Wow. I suck.

I've just been too busy to update recently so I've added a Twitter update to my profile over here ----> (look down)

Just so you all don't think I've left the intornet for good.

Thanks Twitter, for helping me suck less!

Sun Ra for Secretary of Outer Space!

Yesterday, when a reporter asked Bill Clinton, who is ACTIVELY campaigning his way into my bad books, why he thought it would "take two people to beat him (Obama)", Clinton said the following:

"Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here."

Jackson had not been mentioned.

Race bait much, Bubba? The Clintons seem to be doing everything they can to make the first viable African American candidate look like SUN RA.



Good job. Way to convince the electorate that you're not out of touch and brimming with that oh so becoming sense of entitlement.

Back next week with a roundup of all things jazz, travel and birthday related...

Whaaaa? No, really. WHAAAA?

Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Not a thousand of HIS words, certainly, but at least a thousand of mine.

Niagara Bound

Well, it's been a full work week since the IAJE conference and I still haven't managed to digest everything that I heard and saw over the course of those four days. It was truly amazing. I have lots of pictures and things to share and I will do that next week, mostly for my own records, so that I don't forget the little things like how the Jazz at Lincoln Center staffers were all so well dressed. Between that, and their exceptional posture it was like they were the Mormons of the jazz world.

But I'll have to get to all that later. The Robeau and I are heading to Niagara Falls for the weekend. This is crazy, spontaneous and weird for us. While it won't be the quiet of Collingwood we will be Intornet free and away from the homestead. The lovely homestead that is just crawling with To Do lists and dishes begging to be done. After this brief respite I'm sure we'll both be on fire with productivity next week. On fire! Besides, they have wax museums there. Who doesn't love a good wax museum?

You can always count on Diane Keaton for an awkward giggle.

That's one of the reasons I fucking love her!

Unfair Advantage.

Today was the first day of the annual IAJE conference, which is being held here in Toronto this year. If today was any indication it's going to be an awesome weekend. Expect very little posting from me until next week, because I'll be busy taking in all the workshops, clinics and shows I can handle. Hell, I might just get Carpal Tunnel from holding my camera!

In the meantime, check out the current online cover of the New York Times (click on it to make it BIG) and tell me that isn't the funniest headline you've ever read. I dare you!

Things they never tell you to expect...

My BFF has Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from holding her newborn.

I am so excited about the Iowa Caucuses...less than 45 minutes to go!
