The past few years I've felt like an astronaut on a space station I stayed inside so long. It almost makes me want to go to Gilley's even though I'm not especially fond of Country music. Where I'd REALLY like to go is the beach. I miss breathing the salt air and hearing the rhythm of the waves. Of course, these days it might be more like smelling the Corexit air.Cal Jenningshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04144042881856233043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003982716885685057.post-14670920011176324262012-11-23T15:21:17.662-06:002012-11-23T15:21:17.662-06:00Maybe the creators of blog sites don't like wh...Maybe the creators of blog sites don't like what they see from us dirty commie hippie libtards so they decided to wipe out blogging?Cal Jenningshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04144042881856233043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003982716885685057.post-77175568308468260532012-11-23T08:35:21.236-06:002012-11-23T08:35:21.236-06:00Getting out is overrated.Getting out is overrated.Katy Andershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16323871207793126503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003982716885685057.post-75712267635929884422012-11-22T18:51:57.274-06:002012-11-22T18:51:57.274-06:00I have a huge memory when it comes to music, Katy....I have a huge memory when it comes to music, Katy.
