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:

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?

If I scrunch my nose up and sniff…I can smell the Vegemite cheese toast. 👍😁
@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Bobk37 @CanisPundit @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
Speaking of nutritious veggie spreads — Marmite, in this case 😏 — here’s today’s pop prog earworm…at least for the morning (EST):
@InUnfunky @Bix @Bobk37 @CanisPundit @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
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.
@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
J Law. As is Jennifer Lawrence?
@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 @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
This makes Papi cry.
@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?
@JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
Yes, but I liked how the book ended. For now, I will leave it there.
@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 @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
Pass books around, I always say.
Free love
of books
@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
Cooking dinner, forgot the pic.
D’oh.
@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
And oh yeah, NE IPAs too.
Can’t forget those.
😏
Bay State in Woostah!
@JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
FYI, sexual abuse scenes are rougher in the movie, than in the book. IMO.
@Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
For me it was the torture scenes. I covered my eyes and ears.
@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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATkOnCZPVqc
@Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
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.
@InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bix @Bobk37 @CinnamonGirlE @evamarie @UmbaSaffire
We didn't ask for your input.
