Santana’s Banana Bandana
When I was about 20, some friends and I drove out to Vegas to see the Grateful Dead. It was their first time playing Vegas in many years, and I’d never seen them live. I’m not a Deadhead by any stretch, but it sounded like an adventure, so I went. We took a ’69 Volkswagen [...]

I Brake for Money
Posting will be light this week, as I’ve got to overhaul a client web site. It’s a small site, but they need a quick turnaround.
