Jim - I've got my iPod speakers ready for your mix. Looking forward to it, however cheesy it is.

Waaaa, I've got a 4th of July mix that, I daresay, would rival Parmesan Jim's (it's a bit more concise - 25 years of editing will do that) - but he's got first dibs 'cause he had a portable sound system last year and I had only a CD. Backwards technology gets me nowhere. I'm old.

We have lots of the same songs, btw - aligning mostly in the Disney Dept. - which, as Jim and most of you well know, has a lot of patriotic music.

So maybe if fireworks do indeed go to midnight, we can listen to both ...and take in stride any repeats, heheh - but who could tire of America Sings and Great Mr. Lincoln on the Fourth of July? Only the Benedict Arnolds of today, that's who!! :)

We're a maybe right now! A friend I haven't seen in a decade is coming to town, so I'm working around her vacation schedule as to when she wants to get together. :)

If you'd like, you can bring her along! We'll do a head count on Friday so we can go burger and beverage shopping.

Coolness! I'll mention it to her. She's a total Disney geek, so I'm sure she'd get along great with everyone. I've known her for almost 20 years now, and she's awesome. :)

We'll be there for the early shift but we must get home to puglets before the big booming starts (they get too stressed out).

Big daddy mouse has decided to own me until 1030 - starts early enough and ends late enough to guarantee I don't get to do anything that day.

iSm, have you listened to Stan Freberg Presents yet? 'Tis the season.

I'll supply a good 40 minutes of patriotic bombast, and cede the rest to Steve.

Stan Freberg presents was a riot! Thanks. The world is so much stranger now I know that recording exists.

Stan Freberg wanted to charge $20 for his autograph at Comic Con. Um... no.
