I’ve discovered, while working on a project for a client this morning, that hearing beach/shag music when not at the beach makes me feel ill.

Rewatching Schitt’s Creek. This show is medicine for the soul. 6 seasons should be enough I know. It’d be impossible to reunite all the cast with their schedules now…but…but maybe a movie? Please, please Eugene & Daniel. 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Listening to some Grateful Dead tunes outdoors. Jerry’s been gone thirty years today. Gone but definitely not forgotten. The vibes are so welcome in my life right now. Yeah I’m the dork wearing the shirt from the last Dead show I saw (March 24th, 1995).

Somewhat tasty…yet whenever I eat a Triscuit I can’t help feeling I’m ingesting a Brillo Pad made of wheat. 🤷🏻‍♂️
