Spending it All in One Place
After looking through everyone's suggestions and weeding out the ones I already owned (Dear Husband has a copy of "Vertigo") or weren't available (for some reason that Del Amici album isn't on iTunes), I have downloaded my Major Award. And the winner is <drum roll...>
"You Don't Treat Me No Good," by Sonia Dada. I actually ended up getting the version from their Lay Down and Love It Live album, because, aside from being catchy as all hell, it has a really nifty little piano line.
For his winning suggestion, I will be buying TeacherRefPoet the beverage of his choice next time I see him. Thanks to all for your suggestions!
garden progress: Got a truckload of sod stripped out of the back garden.
house progress: Clean, clean, the kitchen is clean.
what's for dinner? Don't know about tonight, but a few nights ago we had a killer risotto, loosely based on the Alton Brown recipe.

- I should've known that Joe would own "Vergigo" already. How cool is the twist in the chorus at the end (Where it goes from "You give me something I can feel" to "You're the one who taught me how to kneel" My lefty Catholic heart leaps everytime)
I think Joe owes me a beverage of my choice the next time I see him. It's like playing "dictionary" and getting a point when someone chooses your definition.
Oh, wait. Under that logic, I probably owe Joe a beverage of his choice...oops...

- I LOVE winning things!
Does it have to be the next time you see me? I'll be swimming in drink offers that weekend. Can it be when I next get to Gambier next summer?
And is there any good port in Gambier? - At 11:59 PM, Joe held forth...
- I'm more than happy to swap rounds of drinks with anyone who sees the lefty Catholic imagery which I missed in a U2 song, Matt.
- At 12:00 PM, Alison held forth...
- Most certainly, Paul, it can wait until your next Gambier visit. And Bobby is pretty proud of his selection of port at the Market, so there's that.
