Valentine’s Eve
So, here I am, a “weekend blogger”. In golf, they call such a person a “duffer”. Maybe you could call me a “bluffer”.
Anyway, I’m working on my 2009 Valentine’s podcast, which I vow will be online in time to nibble chocolate and listen to my treacly offering. But just in case you’ve gotten your chocolate windfall early, here are my podcasts from the last two Valentine’s Days, which are just as sweet today.
First, the 2007 blockbuster:

You’re a weekend blogger, and I’ve become a Wordless Wednesday blogger. You’ve still got words, and I seem to have run out. Happy Valentine’s Day.
What a letdown . . . I come for a Philbin Phantasia and get . . . recordings? . . . of other people? My chocolate kisses melt in my hand . . .
Robin - you need to go to the Word Store. You can usually find one at an outlet mall, right next to ScrabbleMart.
Harper - Thanks for stopping! Sorry to disappoint you. You wouldn’t want to hear me sing!
Oh, excellent, both selections. Bunny Berrigan nestling next to Blue Scholars. Elbow - close to being the best band currently touring. Joni with ‘Blue’. Any chance of some mid-year choices too?
Good stuff! I’m enamored of anything from Pink Martini. Now I find that I like Destiny. And, of course there’s forever Joni. I wish I knew how you create these little playlists…so much less cluttered and cleaner than the ones I can create.
