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. I like it so much I’m almost ready to buy one of their t-shirts. It begins with men looking slowly skyward and includes bird imagery; [...]

Bottling beer, Moody Blues, and patiently waiting to celebrate
Posted in beer, culture, life, music, politics, predictions on March 14, 2008 | 38 Comments »
My friend Dave came over to help me bottle this winter’s lager. It was good to catch up, and he had the amusing news that he had been to a rock concert for the first time in, well, years. The Moody Blues were in town. Yup, dinosaur rock. Someone had canceled in the 11th hour, [...]

“And I Couldn’t Believe My Luck”
Posted in Beatles, art, culture, entertainment, life, love, music, thoughts, top of the world on September 21, 2007 | 13 Comments »
A few months back I wrote about the good life. No, more than the good life, the fantastic life, top of the world, and how it might be enjoyed in Manhattan mid 20th century, by a star having life by the tail, living in tall cotton or deep clover.
That was a joie de vivre forged [...]
Hitting the long and winded road

A busy day coming here in the Ombudshold Saturday morning; we’ve got a beach cleanup going on Saturday morning (including cleaning up the beach by our morning boatramp-to-Hornet-museum dogwalk). Then we’re getting out of town, which means we’ll probably miss the Peanut Butter Jam Festival this weekend (yes, Skippy concocted their first batch of the [...]
Finding some peace amid the collapse

The I35W bridge collapsed just over 40 days ago, and today is the 9/11 anniversary.

Posted in art, culture, entertainment, life, music, thoughts on July 22, 2007 | 17 Comments »
Have you ever headed straight somewhere and ended up making lots of stops first? That’s what last post was like. It reminded me of a girlfriend I had once who wanted to go clothes shopping for me, but first she wanted in to stop at this dress shop then that shoe store and then another [...]
The Cult of the New

Among the problems with a Panasonic cassette player microphone held by hand to the speaker of a portable radio is that you don’t know when to start recording until you hear the first chords of a song you like.
