The girls are on a spring break road trip which means I have a bit of time in the evenings. I'm spending it cleaning the garage. That's a job I can only do by consuming large quantities of alcohol to keep my mind dull. Otherwise I'll invent reasons to keep the cruft. The only challenge is to get as much into the trash as possible before the motor skills vanish.

Once in a while I've heard little snippets about mp3.com, where my music used to reside on the net. If you recall, they got bought by Vivendi. They also stopped sending me royalty checks. Then the music vanished. But never fear; another bright new startup came along and bought the customer list and data. So Maxwell Silverthorn is back again, now at GarageBand.Com. Appropriate.
