I have a music fetish....I collect it and organize it and listen to it all day long....I am likely addicted to my shuffle, the New Itunes 8 just made my life so easy....Genius is perfect for building playlists that I can drop onto my shuffle. just click a song and push genius and poof 100 songs that build off that one song....I have heard songs from my library that I honestly didn't know existed. The other thing that I have recently discovered is Pandora currently building a station around Joy Division which has lead to realize that I really like Radiohead but also just makes me happy to listen to all kinds of remixes that I haven't heard in a decade or two

the toils of being a home owner

Mind you it was 12degrees yesterday when this happened and at present I can't keep my house any hotter than 55degree's or the house fills with smoke...not to mention that the soonest I can get a new furnace installed is thursday.

Yet another funeral

one of the nice things about coming home after nearly 20 years away is that I get to see family the bad part is that the most common place to see family is at a funeral. Unlike last summer the weather was glorious so we have a couple of hundred people come to lay my Uncle Donny to rest. Everything was pretty straight until one of the grandchildren laid a Hot Wheels car of a 68 Chevelle, exactly like the one Donny drove for nearly 40 years, in the grave. Go »
