Not a bad set, particularly for '83. And remarkable that the first song and last song tied for BOS. I don't recall that ever happening before. I'd have voted for the English Beat and Aztec Camera songs, had I been able to listen. Too much going on today--meetings with contractors and subs, meeting with dairy fabricator, and five+ hours doing actual cheese stuff. Oh, and two hours in the car. My day started at 7am, and it's just now ending. And I'm wiped.

(Perhaps this would be more appropriate in the I'm Tryin' To Tell You Somethin'... thread. Oh well--if I had more energy I'd move it.)
Let's get right to it.

BOS to "Obvious" as I get ready to leave for work.
Leave for work?  What kinda schedule are you on out there, Gaz?

Yesterday I worked 2-11.  Today I'm 4-3.  A big part of why Time likes me is that I'm willing to do the late shifts.

Thanks!  You're helping keep us employed.

Speaking of which, if any of you know any experienced copy editors in NYC, we could use a few good temps.
