Making a Spotify playlist takes 15 mins;

Making a mixtape just right took all night. (Which song goes first?)

Skimming through that catalog, I'd forgotten that Casey was a guest star on Hawaii Five-0:

HAWAII FIVE-0: LETTERS, CALL SHEET, AND PLANE TICKET

If memory serves, he was the owner of a store that sold radios that had drugs smuggled in them, or something like that. (I watched most of the original shows on MeTV and/or DVDs a few years back)

Always enjoyed the original series, and the array of guest stars you could try to spot. And the fact that all of the cops wore three-piece suits in the heat and humidity of Oahu.

Among the first things they changed in the reboot.
