My current favorite cap is from an great independent record store in Missoula, Montana (where my parents live) called Rockin' Rudy's.
It is so old and worn now that the brim has started to detach from the actual cap, the metal part on the back has betinaed and the cap has faded quite a bit.

This picture was taken in August 2003 at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) by my best friend Clare Vance. We had some pints of beer while on standby to see my parents in Missoula. I miss those beers sometimes, but leaned on them way too hard an often as a comfort and they always let me down the next day. It is better, although not necessarily easier, to seek comfort elsewhere like in a simple ball cap.

I hear you on the cap.

One of my favorites is a red cap I got at Gap for $1 about eight years ago. Enzo chewed the button on top off back when he was still a puppy. And after many washings the bill is tattered and its once bright-red fabric is a vibrant pink. Still wear it, though. I hear pink is in.

Okay Chris baby, I don't know where you heard that about the pink cap, but you keep wearing it. I have two Gap caps in my collection -- they are second stringers.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
