I love this expressive snowman. It is either singing an aria or asking “Is That All There Is?” which just happens to be my favorite song of all time. In fact if anyone ids taking notes I would like it to be played at my funeral, along with George Jones’ “He Stopped Loving Her Today” and Eric Dolphy’s “Serene.” Everyone’s talking about the “Hurricane Blizzard” with “Heart Attack (heavy) Snow” so if I die out there in the driveway my affairs will be in order. I used Nolo’s “Willmaker” to to do the office business and I’m still trying to decide where my ashes should go.
Peggi’s mom is still going strong and with the help of an aid she was able to come out to see Margaret Explosion last night. We have been invited to dinner at our neighbor’s house tonight. We should be able to make it back up the hill even if we do get some old fashioned winter weather.

I like that “I don’t know what happened” phrase running through Porch. This is in a similar vein to “Is That All There Is?” The ironic twist of how it all goes by so fast.
Goin’ To Acapulco from the Basement Tapes would make a nice funeral dirge. Don’t Wake Me (live) from 2004 has an elegant quality. Peggi’s playing is mournful–much like her sigh on the original ep version.
And Finally, NOBODY tops ol’ George Jones for sad songs. Pick your favorite, I’ll pick mine…
