This post is for our Cody, who is sorely missed already. There are myriad things that connects each one of us to him, and I think that each one of those things qualifies as a reason for his future return. I do believe that he will return, we just love him that much, and I raise my glass to that.This is merely an appetizer to Funky Friday {you guys do it so much better than I ever could}, but I ...

Why is it that I can purchase an album, but I can't f**king listen to it?? Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals' latest CD is, overall, a very above average album, and I am happy I purchased it. With that being said, I can only listen to it on my home stereo. Not on my computer, therefore not on my IPod as well. Therefore, not in my car, because of my IPod. Therefore, as well, not at the gy...

I'm exploring Ben Harper albums today and this selection made me think of my poor old ex-husband who dropped in on me at work yesterday, innocently, just to tell me the kids were home, and ended up hearing the kind of rant he probably thought he'd left behind. Just a general my-job-sucks kind of rant, no biting, scratching or stabbing, but still. Mama's Trippin' is quite different from the ot...
