Robert Pollard

The show had its moments but sadly it was not as cohesive and the setlist was obviously not as great as any of the Guided by Voices shows I saw and heard previously. He did play a few older tracks during the final half an hour. Highlights for me personally were "Get Under It", "I'm A Widow", "747", "Lightshow", "the Right Thing", "Maggie Turns to Flies" and if my memory is accurate he closed with "Don't Stop Now" same as he did for the final GBV show. That is a really really amazing and touching song. And I did pick up a cool army green t shirt, on the back it says this:

GANG OF FOUR .....$45
THE PIXIES.......$60
ROBERT POLLARD......PRICELESS

I'd go see him again when he tours his next album, hopefully he will be back again in July or August.

Today the twins did an easter egg hunt then played in the park with Ally and Rebecca their friends who are also twins, and in the morning I woke up to discover both of them snuggling with me so that was awesome. I only did two and a quarter miles in the morning on the treadmill because I am beat.

Making dinner for them now. Tomorrow after church we are going to Chicago and so we are all looking forward to that.

Oh and I just learned that there is a new Cocteau Twins 4 cd box set out that contains all of their import singles and eps, so tha is cool. Need to get that eventually.

Running is at 18.50 miles for the week I believe, though I checked and for a while now I have ran 5 days per week. Tomorrow morning I need to do a fairly long run before church to stay on my schedule.

Lastly, J. wrote all of our family's names on a piece of paper, she knew how to spell her own name, her sister's and MOm and Dad, she asked me how to spell Chris though!

Red Sox start their season Monday!
