Funniest yet

OMG, I totally laughed with this latest visit to ClassicallyHip:

Thank you Italy!

BTW, some milestones are coming up, including my 1,000 post and we just passed 43,300 visitors. Sweet!

History

Thanks for visiting! There have been visitors lately from Kansas City (family in Independence- hi there!), Reno (friends - hello!), Las Vegas (more friends - hey hey!), and all over the world, including Spain, Netherlands, UK, and more. Popular still are my Christmas quiz, Chris Thile review, and Janine Jansen interview. I can also recommend my Helene Grimaud interview here.

Here's something very interesting, before Facebook was a social network, the website url was a business, About Face. Here though is their first college site. Wild and wacky. Thank you Wayback Machine!
