Thursday playlist: TV and Music we’re digging lately
A few of our favorite things: 1.) Adventure Time. It’s now in its 3rd season on Cartoon Network. There’s a little 7 year old we know who started watching it recently. And suddenly his parents were as eager as he was to catch up on all the old episodes. A lovely 21 year old house [...]

Thursday playlist: Loose associations
Last time grandpa fawcett posted here, it was a bunch of gripes. This time it’s a jumble of thoughts and enthusiasms, the ramblings of early dementia: 1.) This song “A Real Hero” by College (feat. Electric Youth) is from the movie Drive. I could not stop playing this song every day, ten times a day, [...]
Thursday playlist: 10 recent gripes
Ten recent gripes: 1.) Aging 2.) American people’s opposition to Progressive Taxation. How did so many Americans reach the conclusion that it is not the role of goverment to correct economic injustice? It makes me sick that lofty principals of limited government trump the equally lofty principals of economic fairness. America is so weird. 3.) [...]
