The chryon on CNN reads, "Vance in Ohio: 'I'm not talking about Husted's ass'". I'm getting all nostalgic for the days when "Boxers or briefs?" was considered an inappropriate question. Am I old?

Another sick day, another round of Price Is Right. When I was a kid I was fascinated by the huge dollar amounts, but now I watch and think, "That guy probably *needs* that washer-dryer. And I'd like one too."

(Sadly, you can't get Vernors in Massachusetts. And we all know that a cup of hot Vernors cures everything.)

As we mark again the World Day Against the Death Penalty, we call to mind God’s command: ‘do not repay anyone evil for evil.’ (Romans 12:17) Amidst a culture that seems focused on death, we remember that no person is beyond God’s love, mercy and redemption, as Archbishop Shelton J Fabre, reminds us. The Church offers this message to all people - without exception. We mourn with victims’ families and also recognize that the death penalty only pulls us away from a culture of life. Join us in prayer for an end to the use of the death penalty in our country and around the world, and for the conversion of all hearts and minds towards a culture of life. @CMNEndtheDP @ArchLouKY

Stuck at home with a cold. I just watched The Price Is Right, and now it's time for a nap. We don't mess with tradition around here.

Today I learned that LAUDATE DOMINUM (Parry) has a pretty great alto line. It's a) interesting and b) almost comfortable for me to sing. Y'all need to program this tune more often!

When I am elected president I will form an ad hoc committee for developing quiet trucks. Of course, as president, my bedroom will be farther away from the neighbors' loading dock, but I won't forget the little people.

Asking for prayers again, because this month keeps kicking me in the teeth, and I'm finding it hard to pray myself. Ugh.

Keep praying, gang. It's really not good. And thank you!

This is why you should take music history narratives with a grain of salt. You'll hear in documentaries "heavy rock like Hendrix was born out of pessimism and anxieties about the Vietnam War" and meanwhile in reality this was what the 1969 normie was listening to
