For your thought-provoking, “It’s time to evaluate and take action starting that new chapter of my life,” …yet weirdly-relaxing Sundays.

Note: I saw Gregory Alan Isakov in concert this past Friday at the Cat’s Cradle in Chapel Hill. It was an amazing show, with songs evoking every possible emotion one could imagine in a single set. Each member of the three-man band was extremely talented on their respective instruments AND more. Beautiful harmonies. Beautiful men. Beautiful music. What more could you ask for?

AM

You woke up late today, had 1 (or 2…okay fine it was 3) cups of coffee this afternoon at brunch. But hey, it’s after 4 p.m. and you’ve only got a few more hours left of this weekend freedom until you have to organize your thoughts (and your e-mail) for the upcoming week. Enjoy it while it lasts.
