You Spin Me Right 'Round, Like A....Record Store Day! 🎧

Columbus Navigator Logo

Happy Friday y'all. We made it! Tracie here. 

When I was younger, I had a little pink record player. I'm sure it wasn't standard issue, and I probably couldn't have played any real vinyl on it.  In fact, it only came with one "album" and it was "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window." 🎤

Is vinyl making a comeback, or did it ever really go away? Either way, this weekend you can celebrate "Record Store Day," and we've got a list of places to check out.  As for me, I'll be crossing my fingers to find some cassette tape deals 🎵. 

Friday Weather 🌡Sunny ⛅ with a high of 53 today. Weekend looks UH-mazing, Clear with highs in the low 60's. 🌄

Longread... Scratch that. Longwatch. 

Procrastination is something that everyone- from college students to CEOs, has experienced. Tim Urban is no exception. It’s a bad habit he just can’t shake, waiting until the very last minute to get things done. 

Instead of a long read, let us (potentially) contribute to your Friday procrastination by offering up this funny and inspiring TED Talk about the reality of procrastination, and how we can kick the habit. Don’t worry, these will be 14 minutes well-spent. TED Talks: Inside The Mind Of A Master Procrastinator
