I really miss this blog, Gerard. But I also really miss compelling sporting events. Being both a Mets and non-NFL man, these are dark days. I guess I could catch up on my reading or write a pop song but that seems like a lot of effort. 42 day till the Knicks season opener.

Gerard,

Jesus f*ck, that is scary as all hell to wake up with your house on fire. thank the cosmos and the Austin fire department that everyone made it out ok. my thoughts are with you. echoing offers of some posters above â€“ though it’s a relatively small thing in the magnitude of this â€“ when you finally do get re-settled and want to re-build some of your jazz collection, please don’t hesitate to ask.

stay strong,
Steven

Wow, I just got back from Iceland and read this, I’m sorry to hear about this, something like this happened to me back in 1988, only not so severe…if you need any conflicts or any particular old obscure 7″ or vinyl…i’d have to look through and find them, but like magee and others have said, you’re welcome to whatever i might have…but like george carlin always said, “my stuff is stuff, but your stuff is shit.” so my stuff must be shit…

really, really sorry to hear about the fire. my office burned about 15 years ago, and i thought that all was lost. but, of course, it wasn’t. let all of us know when you need some encouragement.

Gerard,

This is terribly terrible! It’s like the burning of the Alexandria Library, only with socks and linens biting it too. You should make a list of stuff you need and send it around to concerned parties. Count me on that list, my record collection is certainly open to you if you need to replace stuff.

Hope you are okay and things get back on track soon. From an old Sick&Tired mailing list participant…
