Left of center and lover of photography, music, pop culture, and life.
Favorite quote - "There are no innocents. There are, however, different degrees of responsibility" (Lisbeth Salander, from Stieg Larsson's original Millennium Trilogy).
I just gone done with a lot of grading, a daylong training session (that was yesterday), and was able to spend some long overdue time with an old friend I had not seen in years! I am finally feeling good. How are you?
I’ll stick to this theme for a bit longer. There is something about various genres of electronic music that I find both exhilarating and comforting. Have felt that way since I picked up my first 12″ singles (Pop Muzik by M and Moskow Diskow by Telex)
By the way, you all will see me around a good deal more for the next few weeks. I do have a week in early June where I will be mostly out of pocket. One of my side gigs to keep the lights on. I may have some other traveling ahead. We all do what we can.
I will be in Rotterdam in early July. I don’t know if there are any in the frog pond who live in or near there. If you want a meet up let me know. I’m there primarily on business, but can easily manage dinner or something like that.

A duo called Spooky released this track early last decade. It did well in the clubs at the time.

Mother’s Day was on Sunday, so I’m serving drinks appropriate for the holiday. I begin with three Mother’s Day drink recipes.

Also, here is a tall virgin orange juice for the boss.
The bartender is taking requests.
Here’s my other Mother’s Day drink offering, Drunken Bouquet from Tipsy Bartender.

Thought I’d try my hand at a bit of bartending. Here is an L.A. Sunrise (to keep with the sunrise theme from the opening video):

And of course, if you do drink adult beverages, drink responsibly.
