Not a ton of action around here lately – is the Midwest seasonal depression kicking in already?  Could be time to pack the bags and fly south.  Either that, or settle in for the long haul and pray that the winter isn’t as cold as summer was.

In music news, I’m signing up for piano lessons.  Yes, get excited, I’m sure I’ll be composing masterpieces in a few weeks.  I figured I’d post a song with some most excellent piano.  Nina Simone’s Sinnerman – its been featured in everything, sampled all over the place – I’m sure you’ll recognize it.  Superfresh, this is not (1965 release).  That being said, the clip below cemented it into my memory.  (Spoiler alert if you haven’t seen the Thomas Crown Affair)
