Well I'm not ashamed of this or anything, but there are two. The first is to spin around in my chair, singing along with random tunes in my music collection. the second is to put on a good documentary and gorge on raisin Bran. Hey, it beats getting drunk every weekend.
Normally I don't do this, but anyone who missed my show last night should really go
check out the archive. I didn't quite manage to get through everything in the three-hour timeframe, but I only ran over by thirteen minutes. To be perfectly honest, I'd have to rank this among my best efforts. There was so much material, and the pace of the show was almost feverish at times. Not bad, considering I'd been up since 4:00 that morning.
Alright. time to head for home. have a wonderful day, everyone!
