Sadly, Mozzie was there to help. I didn't know until recently that Willie Garson passed away.

The hats Patrick Larson and Donnie Wise wore during our MLB playoffs predictions episode. Patrick wore his Toronto Blue Jays World Series hat and Donnie wore his New York Yankees World Series hat. Go back to last week’s post to see Johnny and Eric’s hats.

It's nice to have some good things in this shit year.

We'll be seeing the Oilers and all three of Calgary's teams. My wife will be skiing in Banff as well.

I'll have to think about my 10. I can think of a few right now. But I'll have to think about the others.

When I had my zine back in the 90s, every issue had a fuck page. It was just what/whoever needed to be told "fuck you" at that point in time. My readers loved it.

Thanks! I appreciate that.

Every now and then I think about joining another band, but then get nervous about hooking up with another asshat whose okay with everything that's happening in the country. Thankfully, I have another creative outlet.

I got tired of playing with people who turned out to be awful humans. One was so bad, he killed my desire to play music entirely.

I've had many people say that to me. I've even had some tell me that their life "has never been affected by the person in the White House."
