When Was the Last Time You Thought of…

…Klaus Nomi? For me it was yesterday afternoon. Mary and I were driving back from Charleston, listening to a little "Fred" on XM, when out of the nowhere I got an image of his rather unique look in my head. So take a break, kick back, and enjoy a little Total Eclipse from one of the weirdest looking and sounding figures in 80s music (and that's saying a lot).

Birthday Season

Did you know it's "birthday season?" Neither did I, not until I walked into Target yesterday to buy a birthday card for my father. Apparently, he was born in season, but I wasn't. This has me vaguely concerned.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to prepare for birthday season. I'd hate to do something inappropriate or at odds with the spirit of the time. I suspect Target just wants me to buy lots of stuff at their store. Not the most expansive reason for the season, perhaps, but they did invent it so I guess it's their call.
