XM Music Lab has a split personality. Sometimes, it plays good ole progressive rock (Yes, Genesis, and the like). Othertimes, it plays “jam bands” like Phish.

My tastes lean strongly towards the old stuff. So my reaction to this channel varied a lot through the day — when it was good, it was very, very good, but when it was bad, it was barely OK.

I’ll be back here, but how long I stay on any visit will depend very much on what mode the playlist is in at that instant.

Shabbat Shalom!

But the beginning of that famous newscast is even more relevant and welcome today:

“Big light in sky slated to appear in east!”

Yes, there was actually some sun visible on my way to work, for the first time in days. Maybe it’ll be possible to get outside at lunchtime for some walking — I tried yesterday, but decided I wasn’t really dressed for a swim and came back into the building. Walking the halls just isn’t the same thing.
