• I’ve never known my father to play the guitar yet I found a picture of him playing a guitar. He said he used to sing lead for a band on riverboats on the Ohio River and played the clarinet in high school, but other than that I never knew him to be musically inclined. Hmm, now that I look at the picture again, there’s a small chance that might not be my dad and I’ve mistaken him because his head is tilted down. Either way, I found some space to fill up today’s post. Win/Win.

• I don’t watch the Fox4 morning show, but it will now start a half-hour earlier, 4:00 AM. I’m curious to know how the morning staff first reacted to that and when such a change in working hours happen, how is that handled in terms of pay and salary.
