I am officially taking bavatuesdays off Bluehost starting this weekend, so there may be some extended downtime on the bava.

In fact, I’ve donned the Sony headphones and been grooving continuously on The Roots’s album “Things Fall Apart” which does a beautiful job of quoting old school rap while setting the standard for alternative Hip Hop, truly a masterpiece.
