Get A Haircut And Get A Real Job...

Yesterday was a rainy, gray CSN day with a Santana side dish; dessert was a a smooth and scrumptious Wes Montgomery. Today...? Maybe some Les Paul and Mary Ford or Village Stompers...?

Yesterday was also a near perfect day for the new me. Gentle rain whispering sweet nothings to soft, dancing leaves; pleasant conversations with friends; a satisfactory evening photograph.

A late summer indulgence that even a kitchen klutz like myself can make.
