This afternoon, we will begin our long journey home after nearly a week in the Bowels Heart of Texas.
She Who Must Be Obeyed, the Mistress of Sarcasm, Elder Daughter and I had a very pleasant dinner yesterday evening in Foat Wuth with Momma d’SWMBO, her husband David, and two couples - friends of very long standing.
Our hosts were Ted and Rita and Al and Rose. Sounds like a movie about a foursome, but no. Ted is an aeronautical engineer - still actively employed in a career spanning over four decades - while Al (who bears an astonishing resemblance to Bill Macy, the actor who played Bea Arthur’s husband Walter Findlay on Maude) is familiar to just about anybody who ever rented a tuxedo in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, or New Mexico.
Soon it will be time to get on the road...but not until we take a peek at this week’s Friday Random Ten. What does the iPod d’Elisson have on tap for us today? Let’s just take a look:

- Peaceful Inside - Moonraker
- One Angry Dwarf (live) - Ben Folds Five
September ’75 I was 47 inches high
Mom said by Christmas I would have
A bad-ass mother G.I. Joe
For your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class
Now I’m big and important
One angry dwarf
Two hundred solemn faces are you
If you really wanna see me
Check your papers and the TV
Look who’s telling who what to do
Kiss my ass good-bye
Don’t give me that bullshit
You know who I am
I’m your nightmare, little man
Vic, you stole my lunch money, made me cry
Jane, remember second grade?
Said you couldn’t stand my face
Rather than kiss me
You said you’d rather die
You’ll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
You shouldn’t push me around
’Cause I will, yes I will
You will be sorry when I’m big
Yes you will be sorry - Everybody Hurts - R.E.M.
- Chopsticks (live) - Ben Folds Five
- Feelin’ Alright - Traffic
- Act I, Scene 3 “Cheers” - John Adams, Nixon in China
- Myst Theme - Robyn Miller
- (They Call Me) Dr. Professor Longhair - Professor Longhair
- Ram People - Moonraker
- I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party - The Beatles
