We are home from PortConMaine, which was awesome. My Sunday Q&A only had a handful of people, but it was Sunday at 3pm, right before closing ceremonies. I think I can forgive the crowds from staying away, especially since many of them were already gone by then. We headed out, stopped for a lovely Japanese dinner with two dear friends outside of Boston, then came home. Now we're pooped and, having been mauled by dog and cats, are going to bed....
Current Music
"Turn the Page" by Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
I was all set to do something else for Monday music -- was gonna do a DaVinci's Notebook theme this week -- but YouTube recommended a new-ish video that had been uploaded of Mark Knopfler doing one of my all-time favorite songs from his Dire Straits days, "Telegraph Road," on his 2013 tour for his new Privateering album. So I must share it with you all. It's a magnificent song about the evolution of civilization from a guy walking through empty wildnerness to settle down all the way to a post-industrial city. So many great lines in this one, including the classic, "I've run every red light on Memory Lane," and a killer guitar solo at the end.
