Sometimes it seems as if life just keep piling shit in your way. Not horrible shit like death and disease and stuff (though sometimes there’s that, too), but annoying shit that you have to keep dealing with, and as soon as you get some of that shit out of the way, and other big pile of shit lands right in front of you. This is how things seem to be around here these days. At least it’s Friday, I guess.
Oops, looks like I forgot to put something up this morning. That’s what happens when you get up at 4AM, I guess. The day just flies by.
Get off dat snow
Mike got bitten by a tick and now he has Lyme disease again! He’s not feeling too well but, hopefully, the antibiotics will kill those little bugs quickly.
Going to the ocean.

Sad news about Don Van Vliet 🙁 I was just listening to Terry Gross interview someone about a new biogrophy about Monk today. Captain Beefheart was the Monk of my generation. What an original voice.

Gail Collins:
Yes, the race for the White House is practically under way. Already, there are at least seven Republican presidential primary debates on the schedule. The way this is going, the Republican presidential hopefuls will eventually be on television every single minute. Possibly they can be convinced to do something more entertaining than talk about earmarks. Maybe race around the world in teams of two, or compete at ballroom dancing, or agree to all be locked in a house together for several months with no contact with the outside world.
I know; you’re liking the last one already.
But today let’s look at their books. Almost every potential Republican presidential nominee has written at least one, and they could make excellent stocking stuffers for the public affairs mavens on your shopping list.
