Happy Thanksgiving Warren I'm thankful to all your wonderful stories I read here. 

Thanks Kp and Ofdwolf! Well, I'm not sure if we are going to have Thanksgiving or not. I'll let you know, though. You know that! Leaving Sunday for the islands and madly, trying to get things done. My nephew has been too upset about his dad leaving liberal Cali for Arizona. lol God, the things I read are crazy. Like guys in Texas carrying a gun, knife, and pepper spray at all times. Is everyone going to carry a gun? We are moving, that direction. I wish I had all my students back killed with guns. I wish everyone a safe, and peaceful Thanksgiving.  

Have a wonderful holiday, Buddy! 

Oh HCB, I am going to post my favorite Doors music dedicated to you. If you saw them live, I am permanently jealous of you. I remember they were playing at a neighbor high school for $4.00, and I had the flyer in my hand and forgot to go. The Doors and Led Zeppelin are neck and neck for my favorite groups of all time. I love Jim's dark poetic verses, and Bruce Botnick was the greatest recording engineer of his time. He was an equal share to their greatness. Maybe the greatest moment for me was sitting a couple seats down from Ray Manzarek, and I yelled, "Hey Ray!", and he said "Do I know you?" and I said, "No worries, I know you!" and I shook his hand, and in utter SHOCK. He was a great guy, sitting there laughing. 

The cool thing about Morrison, was he was a Hollywood child. What I mean is, he was often drunk, and sleeping on a Hollywood curb. So out of control, and drug ridden, he died at age 27. The Hard Rock has a cool picture of his mug shot, for when he was arrested in Las Vegas for drunk, and disorderly. 

Warren they might just be jealous of you!!! And we luv you too!!!!! 

Thanks SjF! I can't express how much I LOVE music. The last two days I have been playing the "Doors Greatest Hits" in my car. It reminds me when I was a 9th grader, when they recorded their first album. I was at a Zeppelin concert standing on my arm rests of my seat. I was in the first 15 rows. Security kept shinning lights at me, but I didn't care. My friend, that was with me, was shocked. He said, "Do you always do that?" He was laughing his butt off. 

Well, I am off to "In N Out", and that's what a hamburger's all about! 

Nice drop!!! 

Thanks John! Have a wonderful, Thanksgiving!
