My girl. She's sooo cute. We've had a nice morning so far. We've played blocks and had a kazoo duet jam. It was rockin'. I'm really tired though.

Blah.

Playlist for last show

Playlist to follow tomorrow. I need to go to sleep.

Thanks to everyone who called and to Courtney and Dominica for hanging out with me.

-- L O V E --

Last episode!!!!

My last episode of Free Things Are Cool will air in 24 hours. I'm nervous. I've sort of been preparing but I'm so overwhelmed by the concept of a last show that I'm not sure how I'm gonna hone it down to something concise. I need sleep. I'm so tired. That's why I'm quitting. I get up by 5 am these days and a 9 to 11 pm show is ridiculous on that schedule.

Thirteen years of having a regular show on KAOS is enough, I think.

Wish me luck.

And listen, okay?
Its my last Ego-Tango.

And so it goes...

This was the penultimate Free Things Are Cool for me. Wednesday May 24th is going to be my last show. I can't do it anymore... I need my sleep and with Mindy and me both working full time I'm gonna have to have less time for sleep even without the radio show. No can do. Thirteen years is enough. Maybe I'll still sub Martha's show sometimes, but these regular shows are killing me.

Thanks to everyone for listening. Maybe I'll start doing a podcast or something if there seems to be interest. I dunno... I'm busy.

love,
Brooks
