    Book 4 - Demian - Hermann Hesse I found this while my wife and I did a re-org of our office and bookshelves. Someone loaned this to me long ago and I had kind of forgotten about it. So instead of the donate pile, I put it in my to-read pile. Pretty quick read, although dense in spots. It was my...

    Day 12 - Tourism Day - Play a record from a place you'd love to go to, or has an artist in the group that hails from a place you'd love to go to. I've been to a few countries overseas, but never Ireland. It's on the list!

    Day 11 - National Guitar Day - Play something that has a guitar sound you love. Love the prompt. My first favorite guitarist was Page, and the solo on SRtS version of No Quarter is sublime, imo. The solo on The Rover is a close second. Tony Iommi, Eddie Hazel, and Stevie Ray Vaughan are...

    My friend's son and his friends entered the Doritos commercial contest. Coincidentally it also featured aliens, as did the winning entry. Theirs was creative and pretty funny, more-so than much of what I saw Sunday.

    That's an all timer for me. I actually haven't watched it in years, but my VHS copy got played like crazy back in the 90s. I should give it a watch again. The car accident scene has stuck with me all this time, that's for sure.

    That's what I texted a friend this morning; I didn't realize he was in his 90s!

    I have a story about the Aquarium Rescue Unit. Their bass player Oteil tried to steal my girlfriend when my band opened for them at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor. She was boarding their tour bus as I was loading our band van, but I managed to talk her out of leaving with them. Dude is amazingly...

    Book 3 - Portnoy's Complaint - Phillip Roth Pretty funny here and there, overall it's great satire, but felt a bit long. It's structured in first person-to-therapist delivery, I found myself losing focus and skimming at times.

    Day 7 - National Wear Red Day Please don't confuse my laziness for apathy. I love this album, and someone here turned me on to it...I just don't remember. AOTM maybe? I didn't do a search.
