The Chief is chillaxin. (Boston, MA)

Dad: Why ARE there so many songs about rainbows?
Tom: I presume this is in response to the question below. We did have that 8-track and it was a fun listen, but I'm talking about songs really took me away...
Dad: Woops, you're right. It's late. Guess I'll just have to take 5 and think harder.
Monique: True story: We're using this new hypothermia protocol at the hospital these days. We froze up a guy who went into cardiac arrest the other day, when the attending physician asked me how he was doing I said "chillaxin."

He wasn't too amused.

Tom is chillaxin. I was listening to some of the earliest songs I could remember really liking as a child, in much the same manner as I listened to them as a 5-year-old; twenty points to anyone who can name one of the songs. (Boston, MA)

mom: Well, let's see -- could it be that some of them are on a disc or two in my ride? But I shouldn't cheat, that way I get 20 plus points and forty minus points with limited ways back up....
Katie: Thriller.
Tom: Now you are getting close! I'll give 10 points (one of the four was Billie Jean).
Andrew: Hmm... I don't know if you were into Dire Straits like the older siblings, but I have memories of lip-synching "Money for Nothing". Did that make the list?
Tom: The "older siblings" tend to forget that they're only two or three years older - Money For Nothing was much later, and not a good song (even though I did enjoy it at the time), so... WRONG! Reach further back! I will reveal another one which was also Michael Jackson: Say, Say, Say. That leaves two more songs, both of whose creators are also black.
Tom: Quiz is over. The answer is/are: Billie Jean (Michael Jackson), Say Say Say (Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney), Feel For You (Chakka Khan), and I Just Called To Say I Love You (Stevie Wonder).
Katie: Shoot, my other guess was going to be 'All Night Long'. Do I have to give up my 10 points for that one?

I haven't taken photos for a few weeks so I'm recycling old stuff. I found a good helping of purplemountainmajesty outside Emily's hospital window after Theo arrived (he's more littlepinkmajesty). (Salt Lake City, UT)

Jason: That's a fantastic shot. Though you know I'm partial to landscapes.
Brittany: Wow, that is nice. At first I thought you were going to say that you hadn't been taking pictures for awhile so you'll just post one you found in a travel brochure for an Alaskan cruise (...without the ocean).
mnlop: Whoa, I should have looked out the window while chillaxin' in the hospital.

I Baracked the vote this afternoon. (Cambridge, MA)

mnlop: where is the snow?
mnlop: This comment has been removed by the author.
Jenni: I'm off to caucus today.
Feed: I kind of wish we had precincts instead of stakes.
poser p: Schweet. I baraked the vote in Cali since my man dropped out before I had the chance to pull the lever for him (and I ain't talkin' 'bout no Mittens...).
Dustin: Hey Tom. nice blog! This is Dustin. I met you today at institute. Here's my blog. dustindays.blogspot.com

After voting I hit the studio for some piano time. The new t-shirts are on their way (I've promised one to most of my readership at one point or another). (Cambridge, MA)
