Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:

Welcome, friends, to another edition of The Southpaw Jones Fun Time Gazette. I’ve been going since August and feeling pretty good about the whole thing. Thanks for stopping by from time to time. Today, I’m asking for comments, suggestions, criticism, whatever. I plan to take next week off for the holidays, so this week I can wrap up the year and see how I might improve southpawjones.net in 2007. So do me a favor, click on the comment link, and let me know what you think! Which feature do you like best/least? What would you like to see more/less of? You get the idea…

And Another Thing…
More verbosity with velocity and viscosity:

I love music, and I love when music makes me love music all over again in a fresh way. I was listening to John Aielli’s Ekelektikos on KUT during my lunch break a few days ago, and I heard some lovely crooning over crisp jazz piano. I did a little research and discovered it was Bill Evans on piano and Tony Bennett on vocals doing Some Other Time.

It’s not a holiday song explicitly, but it feels very wintery and appropriate for all the craziness of the season. It could be about lovers, friends, family, or all of the above. Check it out on
Bill Evans & Tony Bennett - The Tony Bennett Bill Evans Album - Some Other Time
if you like, and peruse the lyrics below. I bought the entire 1975 album, myself, and I’m digging the heck out of it.
Where has the time all gone to?
Haven’t done half the things we want to.
Oh, well, we’ll catch up
Some other time

This day was just a token,
Too many words are still unspoken.
Oh, well, we’ll catch up
Some other time.

Just when the fun is starting,
Comes the time for parting,
But let’s be glad for what we’ve had
And what’s to come.
There’s so much more embracing
Still to be done, but time is racing.
Oh, well, we’ll catch up
Some other time.

Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:
Hast thou not acted against sincerity?
Hast thou not felt ashamed of thy words and deeds?
Hast thou not lacked vigour?
Hast thou exerted all possible efforts?
Hast thou not been slothful?
