  1. John Craigie. I promoted a concert for him in my little town. I loved his song Michael Collins. I asked him if he ever heard from MC and he said no. I thought I had way to find out what MC said about the song. My uncle was in Congress and the chairman of the Science Committee and the Space Subcommittee. I knew I could get in touch with Collins and I could tell Craigie the great news. Here's the letter I wrote to General Collins. Dear General Collins: I hope this letter finds you well. Please allow me to take a few minutes of your time to share something I found especially meaningful and that relates directly to you. By way of introduction, my uncle is Don Fuqua, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives during your years in the space program. Don chaired the House Science and Technology Committee and was deeply involved in matters relating to NASA. When I was younger, he gave me the enclosed Apollo 11 photograph. I have kept it all these years, and it even survived a house fire at my residence. That, however, is not the main purpose of this letter. I have always been intrigued by both space and music, and recently I heard a song written by a wonderful West Coast artist named John Craigie. The song—on the enclosed CD—is about you. I was so struck by it that I later booked Mr. Craigie to perform in Florida. While he was here, I had the opportunity to spend some time with him and learned that his father attended school with Buzz Aldrin. Over the years, Mr. Craigie and General Aldrin spoke from time to time about the Apollo mission. Mr. Craigie is an exceptional songwriter and storyteller, with a unique perspective. In our conversation, he told me he had long wondered how you felt serving as the command module pilot rather than being one of the astronauts who landed on the moon. That question stayed with him for years, and he finally put it to music on his most recent studio album. I asked whether he had ever spoken with you about the song, and he said he had not—explaining that he did not want to intrude or appear to be seeking anything from you. I shared with him my uncle’s connection to the space program and showed him the enclosed photograph. I told him I wanted to see if we could make sure the song reached you. A few weeks ago, at a family reunion, I told my uncle the story and played him the song. He was excited about both. Don then contacted General Stafford, who provided your address, which was relayed to me. I hope you do not mind this intrusion into your personal life. Neither my uncle, Mr. Craigie, nor I are seeking any commercial gain. We simply wanted you to hear the song and to let you know that people are still talking about—and thinking about—you and your role in that remarkable moment in history. If you have the time and inclination to share your thoughts about the song or our effort to get it to you, we would truly enjoy hearing from you. My email address and phone number are listed above. Mr. Craigie’s email address is johncraigie@johncraigiemusic.com. Thank you for allowing us to share this with you, and thank you for the memories you have given all of us. Respectfully, I never heard a word!

    Going to have to check those I have not heard from this list. Props to Joe Stamm. We had him do a private show in fall and it was awesome and so was he.
  8. It's cringe holiday narrative letter time. Found this one on the web after I received two in the mail today. Generally if we care about you, we know what you did. If we don't care, we don't care Dear Friends and Underlings, What an eventful year. Back in May, I rolled off the couch and onto the floor, where I proceeded to crawl over to the TV and turn off “Days” for good. After all these years, I decided it was time to give it up. Then I stood up, dusted off my gray sweats, and took a walk around the block. I became so inspired that I returned home, sat down at the computer, and began to write my memoirs. Both of them — three pages each. After 30 years of marriage, Carl got a little fidgety and took up golf. Don’t you just love those little white balls? I now know all about putters and drivers and bogeys and such. As always, our talents and interests complement each other so well. When he leaves, I drink cappuccino and work on my 300 page “to-do” list” and it all works out perfectly. Daisy, our eldest, still prefers thugs to “nice boys,” but we are hoping she will outgrow this phase of her life. Carl is afraid the thugs will steal his golf equipment, and so am I. Iris, our second child, began to emit some frightful adolescent utterances back in October, but has since calmed down. Could have been the Halloween influence. Teens are faced with so much these days. Blade, our son, has grown into such a handsome young lad. Oh, he still blows his nose on an invisible Kleenex and he still runs into a tree every now and then, but such is life. May the year 2014 bring you everything you want, and the strength to cope with everything you don’t want. Happy holidays, The Rose C. Glasses Family t
  9. What a move! Dusty Rhodes would have been proud.
  10. I view Buc-ees as a destination shitter. In the Florida Panhandle we also have Busy Bees which are like smaller Buc-ees .
  11. Worst shitter for me was the one camp paradise which is half way up mount Rainier. One was mainly for piss and it was so strong you needed to wear your goggles. The other was for bigger loads and that stuff didn't exactly break down at 11,000'
