Heather Knows.
So Heather wrote a song that said everything that I tried to say to one of her exes once… and everything I’ve tried to say to my wife… and an awful lot of what I’ve tried to say to myself over the years. Her tune “If We Came Too Late” is hitting me hard right…

Ketchup.
Toes are exhausted. Ready for one last day at SERFA before the long drive home from Montreat, NC. Saturday morning we took it kind of easy, crossing the swollen creek to get Mexican food for breakfast before our last day at SERFA. Oh my. At SERFA – taking a quickie course in Texas Blues licks…

SERFA in Brief.
One of the more interesting displays at SERFA in Montreat, NC. Leave behinds and fliers at SERFA 2018. There simply wasn’t time to write at SERFA – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We weren’t able to attend the FULL conference but did a great time of maximizing our time there – and…

Why I Don’t Sleep.
Sigh – man, I’m just not in the mood. Heather’s been very sick and sounds like she’s coughing up bricks, Kristen thinks she’s coming down with something, which – if it’s what Heather’s had – means she’s going to be miserable. At the moment I’m holding my ground and simply can’t afford to get sick…

Going to SERFAaaa ohhhhhoohhhh…. YEAH!
While in Kennett Square, PA on the way back from Longwood Gardens I bought my wife about 2 pounds of mushrooms. I ate about half of the first pound… and then she made Wife Soop! Helpfully labeled, I encountered this… uhm… whatchacallit… oblong… reddish… thingie on the way back from Teavolve Monday night. Wending our…

Air Dry.
Band practice. Retaining edge. Or at least… beating my friends into submission. Orrr… at least… giving everyone a place and a time and practicing getting there! Yesterday Kristen took her mom and I to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. We’ve been going there semi-regularly, managing a couple of Christmas trips and one sort of……

It was all so long ago…
April 21st was a long, long day. I was setting up sound at Takoma Park’s Earth Day celebration by 10am. No problem. Running sound for SongRise DC by noon… no problem! Running ilyAIMY by 12.30 and breaking everything down and on our way out of town by 1…. To race to Ellicott City and load-in…

Driving Driving.
I’m so very grateful that Heather likes driving. There was a time long ago when I really enjoyed the physical act of it – I think – but I guess it’d be more true to say that I’ve always Loved the freedom and possibility of it. My old Volkswagon certainly had a wonderful physicality to…

Leaning on the Wall.
I’ve been thinking about downtime. Which isn’t a bad way to spend some of my downtime. I read once that wasted time isn’t wasted it if you enjoyed wasting it. Killing time is maybe bad, wasting time isn’t wasted, downtime will help you stay up when the time comes. Paanda. I leaned against a 7…
