Benny Banzai here. I had a such a good time at Jeff Lynne’s ELO Over and Out Tour last night, so I’m re-listening to their 1986 Balance of Power album for #WeekendUnwind. I haven’t listened to this album all the way through since its release. #80s #80smusic #JeffLynne #ELO

Mostly sunny and 72°F this Sunday at 6:15 PM—enjoying a glass of water after a quick run to Weis for grilling supplies. Autumn colors make for a perfect evening to unwind with family, maybe catch a movie later and start planning my next home brew batch.
