Spent last night playing videogames (X-men Saga, Gamecube) with Cian and Abe and Jesse with Cian's special lady Ashley spectating, complaining that it was too easy for us, that she wanted to see us die. Good times. I haven't done anything like that in a while. Cian and Ashley have a really good thing going.

Now I'm up in Portland, getting music from Tommy for the drive east. In a minute we'll go see Todd Snider and then party for John Henry's birthday. I'm looking forward to it.
