I’m currently on my way to NYC o visit some old college friends and then to spend Christmas Day with my aunt and uncle in New Jersey. And as I was preparing to write something sweet and sentimental about spending the holidays with family and old friends, a gentleman walked by and nearly gave me a buzz from the mere whiff of alcohol emanating from his body, the kid behind me began blaring his music at an unholy volume whilst using earphones, and the woman in the awful animal print shirt next to me must have just lost a lung in her last coughing bout. So, the mood is gone. And I really really wish I had brought some chocolate along for the bus ride…

But! Regardless of the bus odors and my odd food cravings, I can still provide you with entertainment. Check out David Holt on the banjo :)

May your soul be stirred.
