I was in the office today working on a few things and I had to do a Joe Biden video for the A block. I usually work on it on my phone but end up throwing away the practice runs. Here is my first take and then my last take- the final one was shot with Andre but the first one is just me improvising into the phone. You can see the early seed of the idea and where it developed.
Let’s see how it does on the show!
Please use the term media cave, - I hate the phrase man cave - it’s reductive and derogatory. As Sebastian Maniscalco said “my father had a man cave it was the house”
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“On the Oregon Trail?!?”
I’ve been stressing about everything I need to get done to start our sojourn westward.
I don’t exhibit it.
It is there.
I didn’t sleep well last night worrying about it.
So this morning, immediately after coffee, I went out to get the remainder accomplished, worrying I wouldn’t have enough time prior to our attending an afternoon LAX match. The last of the season for El Presidente, and then dinner to celebrate my beloved’s 65th birthday.
I finished everything except for;
Topping off the pressure in the outside passenger tire on ‘The Dude’, Filling up ‘The Dude’ with fuel, and loading the Scoot in the garage.
When I to go get fuel at a nearby truck stop, I’ll top off the tire as I’m sure they’ve a high pressure air pump. Mine makes the process a pain in the ass. I laid under the back of the truck for 20 minutes and was only able to raise the pressure about 6 lbs. When you are talking 22” 110lbs tire pressure. It takes awhile.
After we load ...
“The ‘little brother of war’”
Last LAX Saturday of the season.
El Presidente currently has a school tournament, one lose and you go home.
Her team was undefeated until their last game on Tuesday.
Hero has a game now. There are 4 other kids with a red sparkly helmet like him now. He’s #18, this is his last game of the season.
Little Bear had his last scrimmage/practice (they don’t play real games at his age)this morning, he scored a goal.
“Loving her was easier”
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money, love, and time we had to spend
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Coming close together with a feeling that I've never known before in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman nor afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
And loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
