles from Waterloo! So we start our countdown to Wisconsin Dells on Sept 3. I will have to settle for the local Whitesidewalls, and Johnny Holm band in the meantime.

We really did have a great time at the Waterloo show. We were in the EXTREME nose hair section and I must say, I liked it. A lot. I actually have some good pictures including one of Pat taking the drum cam picture with us in it! The lady next to me was continually gushing about the guitarist...I'd print what she said, but it would probably embarrass our very modest Barkeep.
Prayer of the Children was so special. Thank you for singing that for us...it caused me a few tears. It was beautiful. (((TDN)))

Hello Swampsters!(waving)
What a loverly evening we were granted Friday night.
I am 40 years old and was raised on Three Dog Night, my dearly departed Daddy's
favorite band.
I can't begin to tell you how fabulous it was seeing them for the first time.
I could just hear and see my Daddy singing through the house with most
every song played.
Wish I could have met up with Wowa and Susan but their frog hats must
have fallen off. :)
Mr Allsup, thank you to you and the other fine Sirs that put on a super show.
The only downfall was that I wanted to hear more!
Thank you kindly and I do hope to see you all again real soon.

Morning, Swampsters. Just got back from another TDN trip and, man, am I tired! Got no sleep in the hotel last night. Whoever was in the room above me kept walking around with heavy footsteps until about 2:30 a.m. and kept me awake. Well, that and the air conditioner clicking on and off. And the refrigerator. Plus my knee was screamingly painful. But taking all of that into account, I still had a good time! At the casino, met up with Pam and Tom T and my lovely red-headed neighbor to the north. Before the show, we gals hung out and gabbed while Tom heaaded out to give the casino some of his money. Better luck next time, Tom! Anyway, at the show, we ladies were right up front (almost underfoot!) dancing and singing our hearts out. What fun! Can't wait to do it again.
Mike: So nice to get that "good morning" greating from you. Always nice to see your smiling face! Thought about asking you to join me but thought maybe you'd prefer some quiet time to yourself.
Well, I'm exhausted. Must ice my knee again and then I'm off to bed to try to get a couple hours of sleep before going to the PRR show tonight.
Take care, all!

Happy Independence Day Everyone! Sorry this was a tad late, but the grandkids are here and we have just removed and installed new carpet in the boudoir. Not HAD it installed, installed it. Moved several hundred pounds of furniture, tore up carpet and pad (388 square feet), and Kilz on everything that didn't move, painted all the walls, doors, and trim, then reinstalled carpet and pad.I was so sick of brown carpet and tan walls that I just HAD to do something and I did. All in 3 days. I am tired, everything hurts, and I NEED a drink. A REAL DRINK. Not a mixed drink, not a beer, not a glass of Chardonnay. A DRINK.
What do ya'll suggest? I need something to make me sleep, deep and sound. Something to soothe all those muscles I didn't know I had that are now screaming. Suggestions, anyone?
Take care, All. God bless America! God bless us all.

Spacey,
No, just two like everyone else, but I had to flash him 3 times. He's a very sensitive guy- don't p*ss him off! On the other hand, maybe he just saw something he liked and wanted more. Who knows?
I wish there was a Tulsa Turnaround in the near future. Living in Tulsa and within driving distance from Dallas, I'd be on the road faster than you could flick a fly. On the other hand, it's been over 100 here in Tulsa for several days. Which brings to mind a question; "Why are the outdoor TDN concerts here in the SUMMER????"!!!! Geez, Louise! Everytime they are in Dallas it's on the hottest day of the year. I feel sorry for all of us, including the poor band members. I don't mind sweating at a concert, 'Leave Your Hat On' makes me do that naturally anyway, but I don't want heat stroke. Dallas and Tulsa have absolutely lovely weather here most of the year with the exception of July, August, September, and some days in January. I can put on a coat, but there's only so much you can take off and still show your face in the morning. Well, at my age anyway.
Lucy, welcome to Gropette Land. That blue suit looks good on you, Girlfriend! It was wonderful to talk to you yesterday. I love your accent, too. Can't wait to get together with you, Andwa, and the rest in November. Gonna make some noise and rock the house! Look out Treasure Island!!! Here come The Gals of The Swamp aka Wild Wimmens!
You all have a great day. Think happy thoughts for me. I'm taking ANOTHER test today. This one is the final and is worth 3 credits. I'm scared. It's all about Trig. UGH! Gotta remember the formulas. I've had my banana, whole grain toast and slim cream cheese, and working on the coffee. BOOYA!

It's me again, Margaret. I forgot to tell you which show! It's the Treasure Island Show on November 18.
That Math test today just sucked all the juice right outta my head!

PS. Had to flash the bouncer 3 times (and counting) to get in this time. He must be PO'ed at me for telling the barkeep on him for falling asleep. Sorry, Charlie! He sure takes this stuff personal!

Spacey, you are too cute!
Gropettes, Lucy Rector has spoken to the person responsible for selling the tickets and she said that we should get a head count. She will call Lucy and make sure to block out front row seats for us as soon as the tickets go on sale. Woo Hoo! She is also willing to book our hotel rooms at a nearby hotel and give us discount group rates. Please let Lucy or myself know ASAP if you will attend so we can be sure that everyone is given a seat up front and a group rate on your hotel. Michael, perhaps you can give us all a big squeeze after the show? A "Gropette Hug"? I wonder if this will be the first one?
Okay, back to bathtime for the baby. Just wanted to pass this along so we can all get organized early.
Looking forward to it!!!!!!!!

Hey, sneaked in the back door again. Barkeep, the bouncer is sleeping. You gotta wake that guy up! On the other hand, it's kind of nice not to get my hand stamped. That purple naked lady ink impression doesn't really work with my outfit.
Anyway, just dropped by for a "howdy doo" and Happy Birthday wishes to Miss Pam. Sounds like it was wonderful. We all need a little Norman Rockwell once in a while.
Looks like we are gonna have a 'Gropettes weekend' sometime in the winter. We are trying to organize something around the Orlando/Tampa area. All you ladies who don't FB should check in with us and let us know when it's a good time for you. We'll keep you all posted about the wheres and whens. It's going to be fun. Seems like 6 or 7 of us have already committed and are excited.

It's great to see some of the "oldies" posting today. If Mikey came around more, I'm sure people would pop in more often. Those early days were so much fun and it's those memories that bring us back, if only to lurk. Not that there isn't fun here now, but it's different, at least to me.

Peter filmed an episode of "Columbo" at my high school in 1973 or 1974 (I think you were at the other school by then Maria). That day was the one and only day I ever ditched class so I could watch some of the filming. (And then ended up sneaking off campus with one of the camera guys. But I made him bring me back when I realized he had naughty things in mind, and I was still a naive, sweet young thing!)

Jill,
It hasn't been SO long since I've heard most of those names and I'm a real 'newbee'. Perhaps we can get them on again. I wish I had discovered the Swamp before I did. Might have made things a whole lot easier. You guys that have been around a while are so 'in the know' about the band. I'm still trying to catch up.
I'm celebrating today. I am almost through with 3 of my classes. That's 8 credits in 3 weeks! I have just remastered the Pythagorean Theorum. Whew! That's harder to spell than it is to get. What a crock. I think 'math geniuses' are here to intimidate the rest of us. This stuff is coming to me now like an old friend. I may apply to change my major to engineering. It pays a lot more and I've discovered that this stuff ain't so hard. Okay, back to the party, just wanted to give myself a 'shout out'.
Again, love to all Swampsters. Contact any of the old gang you can reach. Let's fill the joint!

The old gang goes back many years. I've been here for over 10 years and I'm not one of the originals. I can't begin to think of every name right now. Some of them post now and then, but here are some that aren't here often anymore: Pam L., Colleen, Liz, Sharon, Freddismom (Mary), Soaring Nancy, Donna, Maria, Tonette & Sammi Lynn. I know I am leaving out many that haven't popped into my head yet. Interesting how many of these are women's names... like ALL of them. There were some guys too, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. Who am I forgetting, Spacey?

Spacey, Good suggestion!
Brakeep, lots of liquids and some over the counter stuff to dry your brochies up ought to do it. No hoochin' while you are taking that stuff, although Nyquil will kill those 2 birds with one stone. I am allergic to Benedryl but before I was, I would sure get some quick relief from that stuff. Get some rest as well.
Hey, where's Ligress and White Indian? Those girls have been gone for a LONG time. It's time for a reunion. Let's put the word out and get all the old gang back out to the Swamp.
Yep, LOVE the new paint in the redecorated ladies room. HOT pink paint! Who'de have thunk it? Thanks for the "Playgirls", Brakeep. You must have got some strange looks when you picked those up at the store, though. Sorry about that, but we gals sure appreciate the thought. I'm partial to Mr. November myself. His fur coat with nothin' underneath is a real enticement to move to Alaska. Yummy! Nowonder Spacey is hollerin'! Whoo Hoo!
Norm, I'll take some of that hooch and raise a glass to ya! This is the best you have made in a long time. Seems like you might have cleaned the barrel before you made a new batch? What's the secret? We won't tell.
Big hugs to you all!

Hewwo all.
Starwight Deb: I had the same problem with Firefox. Go into your preferences and adjust the color for the font. Mine ended up set to BLACK, thus you couldn't see it. I bet if you hold your clicker down and move it across the saloon page in firefox ... you will see the text. Just go in and change the text to white or something. That fixed it for me. Although, the page itself has the text in a soft purple color. When I reload to see if any body has posted since I posted ... the text now turns to white. Oh sweet mystery of life ... thank god I've found you.
I'm tired. Show done tonight. Fun, but I'm just getting over some bronchial funk and I still don't feel good. Sooooooo I'll just say it's good to see you all drifting back in again. Really it is. -M-

Thanks, Andwa. This will do.
I am black and blue from all "youze guys" pinching me! One more time and the clothes go back on! I mean it!
Now Andwa, no wallflowers allowed, you gotta take your turn at the pole. Slide up to the bar and have some of that jaegermeister and you'll be feeling like dancing in no time. You don't have to go solo. Jill and I will be on the poles on either side. No one has to drink or dance alone in the Swamp. You've been here from the first so you know the rules. Lots of skin, lots of booze, lots of fun.

I don't know what you all have been drinking in here, but by golly let's serve it more often!

I might be able to make a few bucks with these, if my pole dancing career doesn't pan out. I sure wish I still had that story from the night you posted it here.

Yey. Melons. Now we can make melon balls.
Ice
1 part your favorite vodka
1 part melon liqueur (recommended: Midori or generic brand)
Orange juice
Various melon balls (cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon - using all 3 is called "Triple-Lindy" and is definitely money)
Directions
This drink can be served straight up or on the rocks.
If making straight up: To a cocktail shaker, add ice, vodka, melon liqueur, and a splash orange juice; shake vigorously to combine. Strain into a large, chilled martini glass and garnish with melon balls.
If making drink on the rocks: Fill rocks glass with ice. Add vodka, melon liqueur and enough orange juice to fill glass. Stir with either a stirrer or straw. Garnish with melon balls.

Am I wrong, or have we all collectively recaptured our Saloon Labido on a "show me how you missed me" level? Excellente'. I don't have a clue what that meant, but I DO have a propensity to ramble after dinner and a couple glasses of cheap wine. Si, cheap. My concept is: It's easy to find a good expensive bottle of wine. The trick is to find a good CHEAP bottle of wine that makes you happy. In my case ... slap happy. All wimmens o' de sloon: Consider yourself pinched. -M-

So a funny thing came to me a few days ago. I am revisiting College Algebra for the first time in 25+ years. I was struggling with it and asked myself, "Why do I have to learn this &^%^*** again? I haven't used this crap since the last time I learned it!"
Well, the answer came to me and made me laugh out loud. "Because you are the teacher.....Because you are the teacher...."
Geez, I don't know what gets into me sometimes.
Ya'll, let's have some fun at the old Swamp.
Someone tell a joke. Someone put something to make us want to jump around on the old jukebox. That pole dancin' music isn't doing it for me right now. I want some ROCK!!!!
Chef Steve, what's on the grill?
Hey, I need a new 'handle'. I've been trying to think of one but nothing seems to fit. Suggestions? (Be nice now!)

Are you collectin' underthings again? I'll have to get into the chifferobe and scrounge around to see what I can find. I do have some 'lacies', but it's been so long since they've been used, I don't know where to start lookin'!
Let's have some of those underthings from our gentlemen, too. Hey, I'm sure they got thongs!

You remember all those years ago when I used to make jokes about us fans taking you to the local Lazy Boy store and settin down in the recliners and going to sleep? I found out there is one that's walking distance from the venue you is playin on July 23. (like I could walk that far). Such a tempation. Wish you'd stick around the nest day for some sushi or the best Chinese food in the world. We have been declared the place for the best Chinese because all the top chefs come here to work and we have better and fresher ingredianst than in the Orient. I would love to show you around.

Last fall I had a lot of computer learning to do with the new Library system. Fortunately I was able to do it with no problem. Kinda surprised me, in a good way!
To those who watched the Decorah eagles nest- all three eaglets sucessfully left the nest recently!

Jill: Is snot runnink. Is snot hidingk. Is happy that the road from the interstate to the swamp is open again. Damn gators, anyway. Si, today even I can access the saloon using standard methods. Foggy (Gretchen) 'splained it to me in an email. She was exactly right. Hosts around the country update their "links", for lack of better word (DNS) at different times. Most do it in the wee wee hours when traffic is minimal. Others do as they please. The result: Our access pops in at different intervals. Vewy intewestink, indeed. Whatever. I'm so glad that I got through the process. I was surprised what I remembered from almost 10 years ago. VERY surprised. Ha. Course it took some hanging out in with techs and hearing the talk again. I'm feeling quite uppity yall ... that this process didn't bite the big one in the process. (don't go there, Spacey. .... oh, what the hell. Go there.)

Actually, I got here from the main/index page. I figured the Swamp's address might get altered so just kept checking to see if the index was up yet. Tonight it was, so followed the link and Bob's your uncle. Propogation is a funny thing when you change DNS servers. Some folks get it right away and others have to wait a day or two.

And do you know that ... I have no idea how you guys are posting here. The only way I can access this saloon is to go into (what is supposed to be a) private preview website until the host change is complete. But here you are, so whatdehelldoIknow? Ha. Actually my new host said it would be between 2 hours and 48 hours for it to become active. Currently when I try when I try to reach the saloon or even the homepage on my website ... it isn't working yet. But again: HERE YOU ARE. Ha. Go figure. Maybe bit by bit the transfer of the website from one host to another will take place. I thought it would be an all at once thang. Anyway, I'm glad you found it. Have at it swampsters. I'd be interested in knowing what URL you guys are using to get here. Probably the same old one as before, meaning http;//www.michaelallsup.com/saloon.htm
