Yesterday was my 5 month anniversary of non-smokage. Yay for that. My lungs feel good. I even had a dream that I was in a situation where for some reason I was allowed to smoke again, and I just held a pack and pretended I still did without ever...

Happy Birthday Eli!

First order of business- a warm and hearty welcome to a new baby boy born to my buddies Lindsay and Isiah. He couldn’t have chosen a better family, he’ll have loads of fun. I hear he was a whopping 9 pounds. He meant business in there. Anyway, I’m excited...

You are the sunshine of my life…

During these cold (unpredictable due to the fact that we are killing the planet) months, if the gray starts gettin ya down, you must think on sunnier things- like cantalope and flowers and nectarines. A little Stevie Wonder is good if you need a quick fix. I also find...

Le Dog rocks my world.

Yet another successful encounter with the soup that will someday save the whole world.

Tonight I’m going to see a free show at the Ark. Ragbirds are playing- it’s a benefit for Food Gatherers, so I just have to collect some canned goods and bring em and then rock...

A flibbertyjibbit

I keep finding myself in these situations where I’m forced to grow in some way. Each day presents me with new opportunities, and each day I discover new things about myself, my life, my friends, etc. I’ve also recently been working on embracing simplicity, humanity,...

Time to cross the big road.

I’ve been thinking about what Thanksgiving really means. I like the food and family, but I don’t like the thought that we are celebrating the union of two groups of people that resulted in one group becoming practically extinct. Ick. So I did some reading and found that...
