* If asking a masseuse to give you a little post rubdown tug is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
* Rainy day today. Getting some much needed office work done. Sitting at my neighborhood coffee shop. Gonna take a little lunch break here in a bit and knock out about 100 pages of Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72.
* Friday 5:
I Wanna Dance With Somebody -- Whitney Houston
I Never Lie -- Zach Top
One in the Saddle, One on the Ground -- Sturgill Simpson
Gravity's Gone -- Drive by Truckers
Come Monday -- Jimmy Buffett
* Helping a buddy with some insurance stuff, as he's planning on a very early (52 years old) retirement. Been working for the same company for 30 years, and is just D-U-N-N with that corporate life. Just been grinding away, and saving his whole career. Paid for house, paid for rental property, > $3 mill in his 401(k). The absolute quintessential millionaire next door type. I'll never cease to be amazed by people like this.
* I don't care what happens tomorrow night. Boo Cal, throw batteries, pull the old get-the-newspaper-out-during-introductions stunt, whatev. This ain't the UNC wine and cheese crowd. So if our fans come across looking like raving lunatics, I'm down with it.
* Cats by 5 big'uns.
* Zack with an K > Zach with an H
Not even close.
* Anybody heard from Shawn Ryan? I hope he and his family are safe.
* SNL has so many hits over the years.
You like-a da juice?
* Speaking of which, the SNL movie on Netflix is very meh. But I'm a HUGE Chevy Chase fan, and his entrance includes him tripping over a trash can, standing up and calmly stating: "I'm sorry. I just tripped over my penis."
🤣
* DeepSeek sounds like a dating website Vern's mom uses to search for BBC.
