November

29   it's all coming back to me now
30   it's not right, but it's okay

December

01   gadgets and gizmos, oh my!
02   hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
03   random lascivious beasts and other stories
04   the puppeteer
05   good, bad, ugly
06   not once, but twice
07   if only I had a sock
08   in demand
09   sniff me! I smell good!
10   off on a tangent
11   "I'm not dead yet!"
12   what would you say?
13   "Solitude" by way of Ellington
14   please hear what I'm not saying
15   ready, set, let go
16   "who's gonna meet your needs?"
17   "what are you doing the rest of your life?"
17   "urge to kill ... rising ... "
19   "it's my party, and I'll cry if I want to"
20   climbing Jacob's ladder
21   something good
22   "leaving on a jet plane"
23   "oh, there's no place like home for the holidays"
24   "ribbon! Mama got me ribbon!"
25   "this year's love"
27   between lonesome and blue
28   going to the chapel, not going to get married
29   public service announcement
30   "can I have your number?"
31   "ten ... nine ... eight ... "

2003

January

01   "leaving on a jet plane" - again
02   moving is like a little death to me
03   it's a mad life that we know
04   a touch of sanity invades my madness
05   photograph
06   the look of love
07   "the ground here is made of stars"
08   summer dies here, and so could I
09   "You are Perl."
10   on the road again
12   it's a party! it's an Arsmeet party!
12   in occasional fits of lonely
14   you yourself are free
15   hot like fire
16   but who may abide
17   I've given all I can, and it's still not enough
20   nothing to hold, nothing to hide
21   harder, better, faster, stronger
22   auld lang syne
23   snow day
24   a day without rain
24   I found sugar
27   "I keep on falling ... "
28   "I bet you think this song is about you" (son of a gun)
29   cumbia de los muertos
29   "a drifter on the run"

February

11   "is this thing on?"
12   the agony and - well, the agony
13   life is sweet
14   rainy day valentines
16   the way you look tonight
17   all good things
18   unmoved
19   "rapunzel, rapunzel - let down your hair"
20   "it's what's for dinner"
21   lazy days
24   what I've learned from RS
25   the first rule of love
26   for a good cause

March

03   never to tell
04   vivir sin aire
05   enjoy
06   come on over
07   thank God it's Friday
10   not the rose, but near the rose
11   it might as well be spring
12   you're a god
13   for J.M.
14   turn the page
17   breathe into me
18   rebel rouser
19   no turning back
25   home sweet home
27   always something there to remind me
28   this used to be my playground
30   happy birthday, R.S.
31   six degrees of separation

April

01   Ebben
02   there's no business like show business
03   so who plays the OpFor?
08   collection of goods
14   all tomorrow's parties
22   little girl blue
23   and now for something completely different
24   all the days are numbered
25   the girl in the hyacinth blue
28   it never entered my mind
29   whole lotta shakin' going on
30   the seasons stand still

May

01   nothing's sacred any more
02   I can only imagine
03   more than you know
05   oops, I did it again
06   la vida es un carnaval
06   that haunting refrain
09   forty days and forty nights
12   back home again (in Indiana)
13   of no fixed address
14   more than you know
15   you could be the one
16   a case of you
19   the truth of faith
20   the sweet life
21   something to live for
22   spring can really hang you up the most
23   constant as the morning star
25   with this ring
26   you say it like you kept it
27   wanting memories
28   the undecidability of the revenant
29   population: 485
29   leave love

June

02   runaway
02   and how I hoped for your love
04   smoke rings in the dark

09   baby did a bad, bad thing
10   ain't going down 'til the sun comes up
11   down by the riverside
11   I'm too sexy for my ...
13   to know you is to love you
15   father's day
16   all hail Team Lamb Chop!
17   the view from here
18   more is always better
19   as time goes by
20   a delicious curse
21   somewhere in the middle of this
22   unforgettable
23   urban influential
24   lost in this verbal rain
25   not all who wander are lost
26   it's just a little crush

22   the currency of secrets
23   writing about oneself
24   doxology (from whom all blessings flow)
25   but beautiful
28   in a sentimental mood

30   the responsibilities of freedom
31   I love being here with you

August

02   I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
03   up on the roof
04   wedding bells are ringing
05   comes love
06   and in my departing
07   love is a many-splendored thing
09   think
10   the relativity of perfect
11   how I miss her so
15   quiet nights of quiet stars
22   gloria patri
