As Heather pointed out, some of my favorite T-shirts now have holes big enough that they really did need to be retired…
They just had a great second life waxing the Mercedes!

scarpati.com spent the weekend updating, tweaking layouts & code, got everything off the list, and didn’t break anything!!!

Joe Ruby / BorneoJoe passed away on December 27th. He was my friend, neighbor, and collaborator who lived across the skywalk at the Brewery in downtown Los Angeles. My favorite collaboration was the album cover artwork we did for Dramarama’s 1991 release Vinyl. He was also my son’s first babysitter.

I’ve been burning a ton of mix CDs for the Mercedes! Filled a 48 CD wallet (so glad I still had one) feelingl like a kid again! Yeah, maybe it should be eight tracks, but I don’t have a player for that. The CDs I’m using look like miniature records, which helps the CDs feel even more Retro…

End of an Era

I added a bunch this morning…
