Over the past few days in Canada I’ve met some fantastic young folks with a glow that I’ve not seen in a long time. It gave me a hope for the future that my home in the United States does not.

The endless phone ringing on the last track of the Balloonerism album is pretty heavy.

I’m starting to think that the camo hat that I ordered from the Harris Walz campaign isn’t coming.

I decided to try cutting gluten and alcohol from my diet for the month of January. Halfway through the month, being alcohol-free is much easier than being gluten-free… but I’ve not really noticed any changes in my body or mind state.
