So, I miss things around here. Blogging is far more than an electronic journal for me – it’s a community. I post, but I also read – and with that reading, I comment, and I start up conversations, and that gives me more ideas for what to post. When blogging is at its best, it’s… Continue reading Where I miss my blogging

Where updates come in the form of bullet points
I remember, in the 8th grade, my English teacher mentioning that she always found it funny when kids said that they were “too busy” to do their homework. It wasn’t that kids didn’t get busy, she contended, but that truly busy people figured out how to get everything done. I’m finding that I’m spending a… Continue reading Where updates come in the form of bullet points
Where I introduce my musical
It’s not a secret to many that I’ve been working on a musical . . . while it’s still in the infancy stages, I figure if I give an intro here, well, other people will know about it, and if other people know about it, maybe I’ll be enticed to work on it. So here… Continue reading Where I introduce my musical
Where I try to make bullet points the new black
I have absolutely no idea why people are looking to replace black, ever. But I also have no idea why it’s frowned upon to wear white shoes, or pants or undergarments, or hats, after flag day. I’m very particular about my grammar, word choice, and punctuation. For the most part, this makes me a better… Continue reading Where I try to make bullet points the new black

Where I share my holiday play list
I’m certain that it’s not really a surprise to any of y’all that I enjoy music . . . and Christmas music falls into that realm. I won’t listen before December, but I love the mix of sincere & cheesy. Years ago, I started making my holiday playlist, with a few simple rules: any artist… Continue reading Where I share my holiday play list
Where stream of consciousness Tuesday makes a repeat performance
I can’t raise my left-arm above my head without wincing. So I should just stop trying to do that. We went out to dinner with another couple last night, there were no kids present. After the normal pleasantries & talk of our jobs, we talked about Doctor Who, and Song of Ice & Fire .… Continue reading Where stream of consciousness Tuesday makes a repeat performance
Where I think about life as a professional musician
In college, I made a decision . . . I would not pursue a life as a musician, and instead, take the more-reliable income of an engineer. And, for the most part, this is a choice that I’ve been happy with. But, those of you who follow me closely might realize that music is finding… Continue reading Where I think about life as a professional musician
Where I remember a dear friend
Honestly, the name was Mrs. Skewers’s idea. I started playing ‘cello in the 3rd grade, and she insisted that every instrument must be named. But I can’t, for the life of me, remember my ‘cello’s name. What I do remember is Mrs. Skweres, looking at me, exasperatedly, after I had missed yet another ‘cello lesson.… Continue reading Where I remember a dear friend
Where Angela runs around these here parts while listening to her husband’s playlist
I am on vacation — and as a series of quasi-coherent posts about how wonderful my family is, and how beautiful the beach is, and how drunk I might be at a time that would normally be a completely inappropriate time for me to be drunk might not go over all that well, I have… Continue reading Where Angela runs around these here parts while listening to her husband’s playlist
