[Rhodes22-list] Turtles, Politics, and Sailing

[brad haslett]

Slim,

That wasn't at Tricia Nixon's wedding was it?  The
Turtles played that gig.

The last of the snow melted here last night.  All
systems are go for a New Year's day sail.  I usually
don't participate in "amatuer night", otherwise known
as New Years Eve, but my buddy is driving down from
Illinois and we're spending the night on the boat.  He
doesn't have my steely self-dicipline so there will
probably be a local honky-tonk involved.  A few of the
local bands are quite good depending on who made bail
that weekend.
