A few random neural firings:

• I almost forgot it was Cinco de Mayo yesterday. I made myself a “white trash margarita” (tequila + Baja Blast Mountain Dew).
• Also, last night I was reminded that I’ve never cared about anything less than the Met Gala.
• Today is my mom’s 64th birthday. “When I’m Sixty-Four” by the Beatles self-rec.
• In a couple of weeks, my wife and I are going to New Orleans for our church’s Synod Assembly. We were selected to be two of the lay-member voters along with our pastors, because the local bishop is retiring and we have to elect a new one. I explained this to my 15-year-old son, who replied, “Is the bishop retiring because he can only move diagonally?”

I guess it’s time to go back to not giving a crap about the NBA. Friggin’ Bandwagon State…

Yesterday I bought a new belt that was made entirely of interconnected wristwatches.

It was a complete waist of time.

Whew… three days, 19 different draft-related threads, and a total of 2,178 comments.

Needless to say, I’m burned out on draft talk now. So instead, I’m gonna write about music. I read an article the other day about underrated Aerosmith songs; therefore, here are my Top 5 lesser known tracks by Aerosmith, in chronological order:

• “Woman of the World” (Get Your Wings, 1974)
• “Lick and a Promise” (Rocks, 1976)
• “Let the Music Do the Talking” (Done With Mirrors, 1985)
• “Magic Touch” (Permanent Vacation, 1987)
• “F.I.N.E.” (Pump, 1989)

Honorable mention goes to “Road Runner” (Honkin’ On Bobo, 2004), but I didn’t include it because it’s a cover song.
