Hot wheels<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The other day on Lisbon Street, I saw one fully grown man pushing another fully grown man in what appeared to be some kind of souped-up shopping cart. The dude riding in the cart must have been 30 years old, but I swear he was grinning so broadly, his face took on the giddy sheen of an ecstatic 5-year-old. I think I might have even heard him yell \u201cwheeeee!\u201d as the cart jumped a curb and sped across the street. I don\u2019t begrudge the fellow this kind of nostalgic fun.

Spinning all the hits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For some reason, my work email address got on some list somewhere and now I\u2019m getting glowing press releases for all the musical artists in the world. And I mean all of them. As of last Tuesday, I can tell you what \u201cbrooding and intense\u201d recreational songwriter is releasing his next album from Milwaukee; what Los Angeles-based vocalist is spitting out a \u201cbeautiful diorama that tries to contain the many divergent threads of folk, all bound by her soaring voice,\u201d and which country music icon will produce her first studio album in more than a decade. I also happen to know that latter will be \u201ca deeply reflective journey through heartbreak and healing, faith and perseverance, challenges and growth.\u201d It\u2019s good to know that while I sometimes have to wait long, miserable hours for information from the police department just down the road, at least the global music industry has my back.<\/p>\n

New computer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So, I bought this new computer with just bonzer specs. We\u2019re talking 32 GB of expandable RAM, a spiffy fast processor and an SSD with a terabyte just waiting to be filled. This Lenovo is all set up and ready to take over as my daily driver at any time. Yet, here I sit, pecking at the keys on my moribund Dell, produced during the early part of the Obama administration when RAM was still in the single digits. Why no switchy? It\u2019s pure superstition, bros. Since the desktop…<\/p>\n
