I'm fixing to uncork a bottle of Coppola. Anybody want to hang out and chat?
I've got no particular place to go...

'Older' in this case means 'older than me.'
(...because 'older' is a tricky term...)
I've always been attracted to older women, but MAN! Do I have a crush on Jill Biden!

Crude by Western standards; including and especially the sound reproduction.
But these guys shred. This song was recorded in 1983, and has a dark, guitar-heavy sound that wouldn't be popular in the West until the late eighties.
Kino and groups like them wouldn't have lasted long playing and recording songs with political themes. So they sang about daily life in the USSR. Not bad, all things considered.
Anyone ever had the opportunity to listen to Soviet rock and roll?

I just finished a work-out that would punish a ninja!
I took myself out for breakfast this morning, and that usually means lots of fat and carbs. Not to mention all the sugar I sprinkle into my 4 or 5 cups of coffee.
So lots of cardio and lots of weights to make up for it.
One of these days, I'm going to go the full 15 rounds with one_voice! 
I figure: if she punches me the way she punches that bag, I could at least always run away. But now that I know she's training for a 5K...

Day off today. Anybody want to hang out and chat?
I'm doing chores and running errands, but some conversation would be nice...

What's everybody drinking tonight?
I'm enjoying a bottle of Coppola's Cabernet.
Pretty good. Nice and smooth, with some plum notes.
Loungers!
