Recent developments - not much!

 "Each day acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes as well; and after you have many thoughts, select one to be thoroughly digested that day." - Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The best gift I've gotten in quite a while

 ... too bad I had to buy it for myself :)  R.L. Burnside, self-taught Mississippi Blues guitarist.

Another good day for music!

 "A man's greatness lies not in wealth and station, as the vulgar believe.  Nor does it lie in his intellectual capacity, which is often associated with the worst moral character - the most abject servility to those in high places and arrogance to the poor and lowly.  But a man's true greatness lies in the consciousness of an honest purpose in life, founded upon a just estimate of himself and everything else.  On frequent self-examination, and a steady obedience to the rule which he knows to be right - without troubling himself, as the emperor says he should not, about what others may say , or whether they do or don't do that which he thinks and says and does." - Marcus Aurelius

Was listening to my playlist on the way to work this morning and heard these really cool songs.  Just had to share these good bluesy songs.
