Just looking forward this time

 ”Rows of lights in a circle of steel
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
High windows flickerin’ down through the snow
A time you know
Sights and sounds of the people goin’ ’round
Everybody’s in step with the season”
So, yesterday was my birthday. I am now 40 years old. Allow me just a moment to say [...]

Looking back and looking forward

“I wished on the seven sisters,
Bring to me wisdom of age,
All that’s locked within the book of secrets,
I longed for the knowledge of the sage…”
It is now 10:04 P.M., and it is time to blog. Where to begin? Where to begin, indeed. I think I’ll skip the recap of the last three days of the [...]

Profane?

“Neon lights, A Nobel Prize
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don’t have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I’m the smiling face on your T.V.
I’m the Cult of Personality
I exploit you still you love me”
Let’s talk about words tonight, shall we? Specifically, let’s talk about profanity? Doesn’t [...]

“‘Cause I’ve got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away, and I’ll be OK.
And I’m not big on social graces
Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis
So I’ve got friends… in low places!”
Searching for inspiration can be a truly frustrating experience. For example, before writing the previous [...]

A thoroughly enjoyable weekend

“driving down the interstate,
running several hours late”
Christmas Revel this past weekend was the first Barony of Axemore event I’ve ever had the pleasure to attend. I can say with great deal of confidence it will not be the last. I had a great time. In many ways it was a wonderful event. What [...]

Just another Tuesday….

 ”Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don’t want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can’t change  time”
Well, another day is at an end, and that means it’s time to blog. Unfortunately, I once again don’t seem to have a great deal to blog [...]

Questions without answers….yet

“Over the mountain take me across the sky
Something in my vision, something deep inside
Where did I wander, where d’ya think I wandered to
I’ve seen life’s magic astral plane I travel through.”
I don’t really have anything stunning to comment on tonight, so instead of giving you a boring recap of truly, mind-numbingly boring day, I’ll [...]

The Good End to a Good Week

“I’ve gone by the point of carin’
Some old bed I’ll soon be sharin’
I got one more silver dollar
I ain’t gonna let ‘em catch me
No I ain’t gonna let ‘em catch
A midnight rider.”
What a wonderful day. A day that ends a thoroughly enjoyable week. Can’t ask for more of a Saturday than that, can you? I [...]
