Hey Y’all ! Back about 15 years ago, I started listening to my favorite local radio station, KBOO 90.7 FM every Saturday morning from 6am to 9am. Religiously. Even if I’d been up all Friday night, I’d set my alarm to still wake up at 6am and throw in a blank cassette tape in and listen to it later. The …
Grateful Blog: Day 35: I woke up today Grateful for the beautiful sunny and unseasonably warm weather that’s continued right into the weekend. Amen for that! Wintertime in the Pacific North-wet can seem like one long funeral procession of gray days and rain that keeps my eyes trained on the ground, ever careful of slippery footing, puddles and getting my …
Grateful Blog: Day 34: I meant to post this yesterday. I guess Life Happened. Yesterday I was Grateful it was Friday. Friday’s always seem long overdue. That’s it. After working nearly 60 hours this week, Thank God it was Friday. Sometimes in life it’s easiest being Grateful for the obvious…
Grateful Blog: Day 33: I just read an article online this morning—perhaps you’ve seen it already, about an indigenous tribe that was photographed somewhere in the Amazon rainforest. It’s a bit of a sensation because they’re so infrequently seen or photographed. The article went on to mention that worldwide roughly 100 such tribes are said to exist. There’s probably some …
Grateful Blog: Day 32: I just got the call from the alarm company—the office alarm went off. Send the police? Or not? Its times like these after 3 consecutive grueling 11+ hour days that the last thing I want to do is drive back to the office to check it out. But you know, I own the company and SOMEBODY …
Grateful Blog: Day 31: This year I got a book for Christmas called ‘Life on the Working Man’s Lake: A Tour of Honeoye Now and Then’. It was a portrait of one ofNew York’s ‘Finger Lakes’:HoneoyeLake, in the country of the 5 Confederacies of the Iroquois (a governing body that has been recognized as influencing the very notions of our …
Grateful Blog: Day 30: Well hell, 30 days so far. Who knew? Last night was weird. I slept well. I didn’t find myself tossing and turning. But it was decidedly strange. We bought a new bed on Saturday—you know one of those things where you say ‘Let’s just go look but we’re NOT buying one’ moments where you find yourself …
Grateful Blog: Day 29: You ever have one of those weekends that were so busy that you forgot to relax and have a weekend? Felt yourself late Sunday night thinking about what you’d so if you could just skip work next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday? It’s easy to do, right? My wife was watching ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ tonight on …
Grateful Blog: Day 28: I’ve been thinking about ‘Luck’ all day today. After last night’s high speed near-miss on the freeway, I came home to find out I was a Semi-Finalist in the 2011 Great Lakes Songwriting Contest. http://www.greatlakessongwritingcontest.net/ Like every songwriter I know, I’d tell you right away that songwriting’s not a competition. It couldn’t be further from the …
Grateful Blog: Day 27: It’s easy to be Grateful about the big things. Tonight I was driving home, minding the speed limit (rare for me) and behaving (even rarer) when someone tried to come into my lane without looking. Suddenly sandwiched between their SUV and the giant pickup ion my right I had no where to go. For whatever instinctual …
