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 …
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…
