Days of Sobriety: 88
I'm working on my PhD in physics. I just ran my first half-marathon. I like gardening, playing the piano, whiskey, writing and discgolf. Not necessarily in that order, though.
I have bad taste in music, and I freely admit it. For example, at this moment I am listening to Gene Pitney sing "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", the theme song from the film of the same name, released in 1962.
Oh, and once I saw a blimp.

BarFly’s Battle of the Band Vans takes place on Sunday, June 22nd! Dozens of local bands will be proudly putting their road rigs on display, car-show style, competing for cash and prizes, at this exclusive BarFly Barbeque (it’s also our ninth anniversary!) for the hard-working rank and file of the Portland service industry. There will be free barbeque, complimentary beer and booze, and live performances by Pure Country Gold, Frank Furter and the Hot Dogs, Big Duck, and Howie and the Hot Knives. Celebrity judges will give awards for Most Innovative, Most Party Hearty, Flair-iest, Most Legendary, and Best Presentation. The Grand Prize, Number One Band Van in Portland, will be decided by popular vote. There’ll be up to $500 cash on the line for the Grand Prize winner, so the competition is sure to be fierce. You’ve got to be in it to win it, so enter today at www.barflypdx.com!
