Do you remember Creedence Clearwater Revival? Have you heard “Looking Out My Backdoor“? I’ve been reminded of the song recently, while out on our back porch.

Battle of the High School Marching Bands
Posted in entertainment, music, photography, walking on May 30, 2009 | 9 Comments »
We live on a very wide street; counting the parking lanes, it’s seven lanes wide. It’s so wide that, each May, it’s used for a high school marching band competition.
Better shared than in private?

Does music seem better on the radio than when played on your own personal sound system?
Gone to the Birds

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

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
Posted in commute, life, music, thoughts, travel, walking, writing on September 11, 2007 | 9 Comments »
The I35W bridge collapsed just over 40 days ago, and today is the 9/11 anniversary.
