Good list. I feel derelict. Hosting next Friday, too?

Todd Mason said...

Rather more promptly, yes. My inability to stay awake is concerning.

Mathew Paust said...

More coffee.

Todd Mason said...

Hi cocoa, low sugar dark chocolate helps.

There's always deadline fear, and the adrenalin it pumps. More effective for me than anything else. I should have something for you by end of day tomorrow. Working on Robert Pirsig and the sound of a one-lung motorcycle engine coughing.

Todd Mason said...

Looking forward to it, Matt...though Thursday is Monthly Underappreciated Music...I always tie Pirsig in with the likes of Richard Brautigan..if you meet the Buddha on a rice-burner mini-bike, one-stroke him...
