Any Chicago area folks around? How bad is Chicago traffic on a Saturday morning? We are driving to Montana in August. I have two routes I can go from Detroit area - straight north, over the Mac bridge and then west, or loop around Chicago to Minneapolis and west.

Finalized the kitchen remodel plans today...pretty exciting. Especially the addition of a kegerator.

So proud that my wife is part of the solution right now; she's been getting the vaccines together for patients at her hospital this week. Most people getting their shots are thanking her, nurses, and everyone in ear shot.

I've always loved this song, here's a great live version I stumbled across today. What a nice groove, and all these years later I have a huge appreciation for the subject matter; such a well written song about anxiety and dread.

radio.garden What a blast. Currently loving a station out of Hillswick, UK - 60 North Radio.

I ordered some merch to help the cause during the Save Our Stages concerts on October 18th. It still hasn't shipped...at what point can I be grumpy about it, in these Covid times?

I just read that this spring/summer is a Brood X cicada season, 17 years (2004) since the last cycle. That's the year I went to Bonnaroo and I remember they were everywhere....especially passing through Ohio.

Yarn Me, Please isn't going as I'd hoped. They don't have very good/responsive customer service and the January monthly box is missing. I bought a three month sub for my wife for X-mas and I can't recommend them. (actual company in comments)

That's a new one. I got an email that a record was delivered but it wasn't on my porch. Tracking says 'ready for pick up at post office.' No idea why they couldn't complete the delivery process.

My wife got a ‘get well soon’ from Dan Rather on Twitter. Pretty cool. She’s reading his book while healing her ACL repair.

My wife’s ACL repair was a success today. Now we hang around the house for a few weeks. Easy enough, we pretty much were doing that already.
