assistant: New girlfriend thinks her mission in life it to keep me out of
trouble by keeping me busy.  :)
...
    Still haven't heard them.  :)
Typing about keeping out of trouble:
    Yep!
    What can I say?  I wonder what she'll cook up for Valentine's Day?
    Know any Valentine's music?
    I'd hardly be inclined to have a girlfriend who doesn't enjoy music
to some extent...
    Would you believe it is 70 F (20 C) at 11:20 PM and we're having a
thunderstorm?  I saw where you got hit with major ice storms...
Typing of: Meanings in songs:
    All you have listed except Aprilwine, along with the Eagles, Bad
Company, Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Poco, Moody Blues, Foghat, the Rolling
Stones, the Beatles, and a wealth of others.  :)

    By you or for you?  Big difference, no?

    A friend of mine who made it to Philly's Mummer's parade (I
didn't this year) told me Loreena McKennitt's "The Mummer's Dance" was a
major hit with the marchers!  :)
    The "best" songs from it are on _Cross Road_.  He he.  :)
    Hey now young lady, just cause I recently tallied another year
doesn't mean I've ready to die just yet!
    It's an excellent album.  I've just found out she has at least four
earlier releases, guess who ordered them.  :)
    A very good album indeed!
NP: "The Sad Cafe" : Eagles : _The Long Run_
