sainthood is fleeting
Today I found out one of my best friends in the world died. T. Milt died last night. He was a wonderful friend, a font of music knowledge, a kind person who loved his wife and animals. We did so much together. Talked more shit than you can imagine, rated records, articles, bands. We booked…

We had a team build at work on Thursday and I got to play with water colors. It was a lot of fun. I enjoy playing with art still, I thought I had forgotten, but nope, I still love doodling and coloring. But, I still create like a five year old. Thank you @rootdivision for…
