Scar on my knee from a misguided attempt at rollerblading down the local Park Hill, which was essentially a paved road of death. Scar on wrist, 7-shaped scar on my forehead, and scar between top lip and nose from, umm, my little ceiling mishap (http://trinamick.blogspot.com/2007/04/cats-dont-always-land-on-their-feet.html). As for newspapers, I check our weekly paper for the movie times, obituaries, and court news. I want to make sure my name isn't in the last two.

And alos several from fights my sis and I got into when little. But by far the worst is the 2+ inch scar on my right boob. I was doing my hair and dropped the curling iron and of course it landed on the first mound of exposed flesh it came to, the right boob side of my cleavage. When I removed the fire-stick from my chest, it pulled some skin with it. Holy SHIT that hurt. I had 2nd degree burns on my tit, had to see a plastic surgeon for scar therapy. You can't really see it in the winter but in the summer the sun will really bring it out. I also have a lovely scar on my knee that is the result of too many cocktails and stiletto heels...I ate pavement in a sparkly dress and got right back up and hit the bar...bleeding. I was too drunk to care. I have various scars along my legs from being a rough and tumble kid in gymnastics. And alos several from fights my sis and I got into when little.

Used to sing the crap out of 'Hollywood Nights'. I used to think his neck was going to burst open any second....man! Bill Keenan...he used to talk with Robert Moog when Moog was first getting started. Bill had this switchboard looking/ patchworking thing, aka....Moog synthesizer. We used to do 'Long Distance Runaround' by "Yes" and he'd kick pedals playing the bass line..... And kicking pedals?......Tony Thomas, Memphis Tennessee. Spent three years on the road with him. From Bach's 'Toccata & Fuge' to hard bop and beyond....Tony can kick pedals on a B3....a forgotten part of the 'rig'. The guy was/ is all feet and fingers. Flat out fly!!! He used to work with Groove Holmes (yeah...dualing B3's) after he got off the road. He could work magic with his stops and his wazooo Leslie he was always sooping up. Used to turn the B3 off and on to bend notes. Amazing player..... @Your Public….I grew up playing with B3 players…Darrell Waynescott, gravel-voiced Kentucky boy with way to much soul for a white guy.

(I know -- still in the dark ages). We have direct TV. When we had it installed I asked the guy "are you sure my VCR will work now?" He assured me it wouild. A few months hence (last night) I try it. I knew better but I did it anyway. I turn on the TV and select channel 3, turn on the VCR and find that I have to select TV on the remote to get it to work. One little click over to TV from the Direct TV setting. Figured once the movie is over I'll just go backward to the Direct TV setting, turn off the VCR and everything will be hunky-dory. This is where life as I knew it ceased. Nothing I did could get the Direct TV service back as it was. Not even resetting the defaults on the remote. Not even hitting "reset" button on the box. The TV will not now even turn on and off with Direct TV remote now. If I had had a hand grenade I would have pulled the pin and held it tenderly to my chest. All this is just what a person needs to cap off and otherwise really nice weekend. So I will be calling Direct TV after work. As you might expect I am so looking forward to this.
