Charles is crazy February 26
On this here blog last Tuesday, Charles partly described how crazy he is. I highly recommend it for those who missed it; I thought it was one of our better posts ever. Maybe that’s just because I know Charles, and know that he is genuinely crazy. Not crazy in the harmful way, mind you, just in many weird little idiosyncratic ways.
My favorite idiosyncrasy is how one beer makes him so much better at playing guitar. He doesn’t need to be drunk or buzzed, nor does one beer get him drunk or buzzed. But it’s all he needs to play better. It’s like he’s Popeye and the beer is his spinach, a magical music juice.
I am in the process of trying to convince Charles to make “Charles is Crazy” a weekly series of blog posts; I picture it something like “It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means. Time for another installment of ‘Charles is Crazy!”’ If you would like to see such a column, please comment and tell us. I also encourage those of you who know Charles to share your own favorite Charles idiosyncrasy. Best one wins a free City Veins CD (oh wait…)

Hey, Charles isn’t that crazy. He’s not even the craziest person in our family!
