Happy belated new year one and all. Things are coming along at the Skelton Ranch. Took in the new year with the amazing new double drumming line-up of the Melvins at the Roseland. I was happy to see a mom at the show holding a 16-month old (I asked) in her arms. Baby’s first Melvins show!
We brought a vegetarian tatter tot hotdish over to Brian and Corinna the other night and met a two-week old baby Declan. Corinna gifted us one of her famous handmade baby hats and Brian held court with many tips and tricks for surviving delivery. Useful.
Last night before the misses went in to get her hair cut & styled, we popped into a little boutique store that sold various nick nacks. While browsing, the misses picked up a neon green bottle of scented air freshener, looked it over and then put it back down. About twenty seconds later another women swooped in and picked up the same bottle and proceeded to spray herself down like she was at the perfume counter at Nordstoms. This delighted the misses to no end.
I was reminiscing with AJ yesterday about this killer game we used to play on the Amiga called Defender of The Crown. That was 1986. Twenty years ago. Damn. As is the case with just about everything now days, there is an exact replicated shockwave version of the game you can play.
More nostalgia: Naked Raygun reunion video playing ‘Suspect Device’ with Jake Burns from Stiff Little Fingers on surprise vocals.
This weekend, bearing any early arrivals, we are heading up to Skamania Lodge for a little R&R.
