HUGE NEWS!!!...

...for all you Rush fans out there.



My Rolling Stone magazine arrived yesterday in the mail. I leafed through it really quickly and I saw that it had a big feature article on Rush. I had already decided that I was going to save the issue for the long plane ride to Chicago this Saturday, so it's taking all the willpower I have not to open up the magazine and read the article before this Saturday. ABSOLUTE TORTURE!!!

Now, for the first time in over thirty years, Rush has performed live on American television. Thanks to Matt for the Colbert Report tip!

Rush belongs in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!

Winter Advice...

With all this blustery weather we've been having here in Basel for the past twenty-four hours, it appears that winter is upon us. I guess there's no better time than the present for a little winter tobogganing advice from Geddy Lee of Rush.

Because I Can!

Mrs. TBF has been out of town since Wednesday. First, she was in New Jersey. Now, she's spending the weekend in Chicago. Next week? I'm not sure; New Jersey, Atlanta? Who knows? She'll be back in Basel this coming Wednesday.

I miss her when she's away, of course!

But...

I have to say that I've been enjoying listening to the new Rush album - Snakes and Arrows - pretty much non-stop since Wednesday afternoon, I woke up at 11:05 this morning (after King woke me up to feed him by sticking his claw in my nostril!), I've been putting raw onions on my salad, AND I've been wearing this shirt for two...no, make that THREE days (luckily it's been cool in Basel this week)!

Because I can, my friends...
