Happy Happy Anniversary youse guyz!

He sounds like a truly amazing soul. So sad for your loss. Hugs and Smiles, Joni

One of my happiest memories of Peter was just this past March when he joined the mouse family for a jam here at the 'Mousepad'. He relaxed and listened to the music for awhile then joined in on the congas. Peter was a wonderful hand drummer. He listened hard and played amazing rhythms and every beat enhanced the groove. Peter then got behind Timouse's drum kit and joined Mark Tonin on guitar and Davey on bass and played well into the night. I remember when he looked up from his drumming and sent me the most beautiful full-body smile. Man! Peter had such a beautiful smile! The other memory of Peter that stands out was when he joined a big bunch of friends out at my land a few months ago for a camping-music-dancing night in the forest. He brought a huge teepee that he had made years ago. After some fidgeting, we finally got it up. He was very happy to see it standing once again. He joined us in some hand drumming and I think at one point he got up on stage and had a wonderful time making beautiful music with everyone. Peter was a dear soul. Every time we spoke he was always upbeat and tried his best to hide the terrible pain he was enduring. His words were always kind. After a good cry at our loss I tried to think of some happy things. Those two memories are what I came up with. But what really dried the tears and made me smile was the thought that wherever Peter is, I'm sure Marcel is with him and they're laughing and enjoying some good smoke together. I was really looking forward to sharing another evening out at my land this weekend with him and all of my friends. Peter's teepee still stands there...an excellent reminder that Peter is still with us. Thank you all for the kind words. Smiles and Hugs, Joni PS Timouse, some pics are on the way to you.

Schwa! Wow! I'll be there next year to get in on some of those hugs! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Hugs and Smiles, Joni

I'm touring the southwest states and currently in New Mexico and saw hundreds of moteors blazing across the clear desert sky last night. Spectacular! Such a treat.

Although I'm not black, and I rarely think of myself as this... I am a 'person of colour' (Asian) and stories of racism strike very deep with me. Although I have experienced racism, I've been fortunate in that I haven't been the target of violent racism. That story is truly scary and sad.

Hey Aaron! A big fat juicy Happy Birthday to ya! It's always a treat to share time with you. Hugs & Smiles, Joni

The bears are gone from their tiny concrete enclosure. Perhaps released with the deer during the Annual Drunken University Student Fence Cutting Party. But there's still bunnies galore.

Hey Tigger! I still have your balls from the weekend! Man, they're heavy! I can't imagine lugging those things around all the time. Although the package with the strong handle makes it a lot easier.

Schwa's dimples make my knees quiver.

Have a blastacular Birthday!

Ada's beautiful! But can we get another pic without the cap? I wanna see the long curly blond tresses!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Beautiful Birthday

A funtabulous time! Colin on the sax and guitar was suhweet! And Holy Moly! Not only does Schwa give the best hugs, he really can play that hand drum!...a new member of Organic Groove perhaps? And the set by Mary 5e was great. She's got one big beautiful voice in that tiny and cute body. I'm glad I was there to witness Tim losing his piano virginity!

Wishing you a Super Duper Funtabulous Happy Birthday!

THE Ricky Neu??!! Wow! Can't wait to see him tear up the dance floor again. See ya there!
