This is what the majority of people who visit this blog come here looking for. Obviously they aren't finding it.

It seems that My Thermos is broken. The glass insulation is cracked. I guess it still kind of works but everything is only luke-warm, not the piping hot it should be.

So I've decided to put it down on a shelf in the basement (because that is what one does with a broken thermos.) Here it will sit and gather dust.

I thought about just throwing it away but am not really ready to do that. This old thermos and I have been through a lot together, some 400 entries over 3 years.

But I'm not giving up entirely, I've decided to start anew - not with another thermos, but with a Sensory Dispensary. It's mostly going to be the same thing, a place for me to share the cool stuff that I find in my daily adventures. It will be about music, and art, and video, and food, and a lot of other interesting things. I hope to share more often, quick pics and videos and such as I find them.

I'll also likely cherry pick some of the better content from here and transfer it over - probably in little bursts so that new folks will have a chance to see it and discover it.

If you've been a reader of My Thermos, I thank you and encourage you to head over to the new site and subscribe to me over there. If you've linked to this site on your blog, I encourage you to update those to point over to the Sensory Dispensary .

I'm still tidying things up over there so please pardon the dust - it's mostly complete but expect some minor tweaks over the next couple of weeks.

And with that, I'm putting the lid on this thing.

Cheers!

SB

Digging deep with some of the choices it's a pretty good sampler. Would have liked to have seen more of Jeremy Spencer but if nothing else it shows the stellar talent this band has always had on guitar.

And where is Bob Welch?
