See Ya Later, Suckers...

Today, at precisely 5:01 p.m., is the start of my vacation -- a "staycation," if you will -- until September 10.

The Forever Fiancee, Kid Lulu and I were supposed to fly up north. But due to a TWIST TO BE REVEALED LATER, we have to stay put. But I'm still taking my days off. I need them...desperately.

I'm gonna head to the beach for a couple of days, bring a six-pack, my iPod and Peter Guralnick's Elvis books. Maybe hit Sea World or Universal. Or I might just hole up at the Courtside Grille and drink heartily. If you see me, say hello.

I'm going to avoid any and all serious writing, but I'll post some new blogs here and there. I want to keep in touch. After all, I figure one of you will have to bail me out of jail sooner or later. (I'm looking at you, Bassnote.)

Anyway, to send me off in style, here's Sean's "You're Wife's on My Whammo" Vacation Mix: 

1. Holiday Road -- Lindsey Buckingham
2. In the Summertime -- Shaggy
3. Ain't Going Down (Till the Sun Comes Up) -- Garth Brooks
4. Catch the Sun -- Doves
5. Good Times -- INXS & Jimmy Barnes
6. Carpe Beachum -- Paul Haslinger
7. Dancing Across the U.S.A. -- Lindsey Buckingham
8. Clambake -- Elvis Presley
9. Just Like Paradise -- David Lee Roth
10. Walk Between the Raindrops -- Donald Fagen

No love for the Go Gos?

Vacation?

I've always though a guy band should do a cover of that one ... that doesn't make me a Senator, does it?
