1. All Tomorrow's Parties
2. Waiting for the Man
3. Venus in Furs
4. Heroin
5. Run Run Run

You could randomly shuffle the order of 2--5 and I'd be okay with it but ATP stays at the top - it's probably my favorite song from the 1960s.

Happiest birthday, Tep!

We've done something similar. My job of 24+ years went away (thanks covid) so we sold our house 'cos the market's crazy & we didn't want to live in Georgia anymore. Moved to Winston-Salem 2 months ago. We love it here. No job for now (I'm taking a "gap year" as the kids say). Making art, enjoying s...
