I'll be flipping back and forth between the end of the Twins game and the DNC. I see the Twins have 6 runs currently, which is 4 more than the [insert opposition here, since I forgot to see who it was.]. So that's good.

June 13, 2016: Major Life Events
Yesterday Philosofette and I cataloged our major life events (births, deaths, leaving or starting jobs or schooling, home purchase or sale) of the past just-over-two years. We counted 14. That seems extreme.
April 27, 2016: Yesterday Giveth
And yesterday taketh away. That is what it brought.
April 26, 2015: We Shall See
We shall see what today brings.
March 16, 2016: This Day Should Be Something
Pi Day, Ides of March, [ ], St. Patrick's.
February 10, 2016: Get Your Ash In Church
Saw the above sign advertising Ash Wednesday services. I chuckled.
February 3, 2016: Dregging
Leftover coffee in the pot this morning. But it's from like the 3rd pot we made yesterday, because yesterday was one of those days.
FMD: Best of 2015
Oh yeah, I was supposed to put up a "Best of 2015" post. I forgot.
Appropriately, though, that pretty much sums up my new-in-2015 listening experiences. I just never quite got around to listening to lots of new stuff I intended to, and... that's about it.
I do love me some Nathaniel Rateliff though.
How about you all tell us your bests of, and maybe I can get caught up someday, AMR's rambling comment about how getting caught up isn't possible notwithstanding.
FMD: Forward Looking
We'll do best-of 2015 lists next week. This week, let's talk about what you're looking forward to, musically, in 2016. That is, if anyone is around. These holiday FMD's generally seem like a bust, right?
FMD: Christmas Gifts
Remember the 90's? In the 90's I was, with some frequency, gifted CD's as Christmas presents.
The best one I ever got was TMBG's Flood, which helped me start to discover music that had been made in the same decade I was living in.
The worst one I ever got was Shania Twain's Come On Over, which... was not what I was listening to at the time. It wasn't as offensive as it sounds in retrospect, but it wasn't particularly good either.
So what's the best musical gift you were ever given? And the worst?
Merry Christmas all!
