dear noize parents:

XOXO

(xpost)

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (AP) -- A 5-week-old baby left alone by his grandmother died after being mauled by the family dog.
Jose Diaz was on a bed Tuesday when the dog jumped up and attacked him. Police believe a 7-year-old mutt hurt the boy, though officers also found two other dogs in the house.
The baby had bites on his face and head when his parents, both 19, brought him to a fire station after the attack. He was taken by helicopter to Shands Jacksonville hospital, where he later died.

ian... yeah, no weeds at my house either. sucks. but overall, if my impression is accurate, i'd assume you'd be pretty good at it. my boys just like to play trains/buzz lightyear/etc, watch dvds, and mostly just chill. although, the littler one tried to ride his tricycle down the basement stairs the other day...

i can sense that he's gonna be like me and do a lot of really stupid things on bikes and skateboards.

the local pre-schools need a toddler stuntman class.

CHARLEY D. and MILO - American Psychedelic Folk-Rock recording group of the early 1970s noted for their orignal compositions and laid-back style. Comprised of Charles D. Harris, and Lon Milo Duquette, the duo released two singles (Back Bay Blu and The Word is Love), and an album Charley D. and Milo on the Epic Records label. While they never achieved significant acclaim they are considered a notable influence on music of the day. Their songs were recorded by various other artists and groups including Johnny Rivers.

Lon Milo DuQuette

Lon Milo DuQuette (1948-), AKA Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford, American writer and occultist best known as an author who applies humor in the field of Western Hermeticism.

Since 1975 he has been a National and International governing officer of Ordo Templi Orientis, one of the most influential (and controversial) magical societies of the 20th Century. Since 1994 he has been the O.T.O.'s United States Deputy Grand Master and one of the most visible members of the secret society.

Many of DuQuette's books have been dedicated to analyzing and exploring the works of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), an English occultist, poet and philosopher. He also writes on subjects treating on the Western mystical traditions including; Freemasonry, Tarot, Qabalah, Ceremonial Magick, Enochian magick of Dr. John Dee, and spirit evocation Goetia. He is perhaps best known for his best-selling autobiography, My Life with the Spirits.

His style and wit have prompted critics to call him "the most entertaining author in the field," and compare his works to those of Mark Twain and humorist and filmwriter Robert Benchley.

Born in Long Beach, California and raised in Nebraska, he was an anti-Vietnam War activist in the mid 1960s. He was also studio musician and recording artist in the 1970s, releasing two singles and an album, Charley D. and Milo, on the Epic Records label. His songs were also recorded by other artists including Johnny Rivers.

DuQuette frequently appears on radio and television as a guest expert on subjects involving the occult. He is involved as a consultant on a film which is being made about Crowley's life named Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley by Michael Chadwick.

He is on the faculty of the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York where he teaches The Western Magical Tradition. He is also Archbishop of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, the ecclesiastical arm of Ordo Templi Orientis.

He is married to Constance Jean Duquette and have one son, Jean-Paul.

i just got 3 early Nesmith albums (Magnetic South, Loose Salute & Nevada Fighter). they're great.
one of the owners of Amoeba (Joe Goldsmark) put out a few records in the 70s of instrumental pedal steel. they're surprisingly kinda funky as a bunch of the songs are covers of soul tunes. they're always free in the sale country racks at the store. i've got like 3 sealed copies in case i meet anyone i think would like it (haven't met them yet!)
