Because this is America.

I’m back.

I’ve missed a shitload of birthdays.

Happy Birthdays.

There.

Fixed it.

Today I’m going to catch you up on the Daily Photos and the songs we’ve missed. Tomorrow I’ll tell you about my trip.

When we last spoke the song of the day was “Time To Get Ill” by The Beastie Boys. It was being brought to you by Miss Perkins.

And the photo went a little something like this…

The next song was “Nuthin But A G Thang” by Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg. It was brought to you by Shamrock.

The photo went like this…

Then it was “Payback” by James Brown brought to you by Oxi Lox.

And the photo went like this…

Then it was “House Where Nobody Lives” by Tom Waits brought to you by Le Duc.

And the photo went like so…

Then Seasaw Shawn gave us “Weather Systems” by Andrew Bird.

And the photo went like this…

Then Teacher Sis gave us “You’ve Got a Friend” by James Taylor.

And this photo happened because of it…

Then Clifton hit us with Queen’s “Who Wants To Live Forever”.

And I ended up touching your world with my fingertips…

Then J-Bird brought us “Oh My Darling (Don’t Cry)” by Run the Jewels.

And I responded in kind…

After that, Junebug gave us Hamilton Leithauser’s “11 O’Clock Friday Night”.

So, I went outside…

Next up was “Beneath Still Waters” by George Jones brought to us by Le Duc.

So, I ditched the sparkling waters…

Next up was “Hurt You” by the Sounds brought to you by Deinonychus.

And I put my big boy voice on…

Then Amy the Amazing gave us “Swim Team” by Baby Teeth.

And I definitely didn’t make the team…

Next up, Ojeda the Curve reminded us that “Everyday is Halloween” via Dangerous Muse.

I agreed…

Oxi Lox then hit us with Rossini’s “Cat’s Duet”.

Which gave me the opportunity to remedy my lack of cat ears…

Next, Mike Tango gave us “Dancing Circles Round the Sun” by Rodney Crowell.

And this happened…

Next, Pancake Land reminded us of the gem that is “Maria’s Beautiful Mess” by Ellis Paul.

And I reminded her to never make a bet she isn’t willing to win…

Since we are sticking to the classics, Miss Perkins then gave us “Master of Puppets” by Metallica.

So, I had too good of a time in my hotel room…

I was feeling pretty mellow at this point and gave y’all “Planet Caravan” by Black Sabbath.

I was gonna go to the planetarium, but it was closed. So, I got trippy elsewhere…

To wake us back up a little, Purple Explosion gave us “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” by the Animals.

So, I turned to Ol’ Trusty to help me clarify…

And that brings us to today. All caught up.

Whew!

Today’s song is “Jitterbug Boy” by Tom Waits. It is being brought to you today by Jackie the Mick.

I’m off to workout for the first time in three weeks. Wish me luck.

See ya’ tomorrow.

More soon. ~SC
