Check engine light came on in the driveway … again. Went off when I turned it off and re-lit. Other than that, it appears to be running great.

From the article…
Corey Mintz Age 34. Sign “Where are we, Plato’s Retreat?

But my chauffeur drives a Prius.” Dream date “Matinee of Manhattan or Big Sleep at the Bloor theatre. Scotch and popcorn in the balcony. Dinner at the Black Hoof. She picks up the cheque while I’m in the boys room.” Guilty pleasure Q-tips. Fun fact “I sneak spoons into Ethiopian restaurants.” Words to live by “This conversation needed to end one minute ago.” Why Shinan picked me “Shinan needs new glasses.”

Jericho was great as usual
This time it was Lowry Olafson, and he and his percussionist and accordionist were made of awesome. Beautiful, simple songs with lots of heart and humour. Jacques on the cajón was superlative and had folks in the audience craning their necks (what the heck is THAT that he is sitting on and sounds like a full drum kit?). I sang Tapioca on a borrowed mando and Forty Million Lightyears, which triggered the headliner to sing a filk song! of his own composition!!! go Allegra….
