Dan WeberGrateful Blog, News

Grateful Blog: Day 68: I heard the sound this morning: The low rumble, the whirr and whine of a small engine spinning round: The neighbor’s lawn mower. It’s been coming for awhile. I saw the first Camellia bloom and the other day and today the first dandelion. Last week it snowed but this week you need to mow the lawn …

Grateful Blog: Day 65: I met a woman at her front door today and she opened the door, warmly invited me in and said ‘Consider yourself at home!’ I said ‘Thanks!’, walked in and then something deep, deep, deeeeeeeeep, DEEEEEEEEEEEEEP in the recesses of my sleepy Monday morning brain started kicking in and I reflexively started singing to myself, every …

Hey Friends… A bunch of years ago I went backpacking with my friend Nate at this place called ‘Snowgrass Flat’ up in the Goat Rocks Wilderness.

Grateful Blog: Day 63: I stopped what I was doing to eat a little lunch today and flipped on the TV. Saturday afternoon.

Grateful Blog: Day 62: I was just talking to a friend a minute ago when I realized I had 11 minutes to get my blog done. That’s how it works sometimes. It reminded me of this time I was in Austin, dancing with a young lady at the Continental Club and while doing so she grabbed y hat off my …

Dan WeberGrateful Blog, News

Grateful Blog: Day 61: Woke up to a layer of snow on theRose Citythat fell last night. Snow’s pretty silly here. Everyone goes crazy. The media blows it out of proportion with non-stop ‘Snowmageddon’ coverage. People blow off work when there’s 2 inches on the ground. Kids make snowmen and when they’re done the lawn is green again because they …

Dan WeberGrateful Blog, News

Grateful Blog: Day 58: I was still sick today, stuck inside listening to the radio and there was a raging debate on the school shooting inOhioand just what drives kids to do that sort of thing. I don’t know. It’s really saddening. And I have nothing to offer because it’s baffling to me and frankly I never had kids so …
