Bidazed and Confused.
So far on this trip, we’ve been encountering numerous bidets. Bidet-owners always remark that they don’t know how they’d Live without them, and I always sort of fear that they look at me and think “you… you are UNCLEAN – I’ll be BURNING my couch”. The toilets are all strangely warm, like they’ve been sitting…

Another Day One.
That’s what I get. That’s what I get. I’m just over 24 hours and 420 miles away from home and it’s good to be OUT, but the madness of the traffic of the Boston suburbs make me almost miss home already. Almost. We drove north yesterday, staying with an old friend and her angry dog…

Ratspike.
Between John Blanche and Ian Miller, I don’t think they ever DID decide which one was Spike. I’ve held a lot of artists and musicians as influences, inspirations – as formative forces in my Life. But I haven’t MET a lot of my heroes. I’ve always been shy. I don’t chase autographs or put myself…

Land of Confusion.
A friend’s friend has died, and it really doesn’t mean anything to me. Except it was sudden, out of the blue, and he was 6 months older than me, but he was healthy as Hell and looked ten years younger. Heart attack. I think endlessly about death recently. (okay, I’ve ALWAYS obsessed about death). About…

Debby’s Post.
I’m reprinting this from my friend Debby’s Facebook post because I want to remember it forever, and because her experience is a microcosm of so much in my Life right now. I went to my favorite watering hole today for an early dinner. Amantes has suffered from lack of clientele since two people were shot…

Full.
Thank goodness for the slow days. I got to lay in till panic woke me fully, but it’s a nothing panic. Realizing I’d left a Kit Kat in Heather’s car. Let her know before it melts. My brain isn’t stringing things together well at all right now and the Kit Kat is just the latest…

The SPARK w Heather Aubrey Lloyd
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…

SPARK #188 w The Porch Delights.
Tonight actually was a joy, but that does NOT mean I won’t be taking a break soon! I got into town early, driving in the insane Maryland sun as the temperature outside crept well into the 90s and radio meteorologists excitedly recited records breaking like broken records. I got to the SPARK and spent a…
