Stephen Wilson Jr in Pittsburgh on Saturday night. I met Stephen earlier in the day at a coffee shop by accident. I suggested a song to him he hasn’t played much live. Not only did he play it, but he also dedicated it to me. Great show. Great artist. Go see him. Get his music.

Polar Vortex 2019 Day Two on this day six years ago. I was in a helicopter at minus-12 F / minus-24 C. Oh, with the door off on my side of the helicopter. My pilot looked like a mummy...almost no skin exposed except his eyes. It was brutally cold, but worth the effort.
