Sorry if you ever tried to check out the Dick Tracy soundtrack on cassette from the library in Baltimore in the ‘90s, some kid with the surname of Thomas had it…

Thanks as always to M. The Heir Apparent, who provides the music behind the Midlife Mixtape podcast – check him out here!***Thanks to everyone who has checked in on the California fire situation – here in the Bay Area we are about 160 miles from the devastation of the Camp Fire but the air quality has been horrible days…which makes me feel even worse for people living closer to the fire area. If you feel moved to help support the victims of these New Abnormal California fires, here are three organizations to which I’ve been directing people:

Wildfire Relief Fund
California Fire Foundation which helps firefighters and their families
UCDavis Veterinary Catastrophic Need Fund to help animal impacted by the fire
