Grateful Blog: Day 45: There’s a lot to be Grateful for on Valentines Day. But today it wasn’t the obvious. I was driving home earlier past the high school, a cold and rainy day when I saw a young girl in a short skirt and heels and no coat walking with who I could only assume was her boyfriend. She …
Grateful Blog: Day 44: I always hated it when someone bought clothes for me. Didn’t really matter who. I felt obligated to wear it and yet likely never would. So maybe 5-6 years ago we had dinner with our friends Scott and Susan for my birthday. They gave me a green polar fleece sweater. Predictably I didn’t wear it much …
Grateful Blog: Day 43: I saw someone today who a year or so ago went viral and posted nasty stuff about me online. Pretty much every chance they got. I don’t know why and honestly really tried not to think about it. It was weird, like having a stalker but one who hated you. The whole thing was surreal. Friends …
Grateful Blog: Day 42: Tonight I went and saw Gretchen Peters and Martyn Joseph at the AlbertaRoseTheaterhere inPortland. It was a church back in the day, that’s been converted back into a nice, intimate theater. The sound was great, the staff super nice, and the music was fabulous. Gretchen Peters swore we’d met before and I honestly felt that way …
Grateful Blog: Day 41: Yesterday the government passed another measure to stem the tide of the real estate crisis. By my count this was at least he 3rd such measure. I have my own opinions about the wisdom of the government trying to fix this. Unfortunately I don’t think the 3rd time will be the charm. In a twist of …
Grateful Blog: Day 40: (This is yesterday’s blog for the 9th) Day 40 of the blog…whoa…I can’t really believe it’s gone on this long. 40 Days. 40 Nights. This is sort of my ‘new’ testament as it were. I didn’t so much miss yesterday as I ran out of hours. It happens. There was still a lot to be Grateful …
Grateful Blog: Day 39: It was a bit of cold rainy day here. One of those early February ‘I just want to get through today’ types of days. A proverbial Wednesday–more of the same as it were. So coming home, exhausted, not wanting to cook, I found some homemade leftover navy bean and ham soup that Diane made the other …
Grateful Blog: Day 38. I was up at 4:30am yesterday to play on the air at 90.7 KBOO FM. It was an amazing experience. Driving into the show in the dark car I heard ‘Take the Central GeorgiaHome’ to open the show, the first time I’ve heard one of my songs on the radio while I was driving. It was …
Grateful Blog: Day 37. This is yesterday’s blog for the 6th…Yesterday there was aLOT to Grateful for. Last night when I finally got off work around 6pm, after being up at 4:30am to do the radio show, and then working 10 hours, I was fairly punchy and bleary eyed. I got in the car, which I usually back in to …
Grateful Blog: Day 36. My Oldest Brother Mike turned 50 today…whoa, that happened fast. I could swear we were just kids a minute ago. It’d be a hot summer day but our swimming pool was in the shade of 2 enormous locust trees and so Mike, who’s always gone by the nickname Zeb since the 7th grade, would run laps …
