Steve.
I have seen "Dig"...more than once. I have tipped a few back with Dr. Newcombe...on a couple of occasions. He really is a sweetheart of a guy. Which 'Lab record is your go-to?

Mad Season
Is that the Pearl Jam/Alice in Chains hybrid?

Yea, I thought that album they did back in 1995 was awesome.

Two Ann Rynd choices and some F. Scott Fitzgerald? A well read group here!
I actually just ordered Altas Shrugged from half.com because I had never read an Rynd before. Looking forward to it. I went to Borders the other day to get it and they wanted $28 for the paperback... yikes. So half.com for $5 delivered was a better option. Last book I finished was "What the dog saw" by Malcolm Gladwell and my iPod is likely playing one of my recent running mixes that I'm making for a 10k next week. If anyone has any good "running" songs I'd like to hear it!

Cardtarget--I would recommend The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand over Atlas Shrugged--especially if you haven't read her before...just MHO.
On my desk I have a lot of 97 newly acquired T206's, a Clint Frank certified auto card, and large group of nonsport n and t cards.... I'm listening to classical music... I'm currently reading "Our Daily Meds".

Hmmm, my favorite Stereolab album varies a bit, but Emperor Tomato Ketchup probably wears the crown most often. Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements is another fave, thanks in large part to the epic "Jenny Ondioline."

I think Jeff Ament (the bassist) and maybe another guy from Pearl Jam were originally in Mother Love Bone.

Jim B- when it comes to the Dead, I'm more into the 1967-70 era. I think they sounded best when Tom Constanten played with them (albeit for only a year and a half).

Cards-(well, posters): An OPC CFL poster, an OPC baseball pinup and an A&BC Footballer pin up, all from around 1970-I need some hard plastics so they are sitting in my inbox until I get some.
Music on the iPod: Leatherface's new album "The Stormy Petrel" (Northern England's post-hardcore masters are the best, son) Book: Kurt Vonnegut-"Look at the Birdie": Unpublished Short Fiction
