Mixtape Memory: Jill's Greatest Hits

Recently I ran into an old friend of mine, someone I hadn't seen in at least 15 years. After we said our hellos and talked about our kids and such, I started hearing Mark Knopfler's voice in my head, singing about Romeo and Juliet. And then I dug this up: a mix she sent me back in 1992. Looks like she was into "The Wonder Years" and was a Ferris fan. I'm guessing she doesn't listen to quite as much Pink Floyd nowadays.

This is my toddler's most requested song right now. I even find her singing along with Charles Grodin. The heart warms.

Un Petit Monde

Kurt Moses' photography involves three things I'm obsessed with: miniatures, diners, and road trips. You can see more here, and buy cards and prints here.

Torch Song

60 years ago today, Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner got married, back when celebrity marriage was about passion and brawls instead of profits and baloney.
