I love this. Thanks Bix. Being born and bred in NE means you never get NE out of your bones. No place else feels like home.

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

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

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.

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

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.

@JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
🤣 😂
The story of the those "Liberal musician roommates in the one bedroom house down the the road".

@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?

🤓

@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

Thanks.

I thought so. One of my favorite movies (and actresses). I have the book waiting to be read.

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

I read the book and then sort of watched the movie (because I knew the story line).
The book is darn exciting, great action parts.

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

I just finished Stephen King's book 'Holly" from last year. So, I am caught up with everything that he has wrote.
Long live the Crimson King of Maine.

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

Did you read Joyland? It's my favorite King book, and the only one that made me cry.

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

I have read every book, except his non-fiction book on the Red Sox.

I am sorry to say that I don't remember Joyland very well.

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

I'm looking forward to reading it, I just have a few others ahead of it.

The movie is really good, I love the ending. Jen is incredible in the role, but there's a few scenes I find too difficult to watch.

Did you know there's two more books in the series?

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

A found copy (heh) very used at the farm stand across the street; someone had placed it with the free Mt. Snow, Stratton, and “Hike VT” maps. Yoink! 🤓

@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.

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. 😉😎

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

Tay I don't play,
too much old garage rock & jump blues for me to look for.

I found this one today.

I like her. She is cute AND she makes MAGA'ners mad just because she said to vote to make abortion legal. She shows that they don't want women use their voices - even the very powerful women.

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

Damn, so many words that say in my head do make it to my fingers.

She shows that they don't want women *to* use their voices

You might be a bigger fan than I am, (though not by much), but I have something you don't. 😉😎

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

WRONG

Plot inconsistency!

I don't like Maine, so there.

🤓

And oh, by the way...

Wrong tune, too.

Try this one.
