Phish is back in action, and its stirring up some old obsessive tidings of yore. I actually followed the setlist of their first show in five years on Twitter and that was oddly exciting. The shows, which they released for free for a limited time, we’re sure fun to listen to. 90 songs in 3 days, some of which are exceedingly complex. Almost all of the first sets were 2 hours long. I’ll catch a date or two this summer, thanks to my lucky and generous friends 
Speaking of Twitter, Hans, supreme overlord of my pants, passed on this gem.
My brother Doug
accompanied by his camera
and his fiancee, Erin
came to visit. We even saw some family, like cousin Lily.
Then we all traveled back east to Boston together. I was swamped with work, but to my delight discovered that Virgin America has wifi on their flights. I was able to be productive while soaring above the clouds. My last blog post was even posted from the plane back home. I heart technology.
An obscure snobbery that I harbor is for sprinkles, or “jimmies” if your from New England. I enjoy ice cream twice as much with jimmies on it, which can be upsetting when the ice cream parlor charges a dollar per topping. My mom just discovered high end sprinkles at my favorite store in Newton, Marty’s. They have redefined how sprinkles should be, and I’m probably worse off for knowing this. I did manage smuggle a large container back with me, but airport security had a field day with it.
The impetus for the trip back east was Ducey’s wedding. That was a REAL good time. Stiners and I re-connected with many a high school friend along with the UMass folks that often are spotted along side the Ducester. One down, at least four to go.
The passing of the torch . . .
