Sometimes I do things. Music and film (I lean toward horror) nerd. I like taking pictures, live in Milwaukee, WI, have a cat and a 12 foot skeleton on permanent display.

Whenever someone mentions exfoliating, I think about how often I’m just standing around foliating without even realizing it.

I just saw a post on Instagram (not allowing comments) about scrambling eggs with the steam wand on an espresso machine. My first job in Chicago was at Earwax, and we did this, using the same machine that all drinks were made with. No way in hell to clean that when busy. Still makes my skin crawl.

@bruceadams.bsky.social came to Milwaukee to talk about his excellent book, You’re With Stupid. His time at distributors and Touch and Go were discussed, as well as his time with Kranky. Hosted by Lion’s Tooth books, moderated by Michael Carriere, who is also writing a pretty neat book.

Wondering if they might take $1650.00, not sure I could justify anything higher.

Here is a photo of my dad and his brothers hanging out with family friends Duke Ellington and Clark Terry. I apologize for not knowing who the 3rd gentleman in this photo is, my uncle that archived everything wasn’t the most organized of the bunch.

It was so good to hang out with and see the Black Heart Procession again after 15 (!) years.
