Andrew Gold's mom is back on stage at 77.  You can see where he got his hair and eyes.

The Marines are banning "large, garish" tattoos.

Doesn't this effectively prevent 2/3 of all 18-to-24-year-old men from joining the Corps? LOL!

No tattoos? In the MARINES? Yeesh, I thought you had to have three tattoos just to get thru boot camp.

Pretty much.  Geesh, the armed forces are hardly in a position to be turning people away.  Although this precedent could help give the 18-to-24ers an easy out if we ever have a draft again.

Anyone had a chance to check out the new "street view" feature of Google Maps? It's kind of cool--and kind of scary.

(Btw, you have to install the newest version of Flash for it to work.)

Some great storytelling as well as some great digifiles to grab at this MP3 blog:

I sometimes wish I had the compunction to maintain an MP3 blog.  Alas, the legal grounds are more than shaky, and blogging's a major commitment; once you stop posting regularly, people start forgetting to stop by.

You MUST download from that blog: George Harrison's demo version of "It Don't Come Easy," which Ringo scored the hit with.  I hadn't considered how George-like that song is.

Damn, you're so right!

And I LOVE the 5 versions of "Son of a Preacher Man" -- takin' time to make time, indeed!

That site is a treasure-trove... I've bookmarked it for further enjoyment.
