July 26th, 2006 By request….

Growing up, Liz, Colleen and I attended the Octoberfest annually. We would stay at the Lennon’s hunting camp and go danc. When the D.J. asked if she’d like the same song played at the party OF COURSE she said, “YOU HAVE TO !” so,… here we are doing the internationally reknowned Chicken Dance!

July 24th, 2006 Anniversary Party

3476 3433fp339)nu=3253)777)2(2)WSNRCG=32339848(77 9nu0mrj.jpg Went to a “Not a Wedding” One Year Anniversary Party for my friends Liz and Andy who eloped,… well you can guess when… which for several of us was simultaneously a mini [x-year] Class Reunion (which in some ways is too bad b/c it overshadowed the event of the evening so it’s a good thing that we were set up in the back of the room/at the bar.)

The next day, we (both sets of family/both generations of the Clarks, Bobbie, me) headed over to Bethel Woods for a day of the Jazz Festival including: Wynton Marsalis, Dianne Reeves, this amazing but weird Brazillian artist named Cyro Baptista and Beat the Donkey, a little piece of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and synchronisity of synchronisity because she’d just mentioned him a day or two before, Bobbie’s favorite jazz musician, Chris Botti. (Missed Thurman Barker.)

The new site is beautiful but they aren’t allowing picnicing which, considering the rolling green vistas serving as a backdrop, is just rediculous. I’m going to write a letter pointing out the numerous venues across the country, for example the Hollywood Bowl, which allow such activity with success. It’s just greed and if not checked, people will leave the place bitter. Oooh, speaking of. They also seriously need to relax on the whole “assigned seats” idea. 1/2 the place was empty (there is a LOT of seating) and when people moved up a couple of rows, the ushers were adament about moving even as late as the last 1/2-hour of the last set. Time shall tell.

April 3rd, 2006 me, this morning…

Lisa On Fire

Lisa dropped “bombs” of wisdom a couple of weeks ago and I promised her then I’d post them. Here in no particular order…..

“sex is for lovers, friends /
one night stands are for frustration, loose ends”

“the best scottish guy i ever had sex with was italian”

“rebecca, you’re not a teenager anymore. you’re not even in your 20s anymore. just suck up and get over it!”
(or as Liz would say, “Acknowledge. Move on.”)

“i don’t speak to you, i don’t see you, i don’t call you, and i think you stink, why aren’t you obsessed with me?”

“just texan and southern yahoos are fuckin nuts”

LOL!

This song’s for you!

(As recorded by the Partridge Family/Bell)
TONY ROMEO

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you

This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn’t know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I’d hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I’m afraid that I’m not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn’t that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way

I don’t know what I’m up against
I don’t know what it’s all about
I got so much to think about

Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I’m afraid that I’m not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn’t that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say I never felt this way

Believe me you really don’t have to worry
I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
But I think better still I’d better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?

I think I love you
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you).
