Do you ever have a day or two or three when it feels like you must be doing something right in your life? I mean, how else can you accept the good fortune that you're experiencing?

Slipknot and Scaramucci
A few years back I attended a music event called Mayhem at SPAC. The things we do for people we love! Anyway, we had a really nice afternoon, complete with sandwiches from Cardona's, listening to a bunch of bands. The bands weren't really my genre, but, it wasn't bad until Slipknot started their set.

PS L+L v2

I recently reread that piece and, while every single thing I said at that time remains true, I was struck more by what I didn't say. It was pretty friggin vague in a lot of ways. I went into … Continue reading PS L+L v2
