I had to search for it, but I remembered there was some cool stuff!  Enjoy!!!

I have been watching the news.  Seems our hero is beating himself up pretty badly.  He lived there a year and never noticed anything.  He knew the guy, barbequed with him, saw his "grandchildren" playing in the back yard with the dogs, and never noticed anything amiss.  During one interview he said something to the effect of, "either I'm really dumb, or this guy is that good."  He's beating himself up over being "really dumb".  That's tough, and he's clearly a lower class average Joe.  I feel for the dude.  I hope he is able to get past his own issues with this, and truly realize that he DID do something GOOD!

As far as neighbors... I can honestly say I don't know mine well at all.  I don't even know how many people live in that house.  I only know ABOUT them from other people that have told me they're good people.  I've lived here over 10 years and have only ever waved hello while mowing the lawn.  Up until now, it's been nice to not have nosy neighbors, and not be the nosy neighbor but to just co-exist quietly next door.  After my daughter disappeared Sunday (Autism... wandered off and within earshot never answered me when I was calling her - police were called to help search, etc...) and was found on our neighbors side porch hiding behind a large planter... I think it's time to bring over cookies and finally get to know them a little better.

edited a grammatical error that was eating away at me

Rochester is a little closer.  Yes Jeff!  I'll firm up some plans soon, in the event anyone else can make it as well to get the planning started.  Turns out my job will be winding down far sooner than thought as well, so I'll have lots of time on my hands this summer.  Thank God for the second job!

Ok, so since it sounds like we have no serious takers and just a few maybes, I am just going to plan something with family in mind... and I'll let you all know when and where and of course your invited to join us in you can.  Jeff-Topdown, if you can make it close enough, we'll come get ya and bring ya back to the airport too!  Albany is only about an hour and a half or so from here.  I drive further than that daily for work.

KEEP NEXT YEAR in mind though all PLEASE!  My son is graduating next year and we've planned to have a huge blow out for him.  He's never had anything huge in his honor... so we're thinking BIG!  Although you don't see him on Chordie much, he's a big time lurker.  He's joined a few skype Jams as well and would love to have you all come.  This won't be a gift expected invite either... just a huge bash that'll be good ole backyard NY Redneck fun.  Any one of you coming would be more than gift enough.  So... stay tuned for 2014 plans!

If need be, I would drive to Albany and pick you up.  Jim and I and the kids NEED to meet you in person!

And I will miss another one. Stephie has a dane competition tonight. You all have fun. Play our song Jeff!!

Glad you and your family are ok Joe.  Thanks for the info on the local channels.  I always wonder what the LOCAL new looks like compared to what we get here.  I might check that out today while I'm enjoying my day off.    I agree wholeheartedly as well with Jerome.  I HATE when the media jumps and says anything and everything they hear, people make assumptions before any possible truth is known.  BUT... I agree with others too, there should be the harshest punishment possible for those found guilty.  I am hoping that the man left alive is co-operating now.  Not for HIS SAKE of course... but for those innocent families that need answers and all of us that need safety.

Like Russell said, it's a search engine.  So, to do what you're suggesting... well... would be a chore.  You would have to find a place to host your files and have them in the proper format for chordie to read them.  Then, you'd have to submit to the admin and he may or may not include all of them.  There is a program though for free that you can download and put your songs on (you'd have to format them properly).  Then at least you would have a computerized version.  I believe the program has apps for android and maybe ipads too.  There's a free version and a paid version.  If you are interested I can get the name of the program for you.

Hee hee hee!  I had a GREAT time in LA!  I NOW understand why they call it "Sunny California".  Got home and realllllly missed that constant sunshine and no rain.  It was a little colder than the weatherman said it would be, but it was still warmer than home (and sunny!).  I had a lovely poolside patio room that all were jealous of.  Although it seems silly to be excited about it, I got to see smog and homeless people.  I'm not "excited" about it, but it was an experience.  The plane ride was awesome flying across the US.  I have pictures of the Rockies from the sky, which is pretty cool.  OH... and I learned how to do my job.  And can I just say... TRI TIP = AWESOME.  Heated pool = AWESOME.  Hot Tub = AWESOME.  But the best part of all is that I met some folks from other places, and had a really great time hanging out in the evenings and relaxing for ONCE without the family.  I missed the kids and hubby, but it was so nice to just take care of ME for 6 days!  I am SOOOO glad I got back before the Boston Marathon too.  I can't imagine what the airport security must be like this week.

Desperado or Killing me softly.  I can't decide on just one. Desperado speaks to me but I "feel" Killing me Softly.

I'll be in LA... at the Marriot at LAX to be more specific.  Job training all day, then hopefully it will be warm enough to get my North East body under a little sun.  I think I'm starting to blend in with the snow.  :-D

It'd be nice if google hangout will let me use my tablet too (skype doesnt).  Let me know and we'll give it a try (but I'll be in California without a guitar from April 4-9).
