A loud rumbling noise announces the unleashing of the dreaded Mongo in the town, riding a white, sharp-horned, brahma bull or ox (with a red YES on his left flank, and a red NO on his right flank). A man in a serape sees Mongo entering the town and exclaims:

Mongo…Santa Maria!

Thus the gag: Mongo Santamaria is one of the most phenomenal bongo players that ever lived…How’d I miss that all this time?

Happy Birthday, Monet!

Writing Apache modules today. ack. A pain that there are no free-prepackaged modules to do what I want, so I have to write them by hand, the old fashioned way. ah well… I’ll drop them into public domain, so nobody has to repeat my efforts. (I love Public License stuff, so it’s time to return the favor.)

Sending good thoughts and happy fun vibes to them that need and want them today.

*big hugs*

to all, especially my sweetheart.
