We spent about a month in the studio living and working in a farmhouse outside of Raleigh. In the process, we learned a lot about recording and about the dynamics of our band in the studio.

You can't make a living on the farming anymore. There's more money in the furniture shops.

What I enjoyed most about the weekend was having the opportunity to view Jewish life on a college campus while at the same time having loads of fun with my friends.

Wal-Mart isn't really a big issue with our people. At first some were upset because they were scared by something new. But now they like being able to get everything here -- your name brand, your off brand, all in one place. I think of it as simple shopping.

You know, if some of these folks have been living back to that April night in 1775 when Paul Revere came riding through, saying the British are coming, the British are coming... If Howard Dean was living back then he would have yelled out the window, 'Shut up I'm trying to get some sleep in here.'

If you have a child going to college and living in a dorm, give the packets to him or her to use.
