So i can imagine how a few days of sunshine can really lift your spirits (we actually had the wettest May on record here in the DC area, so I'm kind of aware of how the rain affects everyone). <BR/><BR/>But the actual line that Westerberg wrote was:<BR/><BR/>"but it rains everyday on a liar<BR/>in Happy Town..."<BR/><BR/>Above the treetops and thru the clouds, I know there's sun. Come back and play in Arlington, VA again! <BR/><BR/>Eric from Silver Spring, Maryland, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345837331344524410.post-23573207694276373712008-06-02T21:23:00.000+02:002008-06-02T21:23:00.000+02:00Whew! All this talk about yardwork is making me feel guilty. I usually don't mow the lawn till the neighbors start circulating a petition. I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of those who enjoy your diary. I'm a recent convert to your music and after ordering all your CD's am slowing taking in each one - The Sugar Tree is currently in my player nonstop - so hope you keep writing and looking forward to seeing you on tour this fall. Any chance your live album will be available again?DelLordsReunoinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10644682252885214247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345837331344524410.post-84458057945241809492008-06-01T19:38:00.000+02:002008-06-01T19:38:00.000+02:00You know, a little bit of what we enjoy keeps us sane...if you enjoy writing, then go for it.

It's nice out today and I 'should' we weeding, but i'll end up going for a motorbike ride. I mean... seriously!<BR/><BR/>I'm happy to know you are writing again.F.O.T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09670568977196367756noreply@blogger.com
