Over my cereal this morning, I read an interesting Rolling Stone rundown of faces from the music biz we've seen less and less of over the years. Citing Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett as the ultimate musical recluse, RS ranks each of the names on their list on the "Barrett Scale." It's an interesting assortment. Don't let the fact that it's a slideshow or that it begins with Billy Joel scare you off!

Well, I took this other job because the deal was if I took that job, it might lead to another job somewhere nice and sunny.
But after about a year and a half, the company that I worked for decided to make a bunch of jobs go away, including mine.
So I drifted. West, more or less, and south. To somewhere sunny. With mountains and deserts and such.
That's the easy part to explain. How I got back here is beyond explanation, really.
In the last three or so years I've accumulated two jobs, a beautiful lady, and a dog. That's why I don't do "Get a Life Trivia" anymore. I finally got a life.
Anyway, it's good to be back!

Old Oak vs. New Oak: A Comparison
I know I've been back for almost as long as I was gone, but it's worth noting that many things changed during my absence.
The Old Oak would stay out at bars until after midnight, then stay up watching movies until around... uh... 4:20. Dude.
The New Oak is in bed before 11 because he has this job, plus another job, plus school.
The Old Oak guzzled down many bottles of watery, mass-produced suds.
The New Oak prefers to savor a nice microbrewed pint of stout, porter, or ale.
The Old Oak listened to psychedelic music and went hiking.
The New Oak listens to death metal and hits the gym and the bike trail. (The Old Oak weighed considerably more than the New Oak.)
The Old Oak was known to chase beautiful, funny, intelligent, somewhat dangerous women.
The New Oak caught the most beautiful, funny, intelligent, dangerous one of all and married her.
The Old Oak liked Zeppelin and Floyd and AC/DC and was honored to be a part of Madison's #1 rock station.
The New Oak, at least in that respect, is exactly the same.
