Happy Birthday to me!  Cousin Justin’s is coming up on the 27th.  He is also a record store co-owner and disc golfer but not a ski-jorer.  For a birthday present please buy lots of records from us, or send us free disc golf discs (hint-hint Discraft).  Thank you.

For now, the sweet blues sounds of 89.1 WEMU playing on the radio while I eat my fried egg, ham and cheese sandwhich and watch the rain is enough for me.  God bless Ypsilanti, Michigan.

*Note* I switched the song on the player to the Detroit Lions song because not only is it my birthday today, but it’s the Lions pre-season opener tonight.  Calvin Johnson is going to play heavy minutes which means that the Lions will score at least 100 points.
