It's very curious how DH likes to start projects on a Sunday before he goes out of town, and then guess who has to finish them? He is a smart bloke.
My husband would ground our children at the end of the week (Thursday or Friday) prior to his leaving town for weekend golf outings.
After this happening a few times, I finally told him if he ever did it again, he wouldn't be able to go away on his golf trip because he would have to stay home to supervise the grounding he imposed.
I saw them that year at the Mohegan Sun (an elaborate, 5-star indian reservation resort-casino in Uncasville, CT) with my sister and husband. I don't think there was a dry eye in the arena when David Crosby started crooning the harmony in Southern Cross. (Stephen Stills sings the melody) I get misty-eyed just thinking about it now (he wrote that during one of his many rehab phases - the line "I have my ship, and all Her flags are a-flyin. She is all that I have left, and Music is Her name" is a reference to his boat, which he claims gave him the serenity needed to save his life.
Big CSNY fan. Huge. I'm such a hippie
Well paint me purple wrongness - it wasn't written by Crosby. There's a story told by one of his biographers, that during one of his rehabs, he found solace in a sailboat, and that the line from that song was a direct reference to this.

Me too Anon...I've seen CSN twice and saw Neil Young at Red Rocks years ago. Never got an opportunity to see them together though. Jealous.

Now I don't feel nearly as guilty for leaving the "Y" off my comment to you....which I realized as soon as I hit "send" and felt like so lame...
I always attributed Southern Cross for a Stephen Stills song (?)- he seems to have a fondness for sailing references....(IIRC that is...I was a huge fan for many years but it's been awhile)
Okay fun college memories - freshman year, 1979: Me and my roommate, Ann Marie, sitting on the windowsill of our dorm room's bay window. Our legs dangling out, me playing guitar. We're facing Joan Kennedy's apartment building on Beacon Street, and we're singing "Helpless" at the top of our lungs.
Ann Marie did a hillarious Neil Young impersonation, but man we were solid with our harmonies together.
Also, Crosby DID have a sailboat - and he -did- find solace from it, during some of his rehab phases. He lived on it for several years. Maybe I'm confusing it with Wooden Ships, which he -did- write, along with Stills and Marty Balin from Jefferson Airplane.
