Rain, Rain, What the hell?


I’ve come to the conclusion that I am somehow causing it to rain in San Antonio. I know that sounds crazy, but seriously… every time I do this show it rains. And it doesn’t just rain, It’s like a freaking mäëlström (that’s spelled correctly, rïght?). I apologize, my friends. Maybe these great tunes will suffice as penitence for my soggy wrongdoings.

Another year, another class load. At least for those of us in the education field, in one way or another. Whether you’re a student, a teacher, an administrator, or just like to hang around the hallowed halls of a nearby place of learning, I salute you, as you return from a summer of quietude and reflection. Now, of course, that’s all over.

Now, it’s time to party. Let’s get to it.

Alright, I’m done traveling (well, not quite, but you won’t be affected, fair listener).
