Well, it seems that events have conspired to thwart my November daily posting goals. Friday, during my first day back at work after bronchitis, I started to have sharp abdominal pains. I knew what it was right away, because it’s just not something you forget easily. And I saw it all playing out just like […]

Right now my energy for organizing freecycle or going to the thrift store is nil, so I looked around the home office here and found a mess of clutter, like, can’t even access the shelves in here clutter. It’s a big job but for a start: A tote bag a friend made me in 1995 […]

It’s probably no surprise at all that in the past week I have been watching more TV than anyone ever should. In case you were wondering, it is really hard on the soul. Unfortunately the world of books hasn’t been doing me any more favors, and it’s been hard to even hold a book up, […]

Well, it’s been a really challenging day here in sicksville in front of the TV. Not only have I been laid low, now Jack is percolating with ick on the couch. We both have prescriptions from our respective docs and Christie, saint that she is, dropped off potato soup and a giant stack of DVDs. […]

Since it’s like a spring day, right now I’m airing out the house. I absolutely had to get some fresh air myself, so I also took Jack on a forced march through the neighborhood to get some sun and hopefully remind my body that it has a purpose other than racking with coughs. I always […]

Well, I’ve joined the ranks of the sick. I thought it was just residual discomfort from being in a smokey bar, but no. It’s some kind of ick. I was supposed to be in Norfolk meeting Ian for the first time, but since Genie & fam are shrouded in darkness and apparently it’s my turn […]

I was pretty impressed with the total variety show that Heathenfest was. The Paganfest shows have been more consistent, maybe a little doomy here and a little more folky there. What you get when you follow the intense military precision and violent rage of Vreid with happy Scotsmen Alestorm and then follow that up with […]

Probably just about everyone reading this is of the right generation to have been witness to the prevalence of the cassette tape. By the time I was choosing and procuring my own music, cassettes were in their peak of production. Of course, now the nostalgia market has images of the cassette on t-shirts, pillows, purses, […]

In honor of the women and men who have served; this video for “Home Again” from Queensryche’s album American Soldier – a concept album created from interviews with veterans. If you want to help a cause that helps veterans, check out Vets Rock: they are raffling a Gibson Joan Jett Signature Series SG guitar (want!) […]
