I like CDs. I just don't listen to music on physical media enough to really justify having a dedicated setup anymore. My boss, on the other hand, collects the damn things. He's got an entire large bookshelf filled with vintage CD

It's been several years but I also had the pleasure of meeting Rusty down at the studio once. My dad has now made it a habit; he's been to SF for work and pleasure four or five times now, and met up with him each time, I believe.

My local airport is so small that they don't process security until half an hour before boarding. We have one "gate", and the planes we get can hold 50 people when full. I have Precheck (always marked on the boarding pass and

Business hours. I'm at work from 8AM to 6PM five days a week. Near the winter solstice, the sun sets around 4:30-5:30. Getting up earlier would just make me have to go to bed earlier. It's dark either way.
