Is that your daughter singing, Jon?

Ah sorry, I glanced through the intro. Little boys and little girls have similar voices. I'm embarassed now.

1 - It's okay :) There's a reason Bart Simpson is voiced by a woman.

The Angels win now gives them a 7 game lead over the Dodgers in the Metro Area battle. It's the biggest margin of the five. The White Sox have rebounded to close the gap a bit on the Cubs.

Wonderful Jon. I hope you've got videotape for your family. Happy belated third birthday to the boy. Buy Bob some pants.

Seeing the Angels beat a really good team in the Red Sox make me very happy. Almost enough to counter the recent Dodger struggles. I'm only truly happy if both the Dodgers and Angels win on a given day, but hey the Dodgers weren't playing so it's almost as good.

Our daughter, an only child, is headed off to college this fall. Thanks for triggering some nice memories for me and enjoy this time for all it's worth Jon, turns out the time truly passes quickly.

11 Pleated or flat front? Cuffed?

Pleated, but not cuffed.

I really need more freakishly long shirts.

3 She's the honorary mayor of the North San Fernando Vally, or Northridge, or some such, just like Montie Montana once was.

where is she going?

14 As a tall man, why not go for the cuffs also? Besides, they should catch enough loose change in a week to power the Prius for a day. As a short, somewhat long-waisted guy, I go flat front and no cuffs.

16 Loyola Marymount. Just far enough to make living on campus more sensible than commuting. Good wallet-lightener too. (I actually commute just a few miles past LMU - how often do you think she'll consent to having lunch with me? Once a semester?)

I almost went there. It was actually really close. If you offer college students free food, they will come :)

20 Free food? Who's offering that? Fortunately, my daughter is petite and doesn't eat much, so I got away with a minimal meal plan. You'd probably eat me out of house and home!

Probably 2 years ago. I don't each too much nowadays.

Andrew Brown's been doing pretty well for the A's since getting called up after the Bradley trade. It's good to see that, actually.

And cute recording, Jon, thanks for sharing.

And Flight of the Conchords - you were right, train, that French song/video was brilliant. Classic.

This is obviously early Weismans. I can sense the heavy bluegrass influence, with subtle rockabilly overtones.

Later Weisman tunes relied more heavily on Eastern influences. The Weisman's cover of "Joltin' James Loney" was dominated by the sitar, and reflected the family's more introspective period.

Jon has transitioned from penniless sitar player to penniless writer.

8 LA, NY, CHI, and I assume OAK/SANF. What's the other metro area rivalry? Orioles and Nats?

The greatest gift Jon has ever learned, is just to love, and be loved in return.

29 In a word, yes. The sizzling DC rivalry is the other one, I'm guessing.

32- Sounds like Jon is the father, not the personification, of Nature Boy, if the report about running around without pants is to be trusted.
