Nice pull, Cormanus! And, you gave me food for thought with that one...
Saturday night is my best friend's annual backyard karaoke party. It is quite the happening, and takes over a week to set up. I helped him build the stage in his backyard last weekend, and I'll help him with the lighting and effects tonight.
Each year, he and his wife come up with a theme. This year, it's solo artists who were once in a band. I'm going for a high-speed, low-drag approach, so I don't want to do an elaborate costume. (Mrs. G is going as Bjork, and will try to pull off the weird hairdoo) Mark Knopfler was one I hadn't thought about... and I love his music, both solo and with Dire Straits. Brothers in Arms was the third CD I ever bought, and it spent a lot of time spinning in the Sony portable CD player on the passenger seat of my Dodge Dart.
However, I think I'm going with Robert Plant. That way I can wear a name tag that says "I have a Big Log"
And thanks for all of your support while I agonized over my boot purchase, guys. Seems like such a trivial thing, but it consumed me for quite a while. And, looking at it, that's not a bad thing in terms of how my life is going right now. If my brain has this much room to devote to footwear, there must not be a lot of other stressful things going on up there.

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
