Dear gutter cleaners, power washers, and renters-for-life,

Saturday morning and I’m pretty awake.  I started Rollins Stay Fanatic!!! Volume 2.  Oh sh*t! Too many great music recommendations on the way.  Yesterday I listened to the first two sides of the New Christs comp, did not know what to expect, and I dig it. That was a rec from Jeffro Skull.

I had lunch with Squids drummer Boojie Schneider at a secret location.  No, it’s no secret, we met at Pho Nguyen.  I got my usual V2--vermicelli with grilled chicken, egg roll, and shrimp.  It is my favorite dish in all of Kansas City.  I have been doing ok with cutting out sugar.  I cruised past a box of donuts at work like they were last week’s liver and onions. Actually I said “oh f*ck!” and sped up a little bit.  Yes, I know there is sugar in the dressing that comes with V2.

I pre-ordered the Husker Du Miracle Year box set on Numero, on blue vinyl.  Can’t wait.
