Here we are, concluding yet another long week in the chapter of each of our lives. It’s been tough. We lost Steve Jobs, the Yankees choked [ed. not everyone views this as “tough”], and Ashton and Demi are getting divorced. One might want to see what the bottom of a bottle of Jack looks like after a week like this, but I urge you not to do that. Take a little nip if you must, but let our mp3s this week be a helping hand out of the maudlin haze and back up into the saddle, so you’ll be ready to face another long week in the endless succession of long weeks that will make up our long lives.
