Freaking out. I think I spent the hours of 10 to 2:20 in the grips of a white hot anxiety. My god it was painful to endure, I thought my head would explode. Could two cups of coffee do this? I use to drink a lot of coffee.

In response to school started today School is so crowded that my most stressful moment is finding a parking spot. 2 of my students are children of former students. When I start teaching the grandchildren of former pupils, I'll know I'm really ancient. I've started teaching literature by Native Americans and hope I can dispel many prejudices against first nation people.

Imelda May - "Mayhem" , "Johnny's Got A Boom Boom", "Train Kept A Rolling". Don't be surprised that the irish can rock out some rockabilly. The rock came from the blues, but the billy largely came from transplanted irish folk music as they had already settled large sections of the Appalachians well before the Revolutionary War.

Orqestra Buena Vista Social Club. Which is the band my wife took me to see last night at a club in Denver. Really really great. What I noticed most is while every musician in the band has effortless talent, they don't show it unless it's their turn to shine. It's obvious that the oldsters are handing off the baton to the youngsters, but the oldsters really can knock your socks off without appearing to try.

For heard a Blood Sweat & Tears song this morning and decided to look them up. You have to admit this is an interesting band history. And look at the sheer number of names of people who have been in this band. At some point it's no longer a band, it's light industry.

Thirties's era baked goods? A friend of mine is hosting a thirties theme party to celebrate his recent acquistion of a vintage phonograph. I've offered to take some baked goodies. Does anyone have any inspired ideas as to what I could make for this party? I thought maybe a batch of mashed potato cookies would do, because people just had to use what they had in the thirties, but maybe some of you have better ideas?
