Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Options

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Prior health crises (my wife and I have both had cancer and I almost lost a foot to a staph infection last year) wound up being good preparation for this. We're both still employed and able to work remotely and so far don't seem to have caught the thing so it hasn't been hard.
