No Skin on our Teeth.
We’re driving home and I’m welcoming silence. I’m catching up on office work (a couple of “since _____ hasn’t responded to me, I’m copying rob” emails because I am my brother’s / sister’s / mother’s keeper) and filing files and checking math and updating income and expenses and sort of wishing I was going to…

July 9ths of the past.
Happy #throwbackthursday. I’ve basically just been nabbing any photos tagged as July 9th and throwing them to the winds of the world wide web… I have coherent photographic records by date going back to 2002.

WTF is up with ilyAIMY.com?
It’s “Pending”. It’s “In Progress”. It’s complicated. ilyAIMY.com will celebrate its 25th year in August, and over that time the hosting services I’ve used have been myriad. Not by intention, but because bigger businesses gobble up little businesses and as of earlier this year my hosting service had been purchased by one with a particularly…

The Music City Open Mic.
July 5th. How is it possible that this is my last open mic at Morsbergers till October? Somehow I piecemeal gave away my Sundays to gigs and festivals and clients and Special Events without realizing it and here we are… my last Morsbergers till October. I made a deadbeat dad joke, but I don’t feel…

Not ketchup. Get it? But I guess I could use this as an opportunity to talk about AI as well. As a sci-fi fan I’m not… entirely dissatisfied with the THING that is AI in our current timeline. I don’t mean I LIKE it per se, or don’t worry about it’s potential for abuse or…

The Fourth of July.
For the past twenty years we’ve generally been playing the day of Independence Day so we don’t have TIME to go see fireworks. When Kristen and I first started dating, we tried to find the time – I think in an effort to tell one another Stories of our Past we’d both somehow implied a…

The Music City Open Mic and a Weekend of Chaos.
Yesterday we played Annapolis’ “homegrown music festival” Eastport A’Rockin’ for the first time in twenty years. At least… I think that’s the truth and I’m sticking by it. I wonder what would’ve happened if I’d maintained a presence in Annapolis all these years. We seem to be really well-Loved there, and perhaps I’d have filled…

Delicious Ketchup.
Sometimes I wonder about doing these catchup posts, going back and just thinking “okay, these photos never found their way up, but I don’t really have a coherent story” and just posting them all together. Surely no-one else thinks the repeated pun is funny, but I amuse me. And I guess when it comes down…

The SPARK w Broommaker.
We do this every Tuesday, with or without me, at the SPARK at School of Musical Traditions (7112 Willow Ave., Takoma Park, MD). Signup before we get started at 7pm, randomized list. Tis the best free night of entertainment in Takoma Park on a Toosday in my opinion. House piano, webcast, 2 songs or 10…

The Music City Open Mic.
Heather showing up in the latter half of the night went a long way towards making this a Lovely night. She was on her way home from her family’s Father’s Day gathering and brought unto me one of my favourite things: homemade lemon bars! Especially since (once again) the kitchen at Morsbergers was a dark…
