Oh man. I met Lenny when he was playing w/ the Cavs and signed my basketball and got a sweatband for my trouble. Super nice gentleman. RIP.

50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald began her final voyage across Lake Superior. Less than 36 hours later she vanished. Five decades later "Why?" is still a mystery. Starting tomorrow, I'll tell the story of her final hours on the lake - as they happened.

Big, big win by the Cavs over the Bulls; 12-0 run at the end to ice the game and after a dud of a first 2 games Jalen Tyson is really looking good.

The Douglas thin line tele is getting a new bridge, pickguard, string retainers and knobs for Xmas and it's long overdue

I have somehow never read Breakfast of Champions and holy hell in three pages Vonnegut sums it all up - colonialism, racism, income inequality, and a guy who owns a car dealership who reads a scifi novel and takes away the wrong idea

Trains Across The Sea makes me burst into tears, every time. DCB was a songwriting genius
