The Syndicate

This qualifies.

I was listening to XM radio.

I couldn't find anything I wanted to hear.

I said to myself, "If I could request a song, I'd call the DJ and ask for Tarkus."

I dialed back to channel 27 just in time to hear, "It's only 20 minutes long," from Earle Bailey.

Tarkus. Boom.

"The Spirit of Radio" indeed.

A former coworker of mine (a Spanish teacher) shot and killed his estranged wife (a translator for our county) and then turned the gun on himself.

My favorite food is Ribeye steak, cooked at home. Pizza is also a long time favorite of mine.

I make a wing ding of a pizza. Homemade crust with Parmesan cheese and Yuengling Shiner Bock in it. I love all manner of cheeses, especially Mozzarella and ricotta. Nearly any topping is acceptable, but I really like spicy Italian sausage.

I also have a (free) copy of the Book of Mormon, but I have not read it all.
