None of my friends here have even heard of it, I don't think, so finding it here was kind of surreal. Oh my God, I LOVE this song, and I LOVE that album.

Your little Dawg is getting big. Thanks for the message of the Cape. Very cool.

As a father of my own little Z - a girl, however - and three other kids with billowing capes, this song made my year. I downloaded it and it's playing now . . . We haven't known each other very long, but I wanted to tell you what an honor it's been getting to know you through your blog. The best is yet to come . . . May you and yours have a great holiday and may your new year be filled with many wondrous surprises . . . Dude,

This is out of close to 1500 songs... (OKAY! I'm a newcomer to the ipod world! I've only had it a year! I'm one of those late-adopters - I always assume every new gadget/product is a gimmick unless it's been around five to ten years). Yep, this cape song snuggled right in between Kweli and The Roots, right where Guy Clark belongs, of course. Such a funny coincidence.

I just bought that CD last weekend! We used to jump off the garage roof too. But in our case I think it was less belief in flying and more hurry to get off the roof so we wouldn't get in trouble for being up there to begin with. That last picture is SO cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah Arizaphale - I'm not sure I buy the 99% thing either. Well maybe, who knows? You're probably right - the insurance people. Oh!

"He’s going to reach an age at which I’m going to have very little influence on his choices" Don't you believe it. It only looks that way. Everything you are doing now and in the next ten years (and beyond) will influence his choices for the rest of his life; although at some point he'll have to stop blaming you. ;-) No, seriously, the input you are giving him, the time you are spending, all this makes him the man that he will become. Preston: I'm not sure that the statistics support 99% of you blokes surviving. Ask an insurance actuary. Crocs rock. Especially red ones. I mean, a shoe you can hose down, does it get any better than that? Stellar post AFM.

JChev - He is, isn't he? Father Muskrat - I've not, but will do if I ever find myself in Nashville again. It is that Bluebird, yes. Nichole - He loves the Crocs. Insisted on wearing them to day care today. Why does everyone hate Crocs? TUB - I've warned Dr. O'C that the next one better be a girl. Angel - I mean, have you ever tried them on? I used to hate them too. Gypsy - Cheers. Mongola - Thanks for answering Dr. O'C's question. Now I won't have to survey people at Xmas dinner. Courtney - Then I tried them on and they really are the most comfortable shoes ever. And my new red ones - come on, a certain panache. They exude confidence, because how many guys can wear shoes intended for ladies and pull it off? Chris - Yeah, when I met Dr. O'C I knew she was good breeding stock. And matching shoes? That's just style. Preston - Thanks and welcome aboard. As for crazy stuff - as a boy it was fine, it was worse as a teenager and adult. TT - Stupid vampires.
