I told my kids I was gonna go back and take a class at a local Community College in an effort to recruit smarter friends.

This is exactly why i love @vintageobscura.net

You know, if it was up to just me, we'd never hear any music that wasn't in our narrow vision...but we have outlets that bring us music we never knew we loved. Until now.

Happy 21st birthday to my older kid, Dior. Here we are last year in Charlotte. We have tickets for LA Lakers at Charlotte Hornets tomorrow night. Never was a fan of kids, but wow I love this one! Raising him and his brother is one of the highlights of my life.

The term "Bonus Beverage" was coined by my 1st wife's brother. They grew up in Florida and hung out with surfers. Any new oddball drink he'd term "the bonus beverage"

Its not Vanilla Coke. Its "Holiday Creamy" Vanilla Coke.

But, is it "the bonus beverage"?

No, sadly. Its Vanilla Coke. With more Vanilla.

I have a friend who for some unknown reason, bought a Claw Machine. I've given him shit over ever since. A constant source of entertainment. Today I was offered said Claw Machine. Had to explain that my fascination was mainly comedic.

While West Virginia sleeps on Sunday mornings, I go to work. Confessed hater of the daytime gets up early (for me, ok?)and goes to work on Sundays so I can rejoice in the Friday that is Thursday! Friday and Saturday off is the life.
