Still in touch?

Either I’m ahead of the curve, still hip, in touch with the kids, simple in my music tastes, or just plain lucky, but I guess I know what’s going on. I was wandering out to the porch to smoke and read before I went up to the bedroom and watched pirated second season Veronica Mars episodes.

Thankfully, I refrained from mentioning that I’d seen them play live about five months back, opening for Less Than Jake. Yeah… the ego’s been needing a bit of steady upkeep lately, but there’s no need to try and prove myself to a second grader.
