SSAB - August 20, 2026

They say you only clean when you’re trying to avoid something… I’m avoiding booking tickets because I’m still miffed about going to Toronto! But what else is there to do?

So what was I cleaning? The Attic of course! Was requested for an old CD player, and I found one! Some of my first drum cymbals and… the family’s FIRST COMPUTER! (Listen til the end!

Gotta finish up reading The Stand AND 1929… it’s coming due.

And my apologies for digressions yesterday! As I was recording, my nose felt tickley! The logistics of podcasting is that if the episodes are longer than my transcripts don’t automatically get deposited into my master spreadsheet!
