One of my favorite rock songs. Ever. Back when Chris Cornell still played guitar.

I'll admit to feeling pretty good about the Twins. They're still an awful team, but winning two out of three in New York since ever helps a lot.
Nick Blackburn pitched well. Taylor Rogers pitched better. Josmil Pinto is quietly having a really good year in New Britain.
Freealonzo and I are seeing Merle Haggard tonight at the State Theatre. I wonder how much he'll play of the albums I know. I only have nine, covering much of 1965-71 and 2010-present. So there's basically a 40-year gap in his career that I've heard just a handful of songs from. He's had 40 #1s and I know like eight of them.
Well, time to share the lists.
Tonight my wife and I are going to a birthday bash with friends at a high-roller-type casino out here. We just found out that we're going to a club that has a freaking dress code. I'm...not feeling that part of the evening.

From one of the better rock albums of 2012. These guys have been banging it since the early 80’s as snot nosed punks. Thirty years hasn’t affected their ability to rock out however!

So, it happened. I turned 50 earlier this week. Half a century. For most of human history, 50 was at or above the average lifespan. (of course, the key word there is average, as the life expectancy at adulthood has changed relatively little in the past few centuries; whatever, ignore that like you would ignore Bluto talking about the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor; forget it, I'm rolling). So this is a milestone. A time to reflect. A time to look ahead.
