Right on Katiemay, to all ^that stuff.
I just walked in from a gig a while ago and for some reason, as I walked thru the kitchen door into my house, I found myself realizing yet again how lucky we are that Phish exists, right in the face of all other bands.
Good morning OKP.
^haha, that’s great. In your face Ace of Base!
Good morning OKP. Going to my nephew’s in Cortland for a cookout with the family today. Looks like another nice day outside and I look forward to enjoying it. Have a good Sunday.
Morning, Kevin-- hope you had a great gig!
Morning, Katie-- have a great day at your nephew’s!
Kinda wanna take a walk but it’s pretty gray out there… hoping it burns off soon! Gonna smoke me a pork belly today! 
Have a fantastic day OhKeePeople!
Monday Morning to you Pa!
Great sports and weather weekend here in the Mitten!
ALL the teams won!!!
It was supposed to rain Saturday and didn’t which = smoker full of wings and sausages and a few beers and some friends over to watch what might have been the craziest 4th quarter in Michigan history!!
Go football!!
Mornin!!!
Horrible Vikes game yesterday, just a disgusting “sports” year for us Minnesotans… MEH!
Very well stated Katie!
I enjoyed the memorials, the lead up etc. It makes me feel proud to know that those who helped will never be forgotten and those who perished will always be remembered…
Be well all!!
Loves!!!
Mor Ning Pa!
Dang not one chance to get on the OKP last weekend. I hate packing and moving. BUT, I’m really glad to be getting outta there so onward and upward! Or something… 
Morning Pa
Tuesday, meh
Tigers won their 10th game in row last night
Warm here
Cold soon
Be well

Hey big eye. I’ll see your “meh” and raise you an “ugh”.
But that’s only because it’s a work week Tuesday, not because it’s a beautiful day out there in central Joisey. Last night when I got home the town had finally come to pick up everyone’s Irene debris, and the guy had finally come to remove a stump in my front yard and level out the area with topsoil. After I cut the grass, the house and the street started looking like it pre-Irene condition.
Except for these nasty little flies that bite like miniature banshees. Don’t ever remember biting flies being an issue for us. Must be all of the extra moisture the area has gotten in the past couple of weeks. Boy, if any bad guy wanted to wipe us out, all they’d have to do is feed something virulent to mosquitos.
Having some fun learning about Eric Johnson lately. A live album given to me by someone at work has me pretty entertained at the moment, and it’s nice discovering someone you like for the first time. He’s a great guitar technician, and probably could fit in well with Phish, but his compositional skills aren’t nearly as well defined as Trey’s.
Rambling. Have to stop because I have a meeting in a few minutes. Have a great Tuesday ole OKP>
This week is crazy. So much shit going on at work combined with closing on the house, dealing with my ex-wife for the last time, moving, blah blah blah. Definitely one of those weeks where I’m grateful for coffee.
Morning Brett, Bill, Doug and Ohkeepa. Biting flies sound like no fun!
I brought home 2 pounds of amazing, family grown coffee from Puerto Rico last week and I’m having a hard time not drinking it… 
Tonight may be my last night in my own bed next to my beautiful wife until mid-to-late October… 
Heading off on a whirlwind adventure through Europe and Asia that should have me quite tired and ready for home by the end of it! 
At least I get to kick it off with a live Phish webcast at 30,000’ in the air! That is, assuming there is solid internet on the plane. 
Anyways, have a great day, folks… I got me some packing to do.
Y’alls know what day it is???
IT’S PHEESH SHOW DAY!!!
GOOD MORNING VERMONT!!!
VERY JEALOUS OF ALL OF YOU GOING TO THE SHOW TONIGHT!!
HAVE A FECKING BLAST!!!
OH YAH!!!
IT’S ALSO ANOTHER DAY!!!
Have a good day humpin’ Pa!!
Ahh Brett, you make my morning.
The guy that our middle daughter has been living with for the past five or six years, is very close to being chosen along with his halfwit brother, as contestants for an upcoming season of The Biggest Loser. I’m just about convinced that they will get through because at least one of them fits the crown already.
I know I must sound like a creep and a half, but it’s a really big effort for me to be even civil to him for any number of reasons that I could justify to you in a heartbeat, so I can’t hide a disdain and mistrust that I struggle with whenever his name comes up.
But that doesn’t keep me from wishing him well in this endeavor, even though, I know the reason that they are considering him is that he’ll make embarrassingly great reality TV. He’ll be crying on every show, and the one thing that I admire most about him is that he doesn’t care that people will laugh at him for it.
Will let you know for sure if he makes it. For now, have a great Hump Day.
Good morning peoples. Slept in today, apparently I needed it. I’m grateful that as a graduate student I’m really on my own time table and that nobody gives a shit what time I come in. Granted, I’ll probably be here a little later than expected so I can get shit done but I love the flexibility. I’m rarely in a rush to get out the door in the morning.
Hello dudes. ^^That’s some insane bottoms, that is. I don’t know if it’s my age, but I’ve spent more time these days pondering the helplessness we experience under the authority of our hormones. I can’t say that image didn’t make all my blood cells shift around a little bit. At times one can even develop resentment over the inherent manipulations surrounding that power, but I digress. Bum bums hee hee.
Hope you folks are all having a fine fine day. I’ve been real busy and life’s been intense, but perhaps that’s why I don’t feel like I can tell you all about it; too busy and intense over here for that kinda type-out. Peace y’all, safe and merry times to the VT crew tonight.
Hey now!!!
It’s Thursday!!!
so what the hell…
Okay then!
Weekend is right around the corner!!!
Another weekend packed with baseball and football!!!
I’m off to Chicago next week for work!
Going to the Cubs game on Wednesday!!! Never been to Wrigley!!
GOOD FECKING MORNING!!!
Brett, you make me happy. Matter of fact, you all do, and I need just a moment to appreciate this insane bunch of the most well adjusted people I know.
Maybe I’m blinded by our love for Phish and for great music, but I don’t think so. I think most times that our love for Phish is instead a symptom of our common greatness. We are an extraodinary selection of everyday people, who understand the reality of what we’re doing here, and who take the effort to meet that reality with kindness and humor.
Love you folks, and that’s about the best I have this morning.
Today is the day folks. While I’m excited for the closing, I’m still a little nervous that something’s going to go wrong. It’s probably nerves for having to sit down with the ex-wife afterwards and calculate how the money is to be split up. Should be fun 
Only problem is she’s also half German. So she will also have the attitude of “I’m German, I get everything.” (see what I did there? It’s a Nazi joke)
I always have something great to say and can’t wait to get into this thread.
Then I look at all the nice pictures Brett posts and none of it really seems to matter.
