    Interesting factoid I read today: Since 1972, the cost of college has risen 3400%. And how much has the average wage risen?

    Well, the dude was just strutting around at the United Center on one of a seemingly endless series of farewell shows for Oprah welcoming her to 'his' house. When it comes to egos, LeBron can't hold a candle to Jordan. Wait, what team does he play for currently?

    Did Jordan ever stage a one-hour primetime TV event to announce his multiple retirements / returns? The whole thing was disgusting. I'll go watch an NBA game live if given comp tickets, but I won't waste my time watching it on TV anymore. And yes, I blame the NBA just as much as LeBron for fostering the current situation where stars are upheld above the game. They are given special treatment by the refs and the league. When I was in Memphis a few weeks ago during the first round of the play-offs, the Heat happened to be on TV at Corky's BBQ in the bar area while we were waiting for our table. I caught some of the game (I don't even know / care who they played) and the funniest part was LeBron mowing down an opponent to get to the basket (a blatant offensive foul) and then taking four steps to the basket to dunk it. And the announcers of course proclaimed excitedly "OOOOOOHHHH, what a sensational move by LeBron!!!" And that just encapsulates my whole boycott against the league. It's all bullshit. On the plus side, it means more time to actually get things done on my end that are much more important.

    Random thoughts: 1) I am not made to get up before 10am. 2) My new Privia PX3 rules. 3) Zora seems to have perfect pitch as does Stella. 4) I can't wait until the cherries are ripe on our cherry tree. Last year I made a single pie from them and it was the best cherry pie ever.

    Exactly. And that's the sole reason I stopped watching the NBA. I have not watched a game since that fiasco and I don't plan to anytime soon. The league has become obsessed with "stars" at the expense of the beauty of the game itself. My prediction for this series? Anyone who looks at Wade funny or breathes on him or LeBron will be called for a foul and the refs will join the Heat for another "championship" celebration. Just like the last time they robbed faced Dallas.

    I'm waiting on Glenn to approve the layout / design. As soon as that's done, it's off to the printer.

    Looks like an HR20. Nothing to write home about. But the organ itself is worth the price as long as it is in good running shape.

    This is the first time that I've had two songs stuck in my head all night. Blah. Off to North Carolina.

  11. Jim Alfredson
    That's a good price for here, so I assume it's good for that area, too.

    Jerky in the dehydrator. Oh yeah.

    So I just heard that Blues On The Square, which was moved to the parking lot in front of the City Market (Blues On The Blacktop is what I nick-named it last year) is now cancelled. The decision to move it from Washington Square killed it. Stupid stupid stupid.

    I gotta get to bed. I can hear birds singing outside. Just watched Food, Inc. Sweet dreams.

    About 400 raised so far, not including checks mailed. Thanks, guys! I appreciate the support.
  16. Jim Alfredson
    I believe so, yes. You'd have to start a new conversation / PM.

    Man, I totally forgot about this! I'll catch up and open them up soon.

    Hoping that if I brush my teeth I will be dissuaded from having another piece of the amazing chocolate cake (with peanut butter frosting) that my wife made me for my birthday. YUM!

  22. Jim Alfredson

    I'm a little overwhelmed by all the birthday wishes. I have some awesome friends and an incredible family. I am truly blessed. Thank you all and I hope you all have a wonderful day too! I'm spending the day with my beautiful wife and kids. Oh, and I got a free Hammond A100 today. :) Happy Birthday to me! :D

    Playing at Stober's with Jeff Shoup tonight. We start at 10pm. Dig it!

    Happy Birthday to Bob Moog. Wish he was still with us; would love to talk to him.

    What a fun trip to Chicago with Zora. We're about to get something to eat and hit the road back home. Hopefully she'll remember this weekend for a long time. Thanks to Bill Gallagher and Emily Gallagher for making her weekend all the sweeter. Ayy, let me Twitter dat.
