A couple of bits
Jim got the Job!!!! Go say yay.
We played the first petanque match of the winter season yesterday afternoon and lost … badly … 6-0.

Friday Fun
Life’s soundtrack is coming but in the mean time:
Q: What’s the difference between the Vietnam War and the Iraq War?
Brother’s gonna rhyme on these tracks…
Well Jeremy over at World of Soil has an interesting Meme.
He believes that life needs / has a soundtrack and would like to know what yours is:
Think of ten things that you do during the day (these could be anything, Driving etc.).
Think of ten tracks of music that you would have playing over them in [...]

Wisdom of a wednesday night…
You just listen to the ol’ Pork Chop Express an’ take his advice on a dark and stormy night:
