After work and school today, Mary and I are heading up to Alexandria to catch the Jonathan Coulton show at the Birchmere. I’m sure that for the drive up, she’ll insist on a near-constant repeat of “Code Monkey” and “Ikea”, but perhaps we might manage to work some other tunes into the mix. At that […]
