We Love you Planet Earth!

Well, today is "Earth Day". I would say that planet Earth has been pretty good to us, so it's only fair that we give a little love back. So, if you are out and about today, lay down on the ground and give old planet Earth a big hug. In addition, it wouldn't hurt to recycle something today, or turn off a few lights in the house.

If you want to go out on the town tonight, here's a good Jazz option:
