Just for the record...

... if our household now owns a copy of the Potterdammerung, I have nothing to do with it.

I don't even know if Justin is aware it's out today, although I expect he does. One way or another, he's in Cow Hampshire and I'm not, so there you have it.

Besides, I still have a number of books in the To Be Read pile, and, although I might stuff it into the middle, it probably wouldn't even make it into the top 10. And I am reading s l o w these days.

The current in-progress book sat there for about 2 months now with only the prelude completed...

My reading time has been filled with other things. Like my own personal line of yachts and a few others that I don't own. Yet.

By the way, for reference, should anyone want to contribute a yacht or two, I was looking at the s87, Predator 108, Open 90, and Atlantica 78. Nice little boats.

Okay, so that was only one day that I spent reading about cheap tiny boats that only cost a few million dollars... *most* of you are aware of what I've been spending most of my reading time on, although at this time that's a Top Sekrit topic... (at least for a certain restricted audience =)

PSA: PFA

Friday August 3rd, one of the best live bands I've heard will be playing at the Volksplatz.

Check out some of the sample tunes on Philadelphia Funk Authority's web site. These guys are great, even if Alicia no longer sings with them. =)

When Justin was first playing trumpet, I made sure I brought him to the Musikfest show just so he could watch one of the best horn sections I've ever seen live (And yeah, that includes Tower of Power. And they're damn good. As in don't get much better than this good.)

Anyway, if you're local (or travelling long distances) and plan on 'festing for the first Friday, go out of your way to check out PFA.
