Oh my.
I almost let the day go by.
Without giving a shout-out
To the smoke-out.

Marijuana should be legal,
Like owning a beagle.
Here’s to smoking grass,
If you got some, please pass.

Tomorrow is the first Waterfront Wednesday, and from there, the Chow Wagon starts. Whether you’re ready or not, it’s Derbytime. It’s springtime. It’s high time you start getting out there and participating! If that means happy hour at 4:30, so be it! If that means hangovers at work, so be it!

I think one of the firecrackers at Thunder Over Louisville was faulty … it went off in my head the next morning. Still recovering …

Any drink topped with spiced rum is a good thing. Got Marianne at the Back Door to recreate the Pirate’s Punch drink I discovered in New Orleans. Fabulous.

Have a happy Thunder! Hope you don’t get stuck downtown with 50,000 other crazy people looking up at the sky and watching things explode.

Gonna take over WFPK today on Off the Record … not sure when it’ll run. Actually, when they hear the songs I’ve chosen, I’m not sure if it’ll ever run.

Pirates, vampires and funny signs, oh my!

This is how I see the world …

Thank God for friends … they’re good at keeping you busy if your mind is on something else. And if it’s over beers, even better.

Today is Licorice Day. I love it black! In fact, I have some Good N Plenty here at my desk. I do have one warning, however. Never mix cheap red wine with black licorice and twirl around at a Rusted Root concert. It also happens to be Big Wind Day, and in the above scenario, the consequence involved a big wind. However, it wasn’t just wind that made an appearance.
