It appears that we are transitioning nicely from Black Fly Season to Allergy Season (on our way to Deer Fly Season, which normally peaks in July). I got to the point where I had to go sit inside last night because my nose was running, my eyes were itching, and my head was pounding. It did give me a chance to flip around the channels and settle on “History of the Eagles” on Showtime. I guess it took place in two parts, and I caught the end of Part I and then Part II. Great music, of course. Don Henley and Glen Frey came off as, how shall I put it nicely, rather impressed with themselves.

There’s one part when Frey said he told the Eagles’ manager that, regarding a reunion,

“I’m not going to do it unless Don and I make more money than the other guys.”

I thought, “how very Republican of you Glen.” I suppose he and Don were the big names (well, Joe Walsh, too, but he was kind of busy drinking himself to death and he just happy to have an excuse to get sober), and maybe Glen was hurting for money at the time or something and couldn’t spare a couple percentage points for his band mates. But to me it just seemed like typical Wall Street/Republican “score keeping.” And there seemed to be an awful lot of “our music is great, we’re great” talk.

Of course, they’re music is pretty darn good, but, hey, how about a little false humility, at least?

Well at least Henley has that whole Walden Woods thing going on.

Anyhow, I guess I’d better get back to work. Just another 6 hours to kill.
