Also: his name was still in the air, when I ran cross country and track. I ran a 1:58 in the half mile, never under 4 for a full one. :)

RIP to Russ Solomon, a high school dropout who, in 1941, got permission to open a music section inside his father’s Sacramento drugstore and built it into Tower Records.

Local kitty, whose human father died and was taken in by a shelter I support. She was quickly diagnosed with a cancerous ear tumor.
