I didn't realize how many of you came through from Duke City fix until their DNS woes kicked up, and y'all disappeared.

Um, yes, I do check my Sitemeter stats often, why do you ask?

I have to say how delighted I've been to have a handful of "driving in heels blog" queries coming out of Albuquerque over the last twenty-four hours. I'm having a downright Sally Fields moment over here. When I started writing this, I didn't expect I'd have much in the way of a readership -- especially a local readership of people I don't know. Or of people I used to know. Or ex-boyfriends.

Who are you people?

Anyway, thank you. I do appreciate it.

Adam just e-mailed me a clip of Eddie Vedder and Bono singing "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World." This is on top of the sixteen Pearl Jam concert bootlegs he's loaded on my iPod in the last several days, and the all-Pearl-Jam-concerts-all-the-time weekend we just survived.

He's very enthusiastic and wants me to share in it, which reminds me I need to make a copy of "October" for Dan, because I don't think he's convinced I actually own it, and I'm about spreading the gospel of Bono.

No, I don't believe I just typed that either.

I'd talk about the rain, but yeah. What can I say? "Wet good. Soggy bad."
