The Fog Layer

It flows in off the ocean
 and fills the bay's nooks
 and crannys
Its much cooler to look down at the fog than up at it.

Foggy Mountain Breakdown

I miss Dave but not Paul.

And that Steve Martin is one talented son of a bitch.
I have always liked him.

"A day without sunshine is like, you know, night."
"I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, 

wholesome things that money can buy."

"Talking about music is like dancing about architecture."

"I got a flue shot and now my chimney works perfectly.
