Email chain with Doug… it all starts with one friend trying to share some interesting lyrics and once an opening presents itself, it quick deteriorates into us being douchebags…

Like Moving Insects, A Withdrawal From Your Brain Savings Account
I have heard you have had a series of bad endings
I’m not a sleeping grave
I may not have an iron lung or a fast ride
But rest assured my time is great

Its a group that had 2 guys from Bionic Rhoda in it. They were based in Philly but now defunct. Will try you to burn some of their stuff. They are mellow and a little unusual. Lots of different instruments. I really like them, but in all honesty, it may be more up my alley than yours.

You mean the one I’m giving Vinjin for Christmas so he can have one just like his Dad’s.

That is hardly what I said. It was so fucking clever I was laughing while I wrote it. Check your Amazon recommendations, bish.

Funny stuff. Is that you in the hat up in the corner there? Looks like you with your power bottom, rough trade moustache.

I look much hotter than you. Except, I don’t know, I think that picture makes me look a little gay.
Tomorrow will be the kids last day with me until spring. I’m doing my best not to focus on the inevitable suddenly too quiet home. Their last day will be fun, we’re going to the Adventure Aquarium to see our friend, Kristen (and yes, she works there!) swim with the sharks. Van and Viv met Kristen last summer and I’m sure they will get a kick out of seeing her in the tank with the big sharks.
