- every time i hear the twang in john hiatt's voice i realize that the "ole acorn doesn't fall far from the tree." i think that my penchant for folk music is simply a sophisticated expression of my boyhood love of country music. that being said, every time i hear someone talk about new country (read: shania twain, rascal flatts and toby keith) i am tempted to throw the country A-K rack out in the street and go work for a virgin megastore.
- i recently received confirmation from the seminary that they had waived my immunization requirements due to my "stated religious objections." i never registered an objection, but do have a friend who works in the registration department. it pays to have friends in high places
- i've been reading a church growth book by thom rainer and actually enjoying it. shhh! don't tell any of my emergent friends.
- you know you're getting old when an unexpected office meeting makes you doubt your ability to pay the mortgage.
- memo to mr. pearass: you know you are loved when Gentry agrees to accompany you to a rufus wainright show. the aforementioned upright, integrous citizen cannot believe he is going to subject himself to such excesses of cruising, camp and cheese.
- memo to mr. folds: Gentry expects you to make aforementioned evening worthwhile.
- memo to self: keep saying "aforementioned." it makes you sound sophisticated
- that is all. i must now return to the pimp-driven life

by the way, the aforementioned "unexpected office meeting" was innocuous. the owner is simply bringing in a couple "bob and bob" type consultants to help us understand what our beloved, southern baptist customers think.
Be careful at the concert...it might make sense to drink excessively through Rufus' whiny lyrics but then you might not truly appreciate Ben. You must weigh your choices carefully.
My favorite Hiatt twang CD - Crossing Muddy Waters - it could be the mandolins in every song, but i like to think it's the way he says "i'm coming to gitcha baby!" that i love the best.
dialing the emergent police... you're in deep now, mr. gentry... very deep...
becks,
immergluck on the mandolin is hard to beat.
that being said, i'm going to have to go with "meet the family." i know it's an unoriginal pick, but what can i say..."have a little faith" kills me every time.
i also dig "underneath this gruff exterior," think "crossing" was superlative and am currenting lusting after "the tiki bar is open," which i almost nabbed at the mystery train weekend before last, but spent my money on your tiffany album instead.
art, don't i know. but he's provoked me to think about evangelism again, and i think that's a good thing.
Speaking of Tiffany, is she at home with you or did Cade confiscated her all for himself?
I have Tiki album.... :) Hiatt is my favorite duet partner.
You weren't the only one who thought of the "bob and bob" scene at this morning's aforrementioned meeting (you're right-kudos for your 'word of the day'). I know there were 3 of us now that thought it.
concerning the aforementioned meeting, i'm far past drawing the parallel. i'm now in the process of positioning myself as the department's brilliant, yet under-challenged employee.
becks, i don't know where the aforementioned album is. either cade is lusting over the cover art or we left it at blackburns.
i think cade has some new wall art, thats what i think. :)
rest assured...miss "mall-diva" is sitting quietly next to my computer. along with all her friends.
so is this a 'rufus/ben' style concert? or did i read that wrong?
if it is, why did i not know about this?
92.5. but close enough, eh?
concerning the aforementioned radio station, i think it has to be one of the best in the country.
James the girl...if i make it up to Chicago to see him this summer i'll be looking for you. :)
Cade...her friends??? don't tell me deborah gibson is there too?! You and Art must rock out on the weekends!
her friends meaning the other free albums that we acquired in gloucester. the beatles, simon and garfunkel and the like.
and *sigh* my record player is 2,000 miles away AND broken, so the only rocking out we do is in the form of mp3...of which i do have some tiffany.
cade,
do you want to join us?
we'd be more than willing to have you...especially since this would alleviate the idea that mark and i are "partners."
i'm buying tickets as soon as they go on sale.
in.
when is it?
screw it, just call me.
