I just want some rock and roll, and socialism, and to be back in western Montana.

I've had a pretty good concert week... Courtney Barnett on Sunday and tonight saw The Mountain Goats with my 14yo.

I've been in China for the last week, and one of my favorite things on this and my previous trip, are the signs above public urinals begging men to stop peeing on the floor.

Sign above a Chinese urinal with the English translation stating "one small step for moving forward, one giant leap for civilization." There is also a cute cartoon of a man peeing, but the illustrated pee stream is my favorite touch.

Technological possibilities I never would have predicted... sitting 35,000' up on a plane and being able to watch my son's travel baseball game live.

Coffee and records are a good way to spend any Saturday morning. This is easily one of my desert island albums. The tone of the guitars and Jason Molina's voice just hit somewhere deep in me on this one.

The world is stupid and the country is broken, but homemade treats and cocktails still provide a bit of joy.

Homemade sourdough pretzels with salt, cinnamon sugar, or everything bagel seasoning.

Homemade chocolate chip cookies, and blood orange negronis.

Sometimes the sun breaks through the clouds in just the right way. Going to try to live for those moments as our country burns down around us.

Daughter is home from school and requested homemade, sourdough bagels, so I started today's cooking with satisfying that craving. Lighting the charcoal for grilling the turkey soon.

Homemade sourdough bagels... poppy seed, sesame seed, and everything seasoning.

This was a good, god-damn time tonight.

Sturgill Simpson's name on the marquee at The Anthem.

Goddamn this is a fucking great band touring with Sturgill Simpson.

Working from home today so that means I've baked bread, started laundry, and spent the rest of the morning daydreaming about the Sturgill Simpson show we're going to tonight.

Homemade sourdough bread looking GBD and delicious.

Somehow I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was an adult.
