Just saw Marc with Shawn Colvin. Fun night. They had a great rapport, playing several of each other's songs together, and doing several covers - Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison.

I think it's just "pleat front" trousers. I always liked the look, but as I got older and more rotund they just didn't look right. I guess they're in a Renaissance now.

I couldn't believe they decided to pit with 3 laps left. Then I was dumbstruck that they took 4 tires.

Sooner or later, the gerbils scrabbling around in her skull will gain traction again and she'll be off on another Magat rant. But I love that she's slapping Squeaker Johnson around.

Somehow have not been seeing your last few posts, so had to check I was still following. Yep!

theepapajoe.bsky.social @theepapajoe.bsky.social · 3d

Counterpoint from South of you...
Doc prescribed a new med for my "pre-diabetic" condition. Pharmacy sends me daily updates that fulfillment is delayed because my insurance (not ACA) hasn't approved the order. Cost seems to be the issue. Slightly less than $1300!!!
