Once, I had to work here for a court case. It was dark and lonely in that part of Boston:

I have lived and worked in Boston and absolutely loved it. City life was fun when I was younger, but I ended up going back home to seas of trees and peace and quiet.

Boston's only a 45 minute train ride, so I go into the city a lot during the warmer weather. That's where I go book shopping...lol.

Yesterday, I was telling KazzyH that I would like to have a vacation house in Maine. Maybe, one day.

Trey, do you want some pop-ish #ProgRock?

Speaking of nutritious veggie spreads — Marmite, in this case 😏 — here’s today’s pop prog earworm…at least for the morning (EST):

Makin' deals, huh?

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Bobk37 @CanisPundit @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with Bix
And I'd get Him to swap our places
He’d be drivin’ up that road
He’d be drivin’ up 95/91
He’d be drivin’ up New England
Say, if I only could, oh

@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

We all see this Brokeback CoSo Hallmark movie playing out during a Weekend In New England:

@InUnfunky: @Bix I wish I knew how to quit you.

@Bix: I wish you knew how too. Have you considered blocking me or Googling for guidance?

😂😂

The Bixie & Trey love story will live on through the years. Maine farmers will tell the tale of love to their youngins and they'll tell their youngins, on and on it'll go, through the ages, as a sweet love song plays in the background. And we get to say we knew them when.

@CanisPundit @InUnfunky @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

They were quiet boys, pretty much kept to themselves. Occasionally they could be heard fighting over the record player, but things calmed down once the sweet voice of Frank Zappa floated over the cornstalks.

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

WRONG

My Dear Bixie HATES Zappa.

Inconsistency number 2!

The story begins to fall apart...

In an attempt to head off the next romantic canard...I also DO NOT LIKE motorcycle rides on the beach. Bixie DOES.

Nyah nyah.

Next?

🤓

@InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

We didn't ask for your input.

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

LOL

"Brokeback Mountain" with strains of "Liberty Valance" and "Cruising"...

I'm more of a "Priscilla"/"To Wong Foo" kinda guy.

That's why Bixie n' I broke up.

😉

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

Speaking of Bixie --

Hey Bixie! I finished "American Psycho" this afternoon, with "Glamorama" up next. Then perhaps I'll give Ellis a break and read that book with yer gurl J Law on the cover, you know, the one that predicted Maria Butina. 😆

@InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

J Law. As is Jennifer Lawrence?

@InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

Fine.

They often walked hand in hand on a seaweed covered beach in Florida, occasionally stopping to gather seashells. Later, they'd enjoy a quiet dinner of Totino's pizza rolls while relaxing on their lanai, daintily decorated with flamingos.

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

Sigh.

This one could POTENTIALLY be true; at one point Bixie was in S FL while I was at USF (Tampa). That's about 2.5 hours between each region.

But this also goes for you n' I, dear Ex. And we were closer in terms of distance...

Escandalo!

@InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

Except I'd never eat Totino's pizza rolls or call a screened in patio a lanai. I did, however, peg you for a closet flamingo collector.

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

Flamingos?

What does the state bird of New Jersey* have to do with this?

Totino's?

Yuck.

I did have some Bagel Bites at a party once in 1988.

Good times.

*Obligatory "Thing Fish" reference for the day...

@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

Trey, I can change.
I will open my heart to Zappa, move over Buckaroo Don Rich.

He's trying to change Trey! I love a love story 💙

@CinnamonGirlE @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

😂 I have real tears!

@Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

I'm laughing my ass off. 😂😂😂

@Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

Bixie, put the couch in the prenup. Just sayin.

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune.

I am now playing some J.J. Jones on squawking sax. Hopefully, Trey will get down with me.

According to the love story, there shouldn't be a problem with your request. 😉😎

Plot inconsistency!

I don't like Maine, so there.

And oh, by the way...

Wrong tune, too.

I recommend it, it's beautiful up there. Just a side note, Maine folk take a long time to warm up to outsiders. They're welcoming, but a bit slow to thaw...lol.

@JoyfullyDazed @Bobk37 @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire

Sounds good to me. I only like to talk to people via social media.
