Vermont 2008

Did I mention I have some incredible friends? And some of them are not only straight - but have KIDS? Well Mike is one of those guys. I was fortunate enough to work for him at The Bombay Company - back when they were in business (before they sucked the life out of everything good and decent). As a job it sucked hard, I was a district manager working for a company from Ft. Worth, that thought that the Brazero system should be legalized, or at least retail maquiladoras should be intitutionalized in North America. Whatever, I rant. But Mike's a great guy, they did me the favor of firing me. And we've been friends ever since. Well, last August I flew back to visit him and his kids in a little town in Vermont. We went to a folk festival in Saratoga, New York that featured Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Gillian Welsh, The Swell Season, The Mystic Valley Band (lead by Conor Oberst; the hottie who heads Bright Eyes), Steve Earle and Raul Malo. One helluva day, and a fantastic relaxing week. Mike when are you and the boys visiting me?
