PILLBOX #241: Made From Stuff on Earth
I had to go to IKEA to return a rug, a floor lamp, and two desk lamps. But, before I could do that, I had to find the receipt for the floor lamp and the desk lamps. And, before I could do THAT, I had to remember everything I did on the day I bought the lamps. I could remember what I wore, what I didn’t wear, what I paid with, where I parked, where I couldn’t take a cart… What I couldn’t remember was where I stashed the damned receipt. At some point during this recording, I had to change microphones. I think my trusted Audio-Technica AT3035 (discontinued) mic finally gave out. I took a few moments to mourn the passing of an old friend, and quickly replaced it with another mic. Listen, I love the old mic, but the show must go on. Right? I tell a story about having to drive to Burbank to buy a telescope on the same day I had lunch with my old college friend the celebrity priest. I hit a lot of traffic on the way to lunch, so the trip to a lot longer than I expected. Or could stand. The photo above is of BEER.
