Alan Alda is a national treasure. He has a podcast called Clear+Vivid where he talks to interesting people. It's great. And it's a nice diversion from everything being political.

LOL, was that Jack White at 2:22? Weird cut-away...

So intense...yet so cathartic...

Another nice piece Nate!

Change of Command is this week, which means I get my 4th boss in three years (FML) so I decided I'd fabricobble the command gift. The outgoing skipper is a Navy diver who has a penchant for clapping to build morale. So I decided that I needed to work all that into the gift. So the rough motif is a replica Navy diving bell mounted to a plaque with our command logo and major project logos engraved into brass coins. but the kicker is that the helmet sits on an LED base that lights up and yes, can be controlled by a Clapper.

Do pizza ovens count?

Love the Magazine posts, thanks. Never got to see them live, I'm sure I would have loved that. But DID get to see Devoto with his band Luxuria....and they opened for The Fall! Incredible show!

Agreed. After listening to that, I had to listen to this. Of course, today these lyrics would have gotten them canceled. 😎

We should go back to this point in time.

Missed Opportunity.

Sorry, no.

Did you wear the chef's hat?

Kind of reminds me of Dead Can Dance.

Memorial Day BBQ with Claire's sibs and families. My offerings were tempura batter fried zucchinis with an amazing tonnato dipping sauce from Pasta Supply Co. and a couple racks of smoked and grilled baby back ribs. Forgot to take a pic after cutting them up.

I seem to be on KEXP algorithm now. Intense looping, but I like it.

Reliving 90s warnings about reliving the 70s from Mike Watt’s Ball-Hog Or Tugboat?

It's called a "Dirty Martini" and is delicious..... Gin, dry vermouth, and along with 2 or 3 olives, some of the fluid from the bottle!!

And I was channeling Carol Channing.

People were naysaying Wing ... So he dropped this: DnB!

I was channeling Landsdown Street outside of Fenway, which was the best spot for sausages before seeing the Sox.

The griddlers in action again... They were absolutely delicious!

I feel like it was important for him to reconnect to the core sitting-in-a-log-cabin-being-sad energy.
