33 Songs Down, 17 to Go

Lyrics inspired by a Facebook conversation about my niece’s first two days of kindergarten. Sort of. I guess.

Musically, this one may have been written in the Trapp Family Lodge*. The Hills are Alive with the Sound of GarageBand for iPad.

*It may have been written the night after we stayed at the Trapp Family Lodge. I can’t remember. It was the first song idea I messed with during our Canadian vacation in July, I know that for sure.

Stupid Lunch

For years now I’ve been telling myself, “if you make your lunch for the next day at night before bed then you won’t have to worry about it in the morning, and if you’re running late it will be okay because you can still brown bag it.”

Last night I made today’s lunch before I went to bed. I was so proud of myself. Good job, Robbie!

When I left for work this morning I forgot it. My nice little lunch bag is still sitting in the fridge at home. I didn’t remember it until I was walking into the door at work.

Stupid lunch. Stupid Robbie.

Song of the Day

The music for this was written in a hotel room in upstate New York. How rock and roll is that?? The lyrics are the second in a growing group of songs inspired by folk stories I found on a website. Here’s a link to this story. It’s about a guy who was famous for tall tales and cider.

When Can We Go Back?

I just watched Artie T Demoulas give a speech to Market Basket employees.  It was a good speech.  Lots of thank yous and you guys are amazings and you are so loyal and all that good stuff.

The only unanswered question is this:

When can I go back to shopping at a supermarket that is actually big enough to fit customers in the aisles?

Because I’m ready.  I’m ready to not have to wait in line to get from one end of the cookie aisle to the next.  I’m ready to shop in a store where I know where to go to get the stuff I want.  No more of this aimless wandering around looking for the crunchy peanut butter.

Welcome back, Market Basket.
