Holy shitake mushrooms, batman

(I have no idea what that title means. Sometimes I blog drunk. This may be one of those times.) It is really cold today. It is 40°F, which is damn cold considering yesterday was in the 70s.

And he’s lived in some awesome places in those 10 years: Chicago, Seattle, Kansas City, and now – Tucson. (Wait. I did visit him once in the six weeks he lived in Nashville,... Read More
