Thanks to everyone for chiming in with their thoughts about El Bloggeroo, as we say down here south of the border.
I particularly liked Herb’s notion of going 30 days without a post mentioning … well, you know. That guy.
So, let’s! Starting today. For the next 30 days, anyone craves the latest news, analysis and commentary on that particular topic will have to look elsewhere while we air out the joint. Smells like bronzer and Coca-Cola in here.

The “other” guy who shall not be named, eh?
I have a list. Got the idea from some other guy. You know. That dude.
have you ever heard the song ‘little fluffy clouds’ from the orb? every time i see your cloud pictures it reminds me of that tune. ricky lee jones does some of the narration.
Yeah, Herself and I used to crack wise about that every time we saw some nifty clouds. I had no idea Ricky Lee Jones had a hand in it. She’s the chick Tom Waits has cuddled up against the T-bird on the back cover of “Blue Valentine,” y’know.
Here’s one of my fave RLJ tunes:
Speaking of Rickie Lee…
“Last Chance Texaco” was not a shabby tune.
nice. i haven’t heard that song in a while. i was thinking that tune has a jazz flavor that steely dan had and sure enough their finger prints were all over it.
Ricky Lee Jones rides a bike. Who knew?
Excellent. We can just discuss the Vuelta, Contador’s legacy, and all the climbing!
Pro cycling? OK, here goes. All kinds of talk about Froome and “the double” as if this is somehow much, much easier than winning the Giro and Tour in the same year. But NOBODY has ever won the Tour and Vuelta in the same year unless it was back when the Vuelta was before the Giro. Will this year’s race live up to the hype? LeTour rarely does but I guess we can hope?
Looks like a bear. They get straight after it starting with stage 3. Ow, wow, yow, zow, etc.
Here’s another preview, from CyclingTips.
So there will be no mention of HWMNBNFTD in this blog? OK, I’m in.
EXCELLENT SUGGESTION! I feel better already… Thanks.

More music. “Feelin’ Good”.
Patrick, your title inspired me to seek out the original Broadway cast recording. The recordings of Nina Simone and now Michael Bublé may be more familiar than composer Anthony Newley’s (co-composer Leslie Bricusse) version. From “The roar of the greasepaint the smell of the crowd”(1965).

Betcha don’t make it … 😉
Stan, I don’t mind telling you, it’s gonna be something of an uphill struggle. As Oscar Wilde wrote, “I can resist everything except temptation.”
Stan if I’m the first to bust our bubble, I’ll gladly buy you a pint buddy.
30 days? Easy, sleazy. Clouds?
Works for me!
