First message in a bottle

Today’s happy dispatch starts with a playlist.

Join me at the top of this mountain is a playlist of alternative rock songs from the 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s.

Its mood: not strictly happy-happy, but more like pump-your-fist-in-the-air, imagine-yourself-on-stage-singing, hate-your-ex kind of music. But it ends with Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey.
