"Put One foot infront of the other..."-Chris Cringle



Yup. It's walk day. So here's your quickie blog. Enjoy.


Don't I sound like one of those TV Diner waitresses.


"Here's your eggs. Want something else?" Before you can speak, she's gone. I've actually had that waitress before. Although my favorite was probably the one who took my drinking glass and never returned after I asked for a refill.


"Oh the nerve of some customers! See that guy at table 4? He asked for a refill."

"What did you do?"

"I took his glass and never went back. I'll sweep past that table when he looks away, and leave his ticket."


And that's why I ran barbed wire about ankle height between two tables.


Coincidentally that's also why I'm no longer welcome at Denny's.


That's ok, they like me at Coco's just fine. I'm a good tipper.


But anyway, my walk. Sorry, I was almost going to entertain you. I promise, it won't happen again.


I thought today, I'd give you my top 3 divorce songs. You know how hard it is to find divorce songs? Oh there's 5 billion Kleenex boxes full of "Breakup songs" but not many divorce songs. Then you find most of them are Country, and it's like "Who wants to listen to that?" Those don't quallify as music. I sorted through what was left, eliminated the ones I've already played, and voila! My top Three.


So in no particular order of importance:







Liz Phair-The divorce song. Ok any questions? I think it's pretty cut and dried. Liz has an interesting way of expressing herself, but she always comes around to the truth. Especially in her earlier stuff.






Marrillion-Sugar Mice Ok, this one's kind of dated, but I saw these guys on tour, and I used to really like them. This song is about whining through divorce aftermath, so it makes the list. Besides There are 2 lines that are really good in this one. "Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain." I've spent several of those. And yeah. They're kind of depressing. It's funny I've spent rainy Sunday's in Arizona and California, and they weren't that bad. Milwaukee…not a happy rainy city. The sun is nice there…Anyway. I also like the line "If you want my address it's number 1 at the end of the bar." Yeah, We all like being number one somewhere…







Stephen Lynch-Lullaby. Sometimes I wonder if I've stepped over the line. Then I throw on a Stephen Lynch Song and everything is fine; He shows me where the line really is. So enjoy his take on divorce...


Ok, I hope you enjoy. I'm gonna go walk. The only person who made any photo suggestions was Azhira. She wants to see Leprechauns, I think she's taken 1 too many hits from a shillelagh, but we'll see. That's the last time I offer you guys any say in what I write...
