I have no job. well, paper route, but that don't count really. hehehe...

I'm hoping to make my cash as a musician... that's my dream. how am I to do it, you ask? with my saxophone. I play alto, tenor, and C-melody saxophones, as well as clarinet, and I'm working on the guitar at the moment.

and that's all I got.

and the Men who hold high places... I dunno. Bush? (shudder).

Humans are a very unique animal. Other animals have their children walking within hours, and within a year the babies are off being independant. But with humans, we have this huge task in raising children and teaching them skills. We keep them around for at least 18 years before we let them go off and take a stab at independance. Not only must we teach them how to survive by learning to eat and communicate and prepare food,etc... not only must we teach them how to earn a living so that they do not remain dependant upon us until we die... but we have to teach them all this stuff about right and wrong and good and evil. When we fail to to do this societies crumble. It has happened time and time again throughout history.

Dawn, there is no greater calling in this life than that of raising honest, moral, and productive children. When I hear about how seriously you take this calling, and when I see the evidences of what remarkable children you have, it really saddens me how few people like you there are out there. You are doing an amazing work, and you are to be commended and honored.

Exactamundo Elfie, you nailed it. AWIP 2062, you just rock, plain and simple.

Wow. More encouragement. Careful guys, I might ged used to it and keep at my "job."

And thanks again. Really.

Wait, I thought you and the kids were rehearsing every day to become the rocking version of the Partridge Family! I was so geared up to be the next Reuben Kincade (Myghin gets to be Danny Bonadouchebag)

You were just waiting to force that tambourine into the youngest one's hands... weren't you?

We'll have to see who's good at what. In this version, the tambourine will be replaced by a goo-spraying power-gun to soak the crowd. Hey, they are looking for a keyboardist who doesn't mind catching fire from time-to-time...interested?

I think I'll leave the catching on fire to Michael Jackson and the drummer for Spinal Tap...

That's what I was trying to say Elf, but I'm no parent, thanks for putting it down. I meant that you have one of the most important jobs, T, and that it's more than just work!


FORMER drummer for Tap

The youngest one DOES play keyboards. She has her first recital 20 May, but she will not be setting herself on fire.

The goo-spraying power-gun to soak the crowd sounds more like an Eagle sort of thing. Or H! Actaully, they would be the ones to set themselves on fire. Or rather, Bear would set them on fire, but they would want to be the ones flaming.

*Lifesonite's sucking up real good. Maybe HE should be the flamer?

Jus' kidd'n buddy!

Ya know, I have been thinking. *ite, you don't look like a smear.

Ok, but not what I meant

I know what you meant, dear Bro, but I was going on the Tap image he brought up.

Your loss Sis! Maybe your radar is working too well?
