Restart

I’m flummoxed today and have no idea about what I wish to write.

Finally Catching Up
Last night I headed home from work and fired up my network for the first time in nearly a week. After the almost-predictable, near-heart-stopping near-non-startup of one my computers things went well and six hours later I had downloaded all of the podcasts that I missed while away.

Have I mentioned how slow my DSL is? The DSL that I pay too much for each month? The DSL that I’ve considered changing at least five times in the last three years but figure that I’d rather deal with the devil I know instead of the one that I do not?

Oh well, at least I am caught up now. Now all I have to do is find the time to listen and watch the downloaded content.

ITP Flickr Pic
It appears that it’s going to be ITP iPhone Flickr Pic week.

On my way home I stopped at Lee’s Bakery on Buford Highway and consumed this delicious crazy cheap sandwich for dinner.

So You Say You Used To Be A Grandaddy Fan?
Well my friend, let me tell you about an upcoming release from Grandaddy’s former lead singer Jason Lytle. Next week Lytle will release “Yours Truly, The Commuter” and thanks to NPR you can stream this release at their First Listen website.

Heck, while you are there you may want to give the upcoming John Vanderslice release a virtual spin as well. Vanderslice will be playing The EARL in June.
