Things are clearly on the up and up as I've managed to get into the office before noon today. Raising the spirits is this 10/10 pure gold, stone cold classic.

In the office for the first time today, and it appears I'm still on a bit of a Carlos kick. I had totally forgotten I had two copies of this heaviosity, albeit different pressings.

Into the office for the first time today. Filling the air with good vibes from Chick Corea and Gary Burton before I start work and end up filling the air with expletives.
