How do you feel right now?

[Bupie]

This being the case, I may not need you to come make threatening noises in French, Bupie, although if you felt like flying to Pittsburgh (famed for, well, not much, other than a failing steel industry and people who talk funny), we could go see the Three Rivers Prog festival, which includes IQ and It Bites this year.  Best not wear the brie pajamas there though, as the locals may not be cultured enough to appreciate it.   

That sounds attractive    Is not the Three Rivers the Steelers' stadium ? When I think of Pittsburgh, I first think of the Steelers' ex-coach (can't remember his name right now but as a clue he's got moustaches) who, to be honest, epitomizes the bad/worst sides of American society    I don't think I would have the unhappiness to meet him in your Prog festival, though ...

Back to topic. Feeling exhausted after three days of climbing (few), moiuntain biking (very few) and rose wine drinking (a lot !). I left the beer to the guests ...

I feel good. Tired but good.
It has been a productive day.

[Manatee]

Still tired but I don't wish I was dead like I did yesterday.  Went to a very fun Memorial Day party on Saturday, but I had a little too much fun and paid for it in a big way the next day.

Three Rivers Stadium was indeed the former home of the Steelers (also the Pirates baseball team), but it's been all the rage to build new stadia lately, and both teams have new ones now.  Not sure which Steelers coach you mean -- they've had a few well-known ones, but I don't recall any that were particularly controversial.  Pittsburgh sits at the intersection of three rivers: the Ohio, the Allegheny, and the Monongahela, so I imagine they've got a lot of things called "Three Rivers" there.

Can hangovers last three days?   I had a "big day" on Saturday, and not only don't I feel like drinking, I don't even feel like eating.

That depends how much you drank. 

I feel ... okay.
That's it. Just okay.

[PH]

I feel... also okay.

The weather is fine and so am I.

[The Butterfly Man]

I feel good because:

- The weather is great
- There's a long weekend ahead
- Only 2 more 'workdays' after that, then it's Cuba-time next friday
- I just pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition of Dream Theater's new album!

Perhaps his desert island discs.

[Nicky007]

Are the DT vinyls 78rpm, then?

Indeed, I'll just take my iPod so I have a large part of my music-collection with me!

Sadly DT's new album won't be released until the 19th of June, so I have to wait until I get back home from Cuba. Hmm, why did I pre-order it in the first place? Now I have to come back from Cuba after all...

Tom

[maddox]

I feel good.
I just saw a show of that dude who did Achmed, the dead terrorist. Now i personally think that that show is overrated, big time, but the show he did with the other doll ... i laughed my socks off.

As it was clearly going to be a hot one today I thought I'd mow the lawn early.  Boy, am I glad I did!

[bellanova]

Los Endos were good last night. Its so good to hear some classic old Genesis stuff!

[The Butterfly Man]

I feel excited, I just finished my last day at work, so now it's Cuba-time!

The plane leaves friday morning but I've got a lot of things still to do tomorrow so I guess this is my goodbye for now. I'll still be around tonight though so if you've got something to say, you better say it now!

Take care guys, and I'll 'see' you when I get back!

You lucky man!
Have a GREAT time there! And I wish you a safe trip!
I'm very interested in nice photos, so make sure you'll take the right ones!

[Iggy]

Have a great time Tom, bring me back a cigar. 

[The Butterfly Man]

Thanks a lot guys!!!

Mad, Paco, rest assured: I'll take lots of pictures!

And Iggy, too bad I won't fly over England (Amsterdam - Madrid - Havana) otherwise I'd have bought you a cigar!

Glad, and shameful:

Just read that a vote in the Dutch Parliament has banned all mink fur production per 2018 ( that can seem a loong time ahead, but ok, I' m willing to give the farmers some time to adjust). In Denmark we're not even close to such a ban, while in Sweden it's goin back and forth (they just got a liberal government recently, so it's "back").

Mink production is one of the vilest things on earth, as it's mistreatment of animals solely for making fancy women appear (in their own and peer's eyes) even fancier. At least with meat production, it's democratic, as everybody - minus veggies - gets a kick outta it.

China, Denmark and Netherlands are currently the biggest mink producers. With China, we can wait a real looong time, cause they care f.a. about animals, in fact often they don't even seem to care about some of their human citizens. Yeah, that's "communism" for you 

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

Thanks a lot guys!!!

Yeah, also I wish you a great trip, Tom. (I'm sure you'l be goin on the internet in Cuba, with a cigar puffin outta yer mouth (and promise me to put on Wish You Were Here then)) 

And take care. Stick around with friendly people, and don't go off on your own - some good advice from an oldie, who wants you back in good shape 

And tell us if you hear some good music over there (or drink some good beer) 

Nicky.

Stressed.  Right out.
