eclayton lives!

I see you out there buddy. How are you doing tonight?

 

and POOF!... he's gone.

 

Sorry, my friend, I was just lurking a bit, didn't see ya, sure didn't mean to ignore ya!
Sorry we haven't called, but know that you've been in our prayers, and on our minds.

 

I know, and I appreciate that. Are you still here now, or are we forever destined to be just ships that pass in the night?

How are you guys doing and what are you up to???

 

Here I am!



































Over here!



































No, not over there, over here....

















































LOOOK OVERRRRR HERRRRRE! I'M RIGHT IN PLAIN VIEW, DOGGONEIT, CAN'T YOU SEE ME?



























Put yer glasses on, will ya already? I'm wearing a red shirt, standing in the upper deck, right by the left field foul pole, where Carlton Fisk waved it fair......Now can you see me?









































Good, yes, that's me, I can see you too!



I heard you're taking steroids.....planning on playing baseball?

 

Nah. I figure I'll do better by selling them to the athletes.

 

Is your better half still up, or are you huddled over the keyboard in the dark tonight?

 

Yeah, she's watching Malcolm in the Middle. I love that show.

 

BTW, what does "eclayton lives" mean? I only have one, you know. It's the cats that have 9.

 

Are you guys off to the summer home again this year? If so, how soon? Weather should be getting nice up there pretty soon. It's already nice down here; was close to 80 & sunny here today.

 

"Live" with a short "i", rhymes with sieves (even though the spelling is different). Meaning "exists".

I didn't mean to insinuate anything about reincarnation.

 

Hey man, you always appeared to be one cool cat to me!

(Oh God! My '50s roots are showing!)

 

Yeah, the plan for this year is: Vacation in April for a week, Cornerstone Festival crew June 20 through July 11. Visit family in Seattle July 18 through July 27th (first time in 4 years) 2 week vacation in August, with plenty of Crossing gigs in between, and hopefully the recording studio this fall.

 

You're saying I need to live with a short eye? And make rhymes with sleeves? What does that mean?

Oh well, here goes...

Sleeves.

Jeeves.

Heaves.

Leaves.

Bees....oh, wait, no, that's not right...

 

Wow. Sounds like a GREAT summer. You guys aren't going to be playing anywhere near here this year are you? I'd sure love to see and hear you guys again. And you'd better let us know if/when something new comes out of the studio. I'll be one of your first customers. We CAN buy your stuff online, can't we?

 

Cindy says "Hi" and sorry she hasn't been around. She'll pop in more often, she promises.

 

You'd better stick to music and maintenance. Are you still doing the maintenance stuff for the Home, or have you moved to something else yet?

 

Hi back. I'll keep an eye out for her. Or an "i". Or something.

 

I'm not sure what's in store for the fall. I am hoping we head South, and if we do, I'd sure love to see you again.

Why YES, Gary, you CAN! http://www.grrrrecords.com/

(this was not an intentional marketing ploy)

 

Yes it was. I set it up for you.

 

Yep, still on the Home Crew. We just renovated the entire dishroom, and are now getting ready to paint the dining room. Then some renovation on 5th floor here, as well as some renovation in the basement. I have job security!

 

(punches Gary lightly in the shoulder) You kidder, you!

 

And no doubt satisfaction from accomplishing things that are worthwhile. Both good things.


Eric, I sure hate to say this, but I've got to bow out and head for bed. I'm not the night owl I used to be, and currently I HAVE to get as much of a night's sleep as I can. But I'll be keeping my "i" out for you. Catch you later.

 

No, I'm no relation to Margot.

 

g'night, Gary. It's good to chat again.
