I have a weird sense of humor. And by that, I mean I don’t find funny the things a lot of other people find funny.  This was the topic of conversation at my department meeting last week.  When asked for an example of something I would laugh at, I busted out a video of Joey Ryan explaining the history of the ampersand in the middle of The Milk Carton Kids show.  I am SO ready to laugh this Monday at Largo as The Milk Carton Kids present the Sad Songs Comedy Hour!  It’s the start of a big week.  Hopefully I’ll be ready. Last week, I had to take some time to rest in order to recover from my SXSW experience.  Speaking of, I found a few words (perhaps a few too many) on that week. Plus, I put together a lovely playlist.  Check it out here.
