Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
Since we’ve been at the beach since early last week, I thought we’d stay there. Here’s a little something from summer of 1996 for you to enjoy, and the comments will reset. What more can I do this morning except promise to do better. Happy Birthday, United States!

    GR 😉 I also question the ‘greatest rock song ever’, I like Cheap Trick, never saw them perform live, but did see them on “Imus In the Morning” a couple of years ago…..gosh, rock and rollers age just like we do……

    and for George…..I really miss him

    I’m really late to the party on this one.

    Until last night, Arlo’s double entendre didn’t occur to me.

    Yeah, I’ve been working too much and too hard – brain cells have melted.

    The first time we saw “Wrestling Ernest Hemingway” (on TV) we missed the opening credits so had no preconceived expectations of the actors. After watching almost the whole thing and really enjoying the characters, my husband suddenly exclaimed, “That’s Robert Duvall!” That role, as much or more than any other, confirmed just how good an actor the man is.

    Mark, just thinking last night while fighting mountain curves and roads under construction and dark after midnight how much I missed your knowledge and humor. And yes, you do have a sense of humor and it is smart and intelligent one.

    And where is Sand? I see Indy Mindy on Facebook and keep up with her, Llee, Nancy, Gal, Ruth and Mark there. If any Villagers on Facebook just put in friend request if I missed you.

    Funny how pigs can adapt to flight!

    Love Jackie
