Forget Finland

I think I'll try Buenos Aires, instead. (In all actuality, I doubt I'm leaving the country any time soon; I don't have a passport, and even though I do get my ass off of the couch now and again, it's usually to go over to the easy chair next to the computer...)

"Jalacy Hawkins (July 18, 1929, Cleveland, Ohio — February 12, 2000, Paris, France), best known as Screamin' Jay Hawkins was an African-American musician, singer, and actor." What a way to go, eh?, Cleveland to Paris...
