They’re Padresing!

And Paul Weller and Paul Waller.

Also Lewis Capaldi. Crazy that he did a meet n greet at M-Theory Records (in San Diego) just a few years ago before exploding.

Watching the Sky F1 grid walk and I see a dude taking a photo in front of a McLaren. “That looks like Jack Bates” I think to myself (of Smashing Pumpkins and Peter Hook and the Light). Sure enough, he’s later lined up in the VIP start line pen with the Pumpkins.

I appreciate the #AvGeek attention to detail, Scott.

Same. Flew American JFK-CDG many years ago. Even JFK-LAX in the middle section with only three across was pleasant.

I 💙 the 767

Lights! Models! Guest list! Just do your best, darling.

San Diego and San Francisco are with you in saying, “Go Phils!”

Who's ready for a national conversation about people who talk during concerts?

If this sets up the league for future success and expansion, great, but losing four teams in the offseason is rough.

The Nightfly with Toto and Thriller links! I discovered Greg Phillinganes via Anthony Marinelli’s videos. It’s been fun to see how much he played on.

Donald Fagen’s The Nightfly and Kamakiriad CDs lie on a brown shelf next to a potted plant.

Entering my “listening to all the Steely Dan albums in order” stage so it’s Donald Fagen Day for #CDFriday.

Referencing my last post with the hashtag, The Nightfly CD was a regular player at the music store I worked at with the boss who co-wrote a song on Jennifer Warnes’ True Emotion.

The greatest gift of all: peace and quiet.

The water year ended Tuesday (Sept. 30). San Diego finished with 5.07 inches of rain, just more than half the normal annual total (9.79). It's the 16th driest year in city history (since 1850) & the driest since 2017-18, when 3.34 inches fell. Last year, the city got 12.43. #sandiegoweather #CAwx
