So, Saturday I went to Boston to work at Guitar Center and fix guitars ( Read more... )

I get to thinking.  It's 1 o clock in the morning, I have to be up at 7, I'm driving to Boston to work at Guitar Center, fixing people's broken guitars, and the only thing I want is a simple wish; I wish it would snow.  This is New England, so I don't know what I'm talking about; we don't get snow here, we get slush that turns into mud and gets ( Read more... )
