The best surprises are the ones you get for yourself, and then forget you ever ordered them.
This pool table laid upside-down for two days while we waited for all five “Cavaliers” to be home so we could flip it without breaking the legs. We are re-doing our basement space and this will probably be the center of it. That’s our gal Violet lining up her shot. #family

When we were in NYC last November, as we walked thru SOHO we kept seeing this Banksy print for sale on the street for ridiculous amounts of money. I mentioned "that's basically me in a single image" and my wife kept telling me to buy one but I didn't. So, for Christmas, she surprised the shit out of me with a huge canvas print of it. It now hangs above my desk. A prized possession indeed. If I'm getting annoying about my studio move just say the word, I know I can be a little obsessive!
🎧 Genesis, (Playlist 1). Today is gift-wrapping day! I've estimated about three hours to get it all done and I needed music that makes me happy. Genesis still makes me sing along and air drum. I have two 100 minute playlists to get me thru!
Crossed one off the bucket list last night! The incredible FOXING at the HiFi in Indy. Been waiting years to see them. We caught them on the final night of their “Albatross 10th Anniversary” tour. Bonus, opening act Stay Outside absolutely killed. Great night of live rock and roll. Observation from my wife: “porn stache is the new man bun.” #cosomusic
