For the Love of Music

30 some years ago I lived in San Diego County (El Cajon, California).  In 2017, the wife & I took a two week trip out West without any reservations or schedule.  While we were out and about, we decided to hit up San Diego.  They have the best Mexican food in the country.  So we made it our mission to watch the sunset on the West coast, eat tacos for breakfast and grab a 91X t-shirt.  91X is an independent radio station that specializes in Alternative music.  

We watched the sunset, and hit up a taco shop as soon as we arrived in San Diego.  Then it went all downhill from there.  We were unable to find any 91X apparel; apparently they discontinued selling such stuff, and I had to settle for an El Cajon Harley shirt.



I love San Diego and to this day I listen to 91X on my computer.  Well finally, 91X began selling clothing again.   On Christmas day I ordered a 91X shirt and it arrived on New Year’s Eve.  But I was bummed because I had just done my laundry and I refuse to wear anything that hasn’t been washed first.  
The next morning, as soon as I awoke, I threw that shirt in the washer, but then I realized that the Buckeyes were playing in the Rose Bowl, and there was no way I was going to wear any other shirt that day other than an Ohio State t.  So finally, tomorrow arrives and I put my new 91X shirt on, and I swear to God I feel like Batman. 
Maybe it’s a sign of things to come in the New Year.  Happy New Year to all – here’s to making dreams reality!
