I'm definitely going to miss Riga!<br /><br />This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I am thankful to those who gave generously for us to help finance this adoption. I'll have further updates when we come back.William L.

Last night's band did some things from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and certainly did nothing to ruin those songs.<br /><br />What we have NOT heard is the rap and the junk with that hard, rapid beat that seems to be coming out of a computer in a disco hall. No one (thank goodness) has been emulating Lady Ga Ga (the empress of acting like a child in order to get more attention) or some of the other creeps on the American scene these days.William L.
