Road Trip

This afternoon The Elusive 4th Tenor and I are road tripping across the state to St. Louis. The St. Louis Symphony is performing Messiaen's colossal and amazing Turangalila Symphony. Neither rain nor sleet nor snow nor those damned 40 mph gusts of wind are gonna stop us.

None of my recent experiences with the SLSO have been disappointments so I'm pretty excited about this, especially since the chances are slim I'm ever going to hear this amazing work in my hometown.

Now that's...

funny.

...

I found your pants.

They were inside a pair of dress socks being worn by a Wookiee playing a harmonica.

Sand

pussy.
