I‘ve mentioned before that I had planned to tour a bit this summer. One of my Twooker1 friends suggested I do a “trial tour” first to see how things go, before committing to spending all summer on the road. So, with that in mind, I am doing LA and Vegas for a few days at [...]

A subject came up in a discussion I was having on Twitter today.
