Yes, I know he's retired. I'm just going to guess 1041 because that's my street address and it's all way too much math for me to do when I don't have to. One of the posts I read in the previous blog blitz mentioned Christmas CDs. We have Esquivel as well. And my brother-in-law-in-law (I'll explain that sometime) recommended the Trans-Siberian Orchestra so we plan to get that one if we can remember. We have the Dr. Demento Christmas CD. We have a pretty eclectic collection that includes Broadway, Roy Rogers, Indigo Girls, Led Zeppelin, Beethoven, and David Arkenstone. A lot of it is on vinyl. We've been looking at CD recorders for the stereo so we can put all our vinyl on CD, but haven't been brave enough to spend that much money. I'm waiting until they get really cheap, like DVD players.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190489990653412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-64008995446164427712008-05-21T07:38:00.000-04:002008-05-21T07:38:00.000-04:00Hey, Suldog -- I think you should give up the Celt...Hey, Suldog -- I think you should give up the Celtics and take up bowling.<BR/><BR/>Following a sports team (which I admit I used to do -- I gave up the Sox after '86 and the Celtics after Reggie Lewis died) is a classic example of co-dependency. You're putting your emotional well-being at the mercy of something that is totally out of your hands. Why do that?<BR/><BR/>Instead, when you're out rolling the rock, you've got (some measure of) control over the outcome. What's more, you have lots of fun, and you get back to something that was once a very important part of your life!<BR/><BR/>Just a helpful suggestion from the U.R.B.A.N.A.T.O.R.

This means most of you are likely to be bored every time I write about it. Get ready to be bored a lot in the coming month!<BR/><BR/>2 - You are a bunch of very entertaining commenters! I can't remember anything I've written that received such a huge pile of truly funny comments like this stupid contest has.<BR/><BR/>So, when I write about basketball again, I expect that you'll be bored, but I'll be highly entertained. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>To answer Goody's question: No, it is not the closest guess without going over. The winner can be above or below the actual total. My hope is that one of you will hit it on the nose.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-19978877788385016842008-05-20T00:28:00.000-04:002008-05-20T00:28:00.000-04:00Go Sox!Go Sox!Stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291201381446319777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-75907591487412003212008-05-19T23:37:00.000-04:002008-05-19T23:37:00.000-04:00As the person who's musical tastes most closely re...As the person who's musical tastes most closely resemble yours, I'm certain I will find the 10 CD's to be just completely horrible...but here goes.<BR/>The Celtics will fall to Detroit in 7 games while scoring a total of 630 points.<BR/>Also wondering if "The Price Is Right" rule applies where you must be closest without going over?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-26364486928165308332008-05-19T23:13:00.000-04:002008-05-19T23:13:00.000-04:00I don't watch basketball much at all.
