I’ve a mind to write a bit again, but for now, here’s a song I heard as I was driving today that I wanted to share. Amerika v 6.0 by Steve Earle Look at ya Yeah, take a look in the mirror now tell me what you see Another satisfied customer in the front of the line…

A Satisfied Mind

My birthday is coming up (Friday). My friend, Robt, posted a link to a song by Jeff Buckley on Facebook and mentioned me because Buckley has been a muse to me on a few occasions. His album, Grace, is sublime and was the inspiration for the name of the house concert I founded which also…

Mamma Mia!

This year I decided to subscribe to the Broadway season of shows at my local regional theatre here in La Mirada. At the end of September, I saw “Clue,” which was excellent. Tonight, I saw “Mamma Mia!” and it made me so happy! What a fun show! I had only ever seen the movie, which…

National Poetry Month – Day 6

Here’s something a little different. I went to an open mic jam circle type thing on Zoom a couple weeks ago. The hostess features an artist every week. Folks can play a cover tune or something inspired by the artist or whatever. The artist that week was Leonard Cohen, so I read my poem “The…

oops! and today so far

I completely forgot to post yesterday. I realized it around 11:51 pm. I figured I’d do two posts today, but I don’t think that will happen. Oh well, if the NaBloPoMo police come to get me, you know why 🙂 Yesterday I played tennis in the morning fog which was pretty nice actually since there…

Fall Back Eve

Hooray, two days in a row! We “fall back” time-wise tomorrow. No one really likes it to be dark at 5 pm, but that’s what’s going to happen! So yesterday, I updated you on my October and said that Mom & I were going to see Steve Poltz. We did, and it was fun! I…

Day 14 – Ann Arbor

Shortly before the kids went off to school, I made my way downstairs at Laurel’s house to see the fairly typical morning at her house. Then, Laurel & I had coffee and chatted. I took a shower, then we left for breakfast at Anna’s House which was really good. It wasn’t raining yet, so we…
