THERE it is!

For the first time in almost two weeks, the sun is shining over the Boston area. It's one of those brisk, bright autumn days when the breeze makes the sunlight tinkle over the dancing leaves. And about bloody time, too.

In honor of the sun finally making its way through the gloom after so long an absence, today's text color is yellow.

Went to see Franz Ferdinand at the Orpheum last night. Excellent. And speaking of sparkling, what a moment for these guys, too. On the upside of celebrity, sounding great, looking great, young, thin, definitely enjoying their upward trajectory. Pity this time in their career can't be bottled for them, and saved for the inevitable downturn, like the one that always happens in the second half of Behind the Music, so that they can remember what they were in the business for in the first place. Or that they can't just be forever in this moment. If I had that power, I would give it to them.

Stay young and pretty, boys. Don't fuck this up.
