Essentially my little Hercules gave me "reverse nursemaids elbow" (& wrist). My son kept re-injuring my left arm so it wouldn't heal, then I really started having problems when my good wing became strained from doing the work of both hands.

I could only click the mouse twice before I had to stop because it felt like my arm bones were made of broken glass.

What really bummed me out was I had to bow out of a great month-long gig on a riverboat bartending weddings and 'booze cruises', but there was no way I could serve drinks when I could barely even pull up my own pants.

The extra Money would have been nice for those 'two tickets to paradise'...(actually, I need four).

Figuring out how I'm going to lug around a car seat through the airports between flights has shot it's way up to being the highest of priorities on the packing list. I have a Recaro car seat. Super safe, made by a German company that specializes in manufacturing seats for race car drivers, but it's huge and heavy. In consideration to the comfort of fellow travelers, I also think it would be quite wide for an airline seat. I would totally do a car seat test fit in an airplane if I could.

JUNGLE LOVE - STEVE MILLER BAND - BOOK OF DREAMS

I met you on somebody's island
You thought you had known me before
I brought you a crate of papaya
They waited all night by your door
You probably wouldn't remember
I probably couldn't forget
Jungle love in the surf in the pouring rain
Everything's better when wet

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

But lately you live in the jungle
I never see you alone
But we need some definite answers
So I thought I would write you a poem
The question to everyone's answer
Is usually asked from within
But the patterns of the rain
And the truth they contain
Have written my life on your skin

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

You treat me like I was your ocean
You swim in my blood when it's warm
My cycles of circular motion
Protect you and keep you from harm
You live in a world of illusion
Where everything's peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

You may not be familiar with DOUGLASS, but you’ve probably heard him play: he performed on Greg Kihn’s single “Jeopardy” (1983), and he’s toured and recorded with Van Morrison, Duane Eddy, Link Wray, Hot Tuna, DAVE MASON, and Eddie Money. In addition, he cowrote and played on the Steve Miller Band hit “Jungle Love” (1977).

"I'm not even sure where ['Jungle Love'] fits into the Everybody Loves Raymond mythology," laughs Douglass. The tune was used as the theme song for the final three seasons of the TV sitcom.

With Steve Miller Band bassist Lonnie Turner, Douglass wrote "Jungle Love" as a demo for British guitarist DAVE MASON. "Instead, the song turned into Dr. Seuss on acid," and Miller opted to include it on his next album. Douglass was asked to join the group after Miller had trouble duplicating his riff in the studio.

Douglass admits that "Jungle Love" was the second attempt to recycle the tune's signature guitar part. "It was used by [my mid-'70s trio] Mistress; I wrote a song called 'Paul' that used the same riff. And I also tried it while I was in Hot Tuna in a co-write with Jorma Kaukonen, but it never really gelled."

Released as a single in 1977, "Jungle Love" was an instant hit, though "It only reached number 22," says Douglass. "At the time, it was a little disappointing. But the song has been very good to me ever since...it helped buy my house."

The song is included on numerous Miller compilations, including Greatest Hits 1974-1978, the 35th-biggest-selling album of all time (13 million copies sold).

Douglass moved to San Diego in 1992.

“I’m currently living in a big, beautiful house out in Lake Hodges, in the Del Dios-Escondido area,” he says. “We survived the fires, and it’s lovely here. It’s like Mayberry on acid.” Though he could probably live off the royalties from “Jungle Love,” Douglass remains one of the county’s busiest musicians.

“My musical plate is so full, it’s unreal,” he says. “I do solo finger-style gigs, concerts, weddings, funerals, dogfights: you pay, and I’ll play.” Among his current ensembles: the Fabulous Pelicans wedding band (“We get paid elephant bucks for traveling to exotic locations”), and surf rockers Mo’ Wasabi (“I’m a Ventures junkie”). He also plays with Quicksilver Gold, a tribute to the music of Quicksilver Messenger Service led by Joli Valenti, son of Dino Valenti, the band's late lead singer.

Douglass also has two instructional DVDs available from http://www.iconsofrock.com, one on lead guitar and one on fingerstyle guitar. He has released two solo CDs: The Natives Are Restless and a Christmas collection, Holiday Classics.

On July 9, 2010, at Pechanga, Douglass played “Jungle Love” onstage with Miller for the first time in around thirty years. Douglass says, “I was strictly there as just another middle-aged guy taking his wife on a date.”

After the first encore, “My wife Jeri wondered aloud why they hadn’t played ‘Jungle Love.’ Just as I was beginning to take that personally, Steve started talking about how the song came to be recorded. He then announced that the writer of tune was in the audience and asked me to stand up! I stood and waved, the spotlight hit me, and Steve said, ‘Well, get on up here and play your song!’ I ran up onstage and, two minutes after being just another guy in the crowd, I was playing ‘Jungle Love’ with the band for the first time in 30 years. The audience went nuts...my wife was in total shock.”

Backstage after the show, “I told Steve, ‘Christ, I come to the show trying to enjoy a quiet night off, and you make me work!’ Slave-driving bast*rd!”

At one point I 'felt' to go get my LG Love Relationships book. I was just going to place the book near one of the candles. I felt the nudge to 'open' it. So, I just 'opened it,' thinking that yes, that's going to look nice. My eyes spied 'her' "saying" my name.... my user name 'mirage' is on that page, 202.

God works in wonderful and mysterious ways.

I checked the LLBirthChart...

The asteroids Linda, and Goodman, appear in the LL Chart in 8th House {legacies} in Cancer: Linda at 23+ and Goodman 24+ degrees Cancer. Vertex 28+ Cancer.

Those 23+, 24+ degrees Cancer correspond with my own Cancer 8th: natal asteroids Lada { music of the spheres }, Mira {first 4 letters of my username Mirage}, Angel, and my Vertex {significant relationships}...

LL Mira (3633) is Leo 11+ H8 (transiting Mira at 10+ Leo right now! making a conjunction, in H8)

LL asteroid "Charmaine" (10642) is Sagittarius 20+ in the First House, conjunct LL Venus Sag 18+ .... sweet!

LL asteroid "Michel" (1348) {MICHAEL} is 6+ Aquarius in House Two Capricorn. It just happens??? that transiting MARS is energizing that asteroid at 6+ Aquarius 'exact right now' {almost-partile to minute! }

Transiting Michel 17+ Aquarius just traveled across the LL Uranus 16+ Aquarius! H2
