From an album that I have a hard time picking out a favorite song - because they're all so damn good - I present to you Don't Give Up from the latest Washed Out album, Paracosm.
J'adore cet album tellement.

PEANUTS AND CRACKER JACK
It's so difficult to put a friend in the past tense.
Nearly 10 years after I left the city I lovingly refer to as My Oz, I finally bid my beloved New York Yankees a fond farewell. It just got too difficult to follow a team based 2,500 miles away, especially without cable or satellite service. Besides, most of the players that were on the team when I lived there have since retired, the old stadium has been replaced with something nicer yet too expensive to visit, and I'm no longer familiar enough with the new players to make it worth my while.
I deleted the MLB app from my cellphone, removed their Facebook page from my list of Likes, and stopped following their Twitter page. However, I will still wear the shirt pictured above with fond memories of all the Nathans hot dogs and Cracker Jack that I washed down with Pabst Blue Ribbon beer in The House That Ruth Built.

BRIDGEWORK
The Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge has finally opened to traffic, ten years overdue and $5 billion dollars over budget.
I don't think transportation officials get to pat themselves on the back just because they opened it a few hours earlier than anticipated, as they did last night.

CEMENT POND
Beer, barbecue, a swimming pool and lots of family gossip?
Okay, Pete and Gina, here I come!
