Happy Blogaversary to me… Us! I started this blog as a means to improve my spelling and writing skills as I was beginning my journey to become a credentialed teacher. I wanted to improve my vocabulary. My typing skills honestly absolutely sucked nine years ago. I got my credential 5 years ago, but so far, […]
I never went into the military. They courted me as I was getting done with high school. But then, it was the cold war, and I lived in a military town. They courted everyone. I didn’t join because I figured I wouldn’t get in anyway due to my poor eyesight. I also had no self […]
A friend of mine recently got into a fender bender…. With a light post in a deserted parking lot. I don’t know if I can post his story yet, but it’s pretty funny and innocent… And kind of tragic that a newish car can be so damaged by a 5 mph collision. But, when the […]
Where have all the celebrities gone Long time passing…
For no reason, except it’s fun to predict things and see if it comes true, I predict that this winter is going to be very wet and very cold around these parts. I base my prediction on nothing other than the fact that I’d like like it to be so.

Lets just say that having […]

So, I’m in the process of launching a new company call Acoustic Frames. I’ve been building a few prototypes to see what works and what doesn’t. The first one I built a few weeks ago was not very good. This new one featured below is the second prototype. It turned out much better. There are […]
NOTE – I’m gay, so I have no idea if this is true! At one gig, many many (juni) moons ago, a chick did try to pick me up first, before all the other members of the band. After I rebuffed her advances, she then went for the guitarist. I was her first choice…. […]
This last week marked twenty years of a life cheated out of the experience of living. Twenty years ago, my wonderful friend Robert Paul Johnson was murdered, most likely bashed to death because he was gay. I never go to tell him, but I loved this guy. He was everything that was right in the […]
