9:00pm. 4 miles to walk to get my 10,000 steps. Not really diggin' this vibe, my fellow babies.

Win the Senate. Watch a failed coup d'maggots. Drink tequila. Eat a taco.

No wind tonight, so a balmy, no-wind-chill 29°. Coincidentally, "Going to California" played during the photo shoot. "I assure you," said Interior Guy, "you are not in Laguna Beach." #ledzeppelin #reston

Spent the evening hanging out with this gang doing the normal stuff you do on a Saturday in with friends—remembering old pickups, twiddling knobs, passing around a bottle of Boone's Farm... #guitar #martinguitar #lespaul #kramerguitars #stratocaster

Can I just say that a windy 24° night, with a "feels like" temp of 14°, is superb weather for walking listening to "Immigrant Song?" Because it totally is.

Psychedelic VR. Who needs reality? See you somewhere down the rabbit hole, my fellow babies.

P.S. Taking a selfie with an ipad when you can’t see yourself = tricky business.

Operation Empty the Liquor Shelf continues, the tequila having now succumbed to frontal assault. “But wait,” I hear you say. “That’s not tequila. That’s cognac.” Ah, oui oui. Alors, la tequila needed a new home when I conceived other plans for its original bottle. So the tequila ensconced itself here. Like a hermit crab would. Or, perhaps more appropriately, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Just arrived back in port after a very fun birthday cruise to the Bahamas that the Lovely Debra arranged. We had an absolute blast. 😊 Wishing everyone an epic 2019 that blows the doors off your wildest dreams! 🤘🏻🍾🥂

Somewhere in Georgia

Debra caught some sort of death bug, so we had to skip Harry Potter World and head home, but I did find this Bentley in a McDonald's parking lot in Georgia. I'm hoping it'll follow me home.

It's been a while since I stayed at a motel where it's two levels with doors along an outside edge where you walk up exterior, concrete stairs and dudes with no shirts hang around on the walkway outside in the soft evening air talking about life and you can hear EVERY WORD and making The Debra say, "But should they be standing right outside our door talking?" Dinner, by the way, was delicious. 20 seasoned salt/Florida Bay chicken wings and cold beer on a 78° night in late December at a roadside joint called the Nice -N- Easy Oyster Bar & Grille in Orange City, Florida. Choice, my fellow babies. Choice.
