Have you ever hit one of those rough patches where everything kinda sucks? I just crawled out of the most miserable 3 or 4 months. I tend to stay fairly positive, cynical, but positive. The last few months really were stressful. My kids were sick for what seemed like months. I seemed to be sick every other week for a couple months. I had a several-thousand-dollar car repair right before the car was totalled in an accident, and the new car that I bought had a bunch of repairs. It seemed as though I was just heading down a long tunnel and when I was finally seeing the light it just turned out to be the train’s headlight.To add to the misery, this is Wisconsin. We have 6-8 months of winter. People who grow up here say I’m exaggerating, but I’m not. During the depths of winter the sun sets at 4:00. Ok, it is really 4:30 but still…Suddenly, like the snap of fingers,...

As a father of a couple of girls I will occasionally find things that… well this is the latest thing…That is a naked Barbie forcefully lodged in the refrigerator door… and the turtle seems interested in her predicament.Being a father teaches me alot.

I was pretty happy with how it turned out.Milwaukee Digital Printing

So I’ve been listening to an album all week and I have to say I’m quite impressed. It is The Claypool Lennon Delirium – Monolith of Phobos. It is a collaboration between Les Claypool of Primus and Sean Lennon of Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger. I am not familiar with Sean Lennon but I used to listen to Primus quite a bit. The album has a older sound, almost like ’60’s or 70’s psychedelic rock (that’s a thing right?). It is a little silly and a little weird, a lot like Primus, but it is unlike anything I’ve heard lately. If you saw the newer Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it reminds me a bit of the new Oompa Loompa songs. Which sounds really off-putting but really turns out to be something wonderful. This is not a children’s album. One song is about a boy and his use of prescription pills to treat his depression while another is...
