What's going on in here tonight?

The wonderful Mr Adams! One of my favourite quotes of his:


"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."

- Douglas Adams

Wise guy.

I have discovered Ray's favourite word.

A rescent interview was concluded by asking him his favorite word. He laughed and responded, “Ramshackle. It describes me.”

Where is that Rocket Man!? "Onward" is a word RB seems to express often in written communications.

DS: ram·shack·le (rmshkl)
adj.
So poorly constructed or kept up that disintegration is likely; rickety: a ramshackle cabin in the woods.
I like word origin stuff: RE ~ [Back-formation from obsolete ranshackled, ramshackle, alteration of ransackled, past participle of ransackle, to ransack, frequentative of Middle English ransaken, to pillage; see ransack.]

Ramshackle?
To put fetters on a male sheep?

Only for the duration of mating season.

sorry, I nodded off drinking a heady spirit called "The Queens Knickers" in front of the fire(seriously, last night I actually for real went to an Irish pub here in Louisville called O'Sheas with my wife for dinner and that was on the beer list, you know I had to try it, had two and boy it was potent.) Actually it is a pretty good home brew. Put some more Coltrane on, stoke up the fire and somebody roll the die, I had a Yahtzee last roll I believe.

Hey R!! So you were having a Rip Van Winkle moment!

Right. Here, North Country winter has been snowy, snowy, and snowy. However, not TOO cold, untypically. Our wood stove has a similar effect. Boys snoring softly in their rooms, a good book in hand, a soothing drink, maybe a snack, quiet late hour, back deck light on to illumine the downward floating flakes, and just as the story starts to get really good....zzz

your a very eloquent writer sir. nice imagery sprang forth from your words. (frank,right? how is the vinyl spinning going?)

Right, Rock. Something special about the sound of a little static as tunes spin from those classic discs. Our guys have learned about the Beatles, Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, BB King, Hendrix, Traffic, Cream, Dire Straits...many others. They are also baseball card collectors/readers. Classic movies and literature abound, too. No commercial tube, so they keep themselves active or it's "out the door and find something to do!"

ahhhh, almost dog days as summer is quickly receding towards fall already. Its nice and cool in here amongst all of the stone and iron-mongery(?). I am reclined in this easy chair, book in hand, drink in hand, in front of a cold hearth longing for the eerie October winds scraping branches against lightning flashed windows. Where oh where can Chapter 31 be at this moment in time???
