Ahh, I thought I remembered someone having the node name ALTHEA.  I was 
surprised when I put in for it and got it!

Chuck

Chuck,

	That was my node for a while, moving one of the two offices that I 
have to MRO1, and not being willing to wait for the de-registering of that 
area 9 address made me decide to give it up.  Enjoy!


Kevin 

	spent some time talking with John Heffernan at 
	Slip Into Summer on Saturday...guess what - he's graduated!
	That was fast!  So now, he's interviewing for an 
	elementary teacher job and he's pretty excited about
	starting his new career...

	He spent most of the day juggling and entertaining ...
	as it got darker, he LIT UP his "devil's sticks" and
	was flipping these burning twirling things through
	the air!  YOW!

	Debess

 Was definitely nice to see and talk to John again...

Some old DECcies I saw at Shoreline were Seth (and Etsuko) Jackson, and
Kevin (and Jackie) Clarke.  Andy Nourse also made it out in time for the
Cal Expo run.  The incredulous look on his (and I'm sure on all of our)
face during Baba O'Riley said it all 8-).  I also saw Ken Blakkan (who
did not do any bungee-jumping before the show last time I checked, but
he can verify this for himself 8-) and John Mirassou (old DECcies, but
not ex-DECcies ;-)

peace,
t!ng

    
    Does anyone have John H's phone number?  
    
    Tree

Tree:
	I believe John's phone # is 508/264-9410

    FYI:
    
    I called, the number's been changed to 508-371-1423 which makes sense
    since he moved to Concord...
    
    Thanks Jeff...

    Debess called me this morning.  She misses us all and hopes to meet up 
    with folks in Albany before the Sunday show.  She did mailaway and
    with her order, included a note that told about how 20 years ago on
    3/28, she and Guntis (?) had their first date/first show...so
    please_please_please_please could they get ticket order filled for
    Albany this time, even though it wasn't an Albany show that they went
    to 20 years ago.  And LO and BEHOLD !  They got all three nites.  she
    got fourth row floor section 2 for sunday nite.  tell me that GDTS
    doesn't read every order !!  
    
    So that calls for a celebration...let's see if we can figure a meeting
    up spot on Sunday before the show - I'll take this subject to the
    proper note : "meeting-up places" 
    
    Anyway she is doing great things for herself (in addition to looking
    for work) :  x-c skiing, health club, bought a PC, joined a UU woman's
    support group, and generally feeling peaceful.
    
    Her phone # (603)654-2757

That just reminded me...It was 20 years ago this spring that I saw my
first Dead show, in the Philly Spectrum.

    Hey, me too.  Except it was Nassau instead of Philly.  I guess that
    makes me another old fart (if not quite 40 ;-)  And is this year
    20 or 21 for you Ger??

Lotsa late October babies in here!

    yup.
    
    Tree (10/30/67)

Must be a general trend - perhaps related to conditions
in the northeast around mid- to late January: cold.

10/29/54

I'm 2 days from being 'late' (10/14/66)

    re .20
    
    I don't think you can extrapolate northeast weather conditions to me
    (10/24/55). Wrong hemisphere.
    
    gary

    I have no idea what the current discussion is, but I'm a 10/30/62!

    We're going to have to have a BIG party the end of October!  
    
    :), danielle

    What are we talking abut October for? SHeesh it's March!
    
    	And besides June is sooner and what topic am I in anyway?
                  (6-24-63)
    ^dave may be feeling wrapped up, but I'm having a moving experience
    
    Where did he say that anyway?
    Geoff

    There's a bunch of March birfdays coming up if I remember correctly.

    Sounds like a good excuse for a Halloween Party.  I knew we'd get
    around to something constructive.  If you remind me, I'll play host.
    
    tim
    

    I might have Halloween covered for a party :')
    
    
    Chris...at least it will be for me !

I tried to convince deb of getting hitched on halloween - everyone would wear
an intense custume and i'd be dressed like a groom and deb like a bride.
electric punch, the whole bit...

she didn't go for it.

    Jen and I are (close enough anyway to halloween) getting hitched on 
    the 30th of Oct.
    
    and not at KFC ;')
    
    
    :')

    
    to continue this digression even further...  yes, Ger is right...
    he remembers the MMDBAC's of years past...  (mid-march dechead birthday
    and anniversary celebration)  they started when it became evident that
    Scot Abbot and myself shared a birthday (march 16th) with a truly
    psychadelic individual from a band we all know and luv...  (anyone out
    there know who?)  i think it was also Debess' anniversary?  hmmm...
    have all our mid-march celebrators (except me) left us???
    
    					da ve

    
    Phil Lesh's birthday is March 15th.  (Along with my friends Jon and
    Lloyd, btw :-))
    
    beware the ides...

    And not just during March.
    
    The kalends can be nasty too, especially in April.
    
    I've heard of children named Cassandra, what a name to curse them with.

	Gee Ger, I think your right, but *who* could we be forgetting?  :-)

    hhmmmm, yes, who are we forgetting PHYLLIS?  oh, and thanks, PHYLLIS,
    for pointing out that Phil's b'day is the 15th...  i was under the
    obviously mistaken impression that his was the 16th! 
    
    and don't forget to PHYLL US in (ooooo!  did i say that??? :^) when 
    you remember who we're leaving out PHYLLIS!  :^)  :^)  :^)

    I don't know what you're all talking about.  I've already decided not
    to have a birthday this year.  I thought you knew.
    
    

why is that?  wouldn't be one of those birthdays with a zero on the end now
would it?  :-)  :-)  :-)

    
    go away.
    
    

    
    YOU MEAN PHYLLIS IS GOING TO BE FORTY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
    
    i, for one, am shocked...  i never would have guessed...  she always
    struck me as someone who would be perpetually 29...

    	re .42
    
    	Yup, 40.....  but I don't feel like it at all.  Even w/all the
    	b.s. this place is giving me lately, I should feel that old, but
    	still don't.  But, then again, I had someone guess my age as
    	around 35 or so a couple of days ago.  Age is absolutely
    	relative.....  (only problem is that time speeds up as you get
    	older 8*(   )........

I've been scolded so I feel it only right to tell you the truth.  Next week
Phyllis will turn 20, again.  Kind of like how Mystery continues to suprise
himself at his annual 24th birthday party.  :-)

    much better.  You can get out of the corner and have your dessert now.
    ;-)
    
    

Age Worship, Shmage Worship.  When all you Baby Boomers and X-Generationalists
reach Geritol age, the American Materialism Kult will worship you at the
Alter of the Almight Doller.  Say it loud, say it proud - IT IS TRUE, I
AM NO LONGER YOUNG!

    I had a birthday last Sunday.  I turned, cough, 37!
    
    Yikes,
    
    3-7-56_Marv
    

Thanks Phyllis, but what could possibly top the yogurt I had for breakfast?  ;^/

and Happy Belated Birthday Marv!    

There's some kind of irony, or at least a hidden straight
line in the fact that all this talk of age and birthdays
is in the "Gone but not forgotten" note.

I too think time speeds up as you get older.  Really
old people don't actually die, but rather they just jump
into warp speed and vanish.  Sometime in the next millinium,
there's a whole shitload of formerly old people, hangin'
out, waiting for the rest of us to catch up....?

tim_running_at_full_impulse_power_:-)

    
    Happy Birthday Marv!!
    
    

    Thanks for the "Happy" wishes.  
    
    Time speeding up.  Consider this:
    
    When I'm 10 a year is 1/10th of my life.  That's a big chunck.
    
    When I'm 37 a year is a mere 1/37th of my life.  Not such a high
    percentage.   I imagine that by the time I reach 50-60 a year will seem
    like a month compared to when I was 16.
    
    Marv
    

    
    In the category of rationalizing things:  what if we live to have a 3
    digit age!!!! 
    

Hey everybody!  I just talked to Debess on the phone for a bit.  She said
to say hello to everyone and to tell you all that she missed Grateful lots.

It sounded like she is gonna be seeing Slipknot at the White Horse later
this month...we were just getting to that when her dime ran out! :-)
