I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

But I maintain those people are missing out on the awesomeness of motorsports.

You can have my share.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, that's totally righteous irk.

OMG, y'all, I am so tired! My dogs are barking. Audubon this morning, running errands this afternoon. Then the music store students gave their big Rock Academy concert! They did so completely great! Everything from Tom Petty to Death Cab for Cutie to Arcade Fire. They rocked it out.

Then we had the last worship service with our buddy. We threw balloons out on the stage and dropped them from the catwalk. Then during the penultimate song we did bubble machine bubbles, beach balls, confetti and noisemakers. It was a blast.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Announcement: I found a new cocktail to make at home, involving both bourbon and tequila.

Recipe, please?

You can have all of mine--I grew up in Indy and don't need it.

Luckily, irksome friend eventually showed up, we checked out a new bar with fab cocktails and, shockingly, quiet! on a Saturday night! Then went dancing, where I managed to avoid making out with the ex, but ended up feeling very old when we agreed that managing to stay until 1AM was totally sufficient.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man! I'm listening to Liane Hansen's last day on Weekend Edition Sunday. Sad.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Super sad. But it's been a Liane going off the air fest for a few weeks (months?) now. This has more impact in my life than Oprah going off the air.

It's overcast this morning, which is good. But yoiks. Chilly too.

Yeah, I haven't listened to much WESun lately, but it has been a retirement-fest for months. I actually figured I had missed her last day, since who wants to work on the long weekend??

Now tagless for your comfort.

Memorial Day usually has a bit more solemnity topped off with grill food.

Noah's anime eyes are KILLER. How does that kid not have a pony yet?

It's snowing in the mountains again. It's supposed to be in the 80s by Thursday. I am not enjoying this.
