Gone to the Birds

Posted in Beatles, art, birding, culture, entertainment, life, music, television, thoughts on August 7, 2008 | 5 Comments »

I’ve found a “new” song I like. It’s the theme to the Reebok commercial “Join the Migration.” The singer’s voice is gorgeous, and the song has this alluring, haunting quality.

Gratitude for the vertebra connecting skull to backbone

Posted in entertainment, humor, life, technology, television on February 26, 2008 | No Comments »

We didn’t play as much this weekend as we had hoped. Things took longer than expected, and the gremlins, pixies and leprechauns were acting up again, apparently partying far heartier than we were. They might have had a ways to go to keep up with us back in the day, but this weekend they were [...]

Fletchers — Brave Brew World

I know a lot of people who like wine. I like it, too — but sometimes shake my head at the prices involved in enjoying vino.

I’m going to go have a beer this evening with my friend Brian to celebrate the solstice. We generally get together for a pint this time of year, to note the days beginning to get longer. It’s dark early now, but getting brighter, which sounds pretty good to me.
