Hello Music Lover!

"The next stage of human evolution has to be survival of the wisest, not survival of the fittest. For that we need intuition, compassion and a woman God."
-- Deepak Chopra, from Time Magazine, February 25, 2008

"
In fact, if there were more women in positions of power, not just in Congress, but across the United States and around the world, lots of things would be better. Not perfect. But better. We’d have more representative government; a stronger economy; and a healthier and more sustainable planet. We’d be better able to resolve conflicts and keep the peace. We’d have stronger families."
-- former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers, from Why Women Should Rule the World”, publisher HarperCollins 2008
 
And wouldn't that world be better for men, too?
Food for thought.
That's all I have to say about that.
For now.

Perhaps you would rather think about feminine sax appeal. Gotcha covered there, too...


My friends in San Jose finally have a chance to enjoy hot sax in their own neighborhood! In the heart of Santana Row is a brand new restaurant featuring tasty cajun cookin' and some of the best live music around.

P.S.  A man is driving up a steep, narrow mountain road. A woman is driving down the same road. As they pass each other, the woman leans out the window and yells, "PIG!!"
The man immediately leans out his window and replies, "BITCH!!"
They each continue on their way. As the man rounds the next corner, he crashes into a pig in the middle of the road.

Warning: You may click the link below to remove yourself from this list, but don't blame me if you hit the pig!
