When in doubt,

say nothing.

You might expect this to be about me, and you would be right

"Oh Well"

What you did to me made me
See myself something different
Though I try to talk sense to myself
But I just won't listen

Won't you go away
Turned yourself in
You're no good at confession
Before the image that you burned me in
Tries to teach you a lesson

What you did to me made me see myself somethin' awful
A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled
It took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it
I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I've been outbidded

My peace and quiet was stolen from me
When I was looking with calm affection
You were searching out my imperfections

What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff

You came upon me like a hypnic jerk
When I was just about to settle
And when it counts you recoil
With the cryptic word you even love belittling

Oh what a cold and common old way to go
I was feeding on the need for you to know me
Devastated at the rate you fell below me

What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff

Oh, well

Say that again?

Having suffered a heart attack back in September, Allen had asked prison authorities to let him die if he went into cardiac arrest before his execution, a request prison officials said they would not honor.

"At no point are we not going to value the sanctity of life," said prison spokesman Vernell Crittendon. "We would resuscitate him," then execute him.

Wine party -- Saturday February 11, 2006 Broomfield 7PM

Petite Syrah $35 or less
Saturday February 11, 2006 Broomfield 7PM

Petite Sirah; Petite Syrah
[peh-TEET sih-RAH, peh-TEET see-RAH]
Grown mainly in California, this red-wine grape was initially thought to be related to the renowned SYRAH of France's RHÔNE region. Some, however, believe it is actually a variety called DURIF, which was also grown in the Rhone but is now almost extinct. Petite Sirah produces a deep-colored, ROBUST, and PEPPERY wine that packs plenty of TANNINS and has good AGING ability. Although not as popular as CABERNET SAUVIGNON, PINOT NOIR, or ZINFANDEL, Petite Sirah does much better in California than in France and has a following among those who like BIG, full-bodied wines. Although in vogue during the 1970s, Petite Sirah's popularity has since diminished somewhat, and acreage throughout the state has subsequently declined. In addition to being bottled as a VARIETAL WINE, Petite Sirah is often blended with other varietals (ZINFANDEL, for example) to give them zest and complexity.

Special instructions: Bring some food to share with the group, and one bottle of wine per person or couple.

Cabernet Franc $35 or less
Saturday January 14, 2006 Broomfield 7PM

Cabernet Franc
[KA-behr-nay FRAHN (FRAHNGK)]
Although similar in structure and flavor to CABERNET SAUVIGNON, this red wine grape is not quite as full-bodied (see BODY), and has fewer TANNINS and less ACID. It is, however, more AROMATIC and HERBACEOUS. Unlike Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc grows in cooler climates and ripens early. Therefore, it can be particularly important if weather conditions create a less-than-perfect Cabernet Sauvignon crop. Under such circumstances, the French have found that the addition of Cabernet Franc might salvage the VINTAGE. In BORDEAUX, Cabernet Franc is most often blended with MERLOT and Cabernet Sauvignon; it's usually not the dominant grape in these blends. The most noteworthy examples of French wines made primarily from Cabernet Franc grapes are those from Château cheval blanc, whose vineyards are planted with about 66 percent Cabernet Franc and 33 percent Merlot. In the United States, Cabernet Franc has not been widely planted, mainly because the weather in California yields consistently higher-quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes than in France. Only recently has its popularity grown as a flavor enhancer for wines based on Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc is also called Bordo, Bouchet, Brenton, Carmenet, and Trouchet Noir.

Special instructions: Bring some food to share with the group, and one bottle of wine per person or couple.

Dead Souls

Someone take these dreams away,
That point me to another day,
A duel of personalities,
That stretch all true realities.

That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me.

Where figures from the past stand tall,
And mocking voices ring the halls.
Imperialistic house of prayer,
Conquistadors who took their share.

That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me.

Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me.

They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me,
They keep calling me.
