Starting off a cold morning with a disc from a compilation of Grateful Dead tracks featuring Pigpen that a friend made me years ago. Ron’s vocals are suiting my mood this week. I love when he fronted this band. . . so sad we lost him way too early due to his heavy drinking.  

I'm pretty shocked that the "Local TV/Media" for the NFL even shows up as part of the pie. I assume that's just for preseason games. I would have thought that the NFL had to give that away.

They actually defined a metal flask as a "can" and refused to let them in. It made for a chaotic ticket line. People were laughing like crazy when I got to the front of the line and they tried telling me I couldn't bring it in. The head of their security team had to come over to let me in.
