Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 1/15/22
Salutations™!! Are you enjoying the Snowmageddon that is happening outside right now?

Mental Health Day or: 2547 + 10
Salutations™!! A friend of mine contacted me today to say that he was longer involved with the company that he loved and put a lot of sweat behind. He left on his own but had gone through some trying time internally with himself. I had thought he was awfully quiet, but also know that with…
The Next Day or: 2544 + 13
Salutations™!! Since I was doing my tribute to Finnigan’s Wake yesterday, I didn’t do the “piggyback”. The Man Who Ate the Town was recorded before I knew about Finnigan’s closing.
