ok, i'm doing something!
Oct 22^nd, 2008, 10:24pm

it's not what you think though. it's not music related, and i'm sorry. i'm having another baby, ok? very very excited, but also a bit panicked about it. not sure how people manage 2. anyway, baby BOY russo will arrive in february, and until then, i'm just trying to spend all my time with ivy, and get a little sleep. i have also been spending a lot of time fretting about the election and trying to do my part to get obama there. so much is at stake-- our hearts will be broken if he doesn't win. but imagining that victory (without wanting to jinx it, mind you) is too thrilling, and brings tears to my eyes. ok, i'm pregnant, i cry at everything, but you know what i mean.

as always, i am so ashamed that i spend so little time here. most of my computer time is spent buying stuff for ivy, and reading my favorite blogs-- talking points, huffington post, the daily beast, gotham acme, bloesem kids, guaranteed personality... oh, and then there's that damn facebook thing...

hope you're all super well, and i just gotta say, after coming here for the first time in a long time and reading some posts.... i love kay hanley to pieces, but could she please stop posting hideous photos of me on her blog? i mean, if i guess if i had a face like she does (you know, one that looks perfect from every angle), i wouldn't mind if people posted pics of me, but sheesh. i swear things haven't gotten THAT bad you guys-- i'm still me, still here, eating for two and dreaming of the day i finally get my ass downstairs to the studio....

love love love you

me

Hey wow congratulations Nina!!!

Sorry I posted that link to Kay's birthday pictures. It had just been so long since we saw/heard from you. It's nice to hear that things are going well in your world. My sister just had her first boy a month ago and my brother had his boy last December, so I'm an uncle twice over now. It's pretty cool, I've got to say. Can't wait to take the little guys fishing.

Cheers,

Chris

Well Nina, When I came back from the 1st gulf war, and stood down from active duty to active reserves (USMC), I found that I had an opportunity to play Mr. "Mom" - this while juggling a full tuition load at Northern AZ Univ, becoming a reserve deputy with the Sheriffs Dept (Search and Rescue), plus being in my mid 30's at the time - lmao - I managed it and enjoyed the hell out of raising BOTH son and daughter 1 yr apart in age. My boy was 1 yr old, and my girl was new-born, so it offered a proud father a whole new set of perspectives. not to mention priorities, as you can likely imagine. My point is It's Doable, and a distinct pleasure.

Semper Fidelis!

P.S. Gotta say here, that I miss those great ole days catching concerts at the Arie Crown Theater! (early - mid 70's) an epic age!!!!

BY THE MOONLIGHT

Michael Daugherty
Copyright© 1983

There's a place faraway, I've seen in my dreams
Where the night is dark, and the treachery it seems
Is hidden by it's daylight beauty

Ah! There she is!

By the moonlight, she is standing there
One won't realise
if he opens his eyes

In the morning mist, she is waiting there
Spirit of passion
Lady of despair

On a still Autumn night
I was walking thru the wood
The moon rained it's silvery light
Things were as they should

I came upon a clearing
and the wind began to blow
I then felt love and sorrow
My tears began to flow

A pale misty figure
I see her eyes aglimmer

And she's looking at me

I gaze upon her splendor
She beckons with her hand
I'm compelled to follow
To obey her command

Everywhere, in the wood around me
I can hear her mournful voice
She is crying as she sings
My feelings have no choice

I am upon her now
I accept her loving fate
This Spirit is my destiny
My lovely, ghostly mate

She hasn't a heart my dear
Yet there is love and fear
She holds unseen devotion

A melody so sincere
Of a song we never hear
Her music of eternal emotion

Time is standing still; the wood is quiet
Faint voices
Whispers
I can hear them

Tell me she'll be lonely for eternity
My restless, lovely lady
She's so sad it's plain to see

I want to go with her
to have her forever

I am sorry my Spirit child
There is nothing I can do

But comes a time for her and I
to depart our separate ways
Perhaps she'll remember as she goes
How much that we shared
And still, we know that in truth
We'll meet again someday

By the moonlight, she is standing there
One won't realise
if he opens his eyes

In the morning mist, she is waiting there
Spirit of passion
Lady of dispair

Where I'll see her by the moonlight

And she'll be waiting there

Hello Nina!

A few quiet months have slipped by. How are you doing?

Me? I just had a pretty awesome week. Got to go to 3 Letters to Cleo shows last week (2 in Boston and one in Manhattan). Also had some of the best pizza ever at Lombardi's. The trip to NYC ended right for me too, as I just missed that horrible ice storm that hammered MA/NH/VT/Maine. Sometimes good things happen to good people. Wink

Anyway... I thought I'd swing by here and offer a hello!

Hope you and your family are doing fine.

~ XO ~
