John at empty Miller Park, weeks before opening day <\/p><\/div>\n

John went down to Iowa City last night to see Every Time I Die<\/a> and I haven’t heard from him yet, though I did text him his birthday song<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I feel funny that I’m not making food – last year I over-nighted brownies to his school<\/a>, because I knew he was in the studio printing up stuff for his senior show. Looks like last year I made salted caramel tart<\/a> – but not till a bit after his birthday.

If he was here this morning, I’d make waffles<\/a> and bacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
