Long Weekend, Under The Weather, Sad Dad Blues

Decided at the beginning of last week that I was going to treat myself to a four-day weekend. Work hasn’t been very busy, so it seemed like an opportune time to take a Thursday and Friday off and give my brain a break from the 9 to 5. I’d been itching to dig into some […]

Out With False Fall…In With Real Fall

Friday is here, finally. And with it comes the true beginning of fall weather. We’ve had a few days here and there of mild temps -including upper 50s and low 60s for highs- but those temps were short-lived. We’d head back up into the upper 70s and 80s with all the humidity you could ever […]

September Rolls…Cold Weather Break…License To Feel Ill…ETC

It’s been pretty mild temperature-wise here. The first part of September is giving us the gift of highs in the 60s/low 70s, and at night we’re hitting below 50 degrees. That’s…amore. We’re nearly 10 days into September and that train keeps rolling. Kids have been in school since mid August around here and that just […]

October Is Here, Spinning Spooky Scores, Happy Birthday Mr. Pooch McGooch…And New Music Soon

Well it’s been a really, really, really long and hot summer. I’ve never been one to resent hot days, but apparently at 50-years old I’ve become that person. I don’t care if it’s a dry heat or a humid heat, it’s not my friend. I’m sure that once we hit that first single digit day […]

Too Damn Hot, Van HaGar Cometh, Ready For Fall

We’ve been in the midst of a late summer heat wave and I’m not liking it. Tuesday was a nearly all-time record high around here, with the heat index getting to 105 degrees. Listen, if I wanted to fry my brain walking to and from my car I’d live in Arizona, Louisiana, or Florida. As […]

New Songs For Those Night Thrills

Before you could say “Please, no more music” I’m here dropping new music. Yes, I’m currently sitting on a back log of new music I recorded starting in October. If you’re paying attention I released a 4-song EP of instrumental music just a couple weeks ago, but those were all a year’s worth of music […]

A Weekend In Photos

It was the perfect fall weekend. Despite Friday getting near 80 degrees and me turning the A/C on after work because the house was near 75 degrees inside(neighbors were burning so I had to close all the windows), by Saturday morning the cold air moved in. It was blue skies, chilled air, and a sense […]

October

Fall was making its presence known even before this past Sunday, October 1st. About a week and a half ago I noticed pine needles beginning to cover the driveway, then the front yard. For me, growing up in a pine woods there was no surer sign of fall than pine needles falling. Even more than […]

Summer’s Almost Gone(rejoice)

I’m not a summer person. I enjoy moments of it; individual afternoons, or perhaps a warm Saturday afternoon walk with my wife in town talking about her job. Or grabbing tomatoes and jalapenos from the farmer’s stand for fresh salsa. Farmer’s stands, that’s one of the few reasons I enjoy summer. Nothing better that fresh […]

Disintegration

Another season begins to wind down. Another set of ups and downs, highs and lows, “down low you’re too slows”. I’m not sure I’ve ever been a summer kind of guy so I’m okay with the endless summer coming to an end. I sweat too easily and don’t look all that good shirtless mowing the […]
