Well, I’m out again this weekend. Taking the weekend off and going to Boothbay Harbor for the weekend. Not sure about WiFi access where we’re staying, so this may go out early, or this may go out very late. It’ll be a step back in time in Boothbay Harbor, I predict. The hotel has made…

It’s mid-week – just finished with the recycling this morning (recycling is important). Time for some jazz, so I’ve put together a jazzcast for today. My voice is very froggy today – I’ve got to improve my speaking skills – man I sound bad today – sorry. Well, I’ll skip over the formalities and just…

Went to see Chris Isaak last night. He was in great form, singing many great songs that spanned his career. It’s nice to see someone perform with a tight band (a couple of the band members had been with him over 30 years), and their set was pretty flawless. I have to say that the…

So, I’m forced up early today, to take of something “before there’s traffic”. After we’re done our morning delivery, we eat breakfast and Kate starts complaining that it’s too early, an that no stores are open. I don’t think she understands the concept of no traffic = no stores being open. I think we could…

1977 – a pretty great year for music. Punk was breaking out big time, and the groups that punk railed against also put out memorable albums. Let’s start with Rumours by Fleetwood Mac – an album of songs that everyone seems to know, and was huge, Huge, HUGE. Steve Miller cemented his reputation that year…

Last night the neighbors had a backyard party. Their backyard is next to ours, and my bedroom window opens out toward their backyard. When I went to bed at 10:00 PM, it was going strong. At 2:00 AM there were still some people talking and laughing. Although I occasionally will be up late having fun,…

I’m 57 years old – is that old? I still don’t feel old – I’m a little creakier than I was, but I don’t feel old. Yesterday my knee started acting up – it’s stiff and there’s a dull pain in the old kneecap. It’s probably nothing – it’s happened before. Still, it’s the first…

Happy New Year’s Day! We made it, but who knows to what we’ve made. I’m not one to make resolutions – it’s one less disappointment when a resolution goes unfulfilled. I have general goals, which I also don’t end up doing, but I always try to be nicer to people (maybe as nice – how…

My computer died on Monday (before Prince, Michelle McNamara, Lonnie Mack, and Richard Lyons (Negativland) died – this has got to stop). It was a good, solid computer that gave me no trouble until it died suddenly. We tried to save it, but the shop I took it to couldn’t fix it, either. I’ll be…

It’s Easter Sunday, did you know that? It’s one of the earliest days Easter can be on. Rarely does Easter fall in March – it won’t be in March again until 2024.The 22nd is actually the earliest it can be, but that won’t happen for a long time (the year will be 2285 – I…
