...while we were hired ship hands in the South Pacific. They seemed always to be the ones who contracted the strangest diseases. The greatest times I can remember ever having are those early days of Polaroid (which included Brendan Greaves '00 of the Red Essentials). We would drive around Arizona with the top down singing and playing harmonica till the sun rose. Keep an eye out for the upcoming Luksuosowa record (also with Brendan Greaves), several of the tracks have already been licensed to "The Price is Right" as background music...

But all the while, he was chasing much needed campaign cash, just like...
...York, which votes on March 7: fuhgeddaboutit. Despite improvements in the state's unconscionable ballot access requirements, Pataki has kept it sufficiently difficult that it would take a miracle for McCain to qualify in enough districts to have a shot. And Bush is even competing in McCain's Arizona, with Governor Jane Hull's help, which is forcing the Senator to spend scarce resources there...
