     Hey there CG!  About to flee the ICEcube here at work, but thought I’d stop in and say hey there… hope to get a 10 up later if all goes well.  I may have to have a martini (Hendricks, of course) tonight to wrap up another week from the nether regions … but then we also want to shop a bit and see the Gore movie, so we’ll see what wins out.  At this point I’m thinking a quick trip to Target, Popeye’s Chicken for dinner and movies at home in the cool house tonight, since we’re in the inferno/humidity thing ourselves for the next week or so…

     Did you see my note yesterday (I believe it was?) about the Zanfel for poison ivy?  You may want to check into that for CBtY…  Sorry to do a drive by posting but have to wrap up a few more things before I flee… Hope you and all the FBL gang have a great weekend!!!

         they also shipped two of the books in Arcadia’s Images of Rail series (that I spotted for the spouse), and a book on Portland hill walks that was on sale; we’re hoping for a Portland jaunt sometime next year.

         I gotta stay away from the Powell’s website; it’s hazardous to my budget… 😉

     You have a wonderful list there. Anyone who can put The Vestibules, Devo, Moxy Fruvous and Blondie all on thesame list is OK by me.

       It really showcases my 80s and musical humor biases. My iTunes knows me well.

   but I feel a little bit Stevie Nicks tonight so does that count?  I have heard back though from my Unicef contact and my U.N. contact for the story on the children in Nepal.  Now my U.N. email was just an email letting me know I was being handed off but it is still very cool and I haven’t even dialed a phone yet.

     ask on July 14, 2006 at 8:24 pm

     Hi Tracy,
     Don’t know what your Unicef-contact may have sent you.  Meanwhile, try these:
     Unicef – Nepal
     UNDP – Nepal
