No Thanks, I Drink It Straight From the Carton
I stopped by the deli on my way in to work this morning to purchase a pint of half and half. For reasons that remain unclear, the woman who rang me up gave me a straw to go with it. I laughed at the thought of drinking half and half with a straw and [...]

Morning Song Day Five
This morning brought a twofer as both Guster and The Bravery battled for musical control of my waking brain. There’s a slight hiccup though because I can’t quite remember what the two specific tracks were, much less the lyrics.

Morning Song Day Two
