Been A Minute…

Hey all. Sorry for the absence. It’s that time of year where I put in some vacation time and unplug, spending my time off recording music, painting, watching movies, and spinning records. Also, just attempting to rid my brain of all the toxic waste that’s left in my head thanks to working for a giant […]

Really Feeling Time Pass Lately

I’ve really been feeling that creaking of time. How it slips through the cracks, slips out the window in the middle of the night, and generally leaves without saying goodbye. One minute I was kind of struggling to stay afloat with three little kids in the evenings while my wife worked second shift; cooking, cleaning, […]

“All The Children Are Scattered”

Been feeling everything a little heavy lately. It was a nice four-day weekend, albeit we skipped out on that Van Hagar concert Friday night. My wife and I decided that neither of us wanted to stand in a field at 93 degrees for three to four hours, so we opted to just pick up our […]

Gone To The Dogs

It was another decent weekend. Weather wasn’t all that great, as by Saturday afternoon it clouded up and started raining, but overall I was with people I wanted to be with and that’s the most important part. Thursday after work I hit the roof and yard. Living in a pine tree forest we get the […]

Painting, Road Trips, Spinning Tunes, And Buzzing Amps

Not a particularly exciting weekend, but not bad either. Every Friday I go into it thinking I’m going to make the most of it. No wasting two days away from work sitting around doing nothing. But really, that’s all I want out of a weekend. I want to do nothing; no obligations, no responsibilities, and […]

The Last Few Days, In A Nutshell(A Large Nutshell)

It’s been a busy last few days. Where to begin… Last we spoke it was Valentine’s Day. My wife and I had a nice evening out. We headed to the little big town of Wabash, Indiana and enjoyed a very lovely dinner at Ninja Express. It’s a good thing we’re more concerned about the food […]

Sub-Zero Blues And Stack Of Records

We’re now well over halfway thru January, 2024. It feels like we barely got through the holidays and now we’re looking down the barrel of February. Valentines, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July,…repeat. The next thing you know I’ll be 65-years old sitting in my chair and wondering what I made with my life. A […]

50, or: 10 Years Since A Lost Time Accident

Why hello. How are you? How’s it going? It’s been a minute since I checked in here. A couple weeks, to be exact. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, what with Thanksgiving, a family-wide illness, and the big 5-0 which I turned on December 2nd. Maybe not action packed, but it’s been packed. Where […]

Cemetery Walk, Olivia Rodrigo, and Feeling The Feels

I was still feeling sore today. Not enough to stop me from being active, but enough for my brain to talk me out of being active(damn you, brain.) Still, common sense and the need for some quality sunshine prevailed over ‘Lazy John’ and his whispers of “nah, just go home”. I headed to the Beyer […]

November Walk

Not much to report. After work yesterday I got a 3 mile walk in. I hit up the Chinworth Bridge Trail, which is just a couple minutes from work, and took a very windy walk. The temps are bouncing up and down here, so the wind is to be expected I suppose. It was in […]
