Re: never-ending gallery
Hi Geoffrey, Your stab at analyzing my character, background, and nature based on my posts here certainly caused a swelling of my head, enough so that I had my wife read it to laugh out loud and bring me back down to earth. As I am thinking it would interest you, and since I do not mind throwing som...

Re: never-ending gallery
Birthdays stopped being memorable after the one on which I qualified for full Social Security benefits. Nevertheless, I wish you a happy one dar!

Re: never-ending gallery
G, Despite your fine suggestions for ways to keep occupied, you know that I will still be in deep despair and just mope around until your return. Re "The Sopranos," I feel that it is the all-time best dramatic series ever made, the writing, production values, and most especially, the casti...

Re: never-ending gallery
it's saturday now, the weekend is here. time to forget about ukraine, corona, climate and all the other depressing things they keep bombarding us with. time to get up on your feet and start enjoying going to the shops, meeting people and feel the stimulation and inspiration flooding your veins. the...

Re: little activity
i don't understand how your wall surfaces can be so uneven, alan. are they solid 'breeze block' walls covered with a layer of plaster, or simply cheap gyprock covered with lining paper? i did notice the hairline cracks in the image you posted, and wondered if they were due to settlement. this somet...

Re: Lex Fridman on Leonard Cohen
Leonard will be forgotten by most...but not by all. There will always be those who will use the gift of human intelligence to study what was said and written by those that came before them, but historically, that has always been a small group. In 20-30 years, how many will know of the great classica...

Re: Lex Fridman on Leonard Cohen
the reason i initially wrote was due to the alarming amount of times a person can use energy to post a message here that is subsequently ignored. even if a person's message does not include a question, in all probability they return to see if there has been any response - as would be only natural. ...

Re: Nick Cave
vicoats, are you sure Nick Cave was at the Tower of Song tribute concert? As for his connection with Leonard, I always assumed that it was because he was an early fan and covered a number of Leonard's songs, not necessarily just "easy" ones like "Hallelujah, but even the daring ones l...

Re: little activity
IMO "Storeroom" is an overlooked gem. Always wonder if there are other such gems in the Cohen Estate's storeroom. Geoffrey, my guess is that the answer is yes, but I will ask: When you do a sketch, have you already decided on the lyric that will be inscribed on it? (Note: This question is ...

Re: little activity
G, you are always full of surprises. Now we see, from the myriad of questions you posed to Alan, that you might have been a very capable reporter or private investigator. Alan's wish for his childhood trains to find good homes is not an unusual one. I have been trying to determine a home for a 30-vo...

Re: little activity
Then again, at the end of his life, he put all of his energy into securing a financial legacy for his family. (I'm sure he knew he wouldn't be spending the money from touring, etc.) Did he finally figure out what they meant when they said "Repent"? From what I have read, Ms Lynch's pilfer...

Re: little activity
Today was a rare day when I had no need to leave home, no humans to talk to or listen to save my dear wife. A perfect day to get caught up with some outside chores. In March I started some lobelia seeds (not the red cardinal flower variety, these are blue and violet) and they were long overdue for p...
