The gang I love
Man, I didn’t realize it had been a whole week since my last post. It’s been a busy week, between working on Fedora commitments, finishing my short stint with the Lianna band, and working on the next Leah Morgan CD. Oh yeah, and the regular day job. And trying to …
We had a decent gig at The Loft on Thursday night. Unfortunately it wasn’t very well attended. The standout exceptions were (of course) some of the Old Guard, the True Believers, the Through-Thick-N-Thin Pals. You know who you are, and you are much loved and appreciated, especially when you could …
Friday night I did a gig at Bistro Europa in Alexandria, with the band for whom I’ve been doing hired-gun duty. The gig went well, but I realized how unaccustomed I’ve become to three-set shows covering the 10:00 p.m. to 1:15 a.m. (“last call”) hours. Thankfully, my old buddy caffeine …
We just returned home from a week’s vacation, blissfully Internet-free, in Maine. The place we stayed was wonderful and the sea air was just what I needed to clear my head of all the various and current claims on my time. Now to apply nose liberally to grindstone.

Everyone has been listening to and despairing at the awful news from New Orleans, where it seems as if the world has toppled over the brink of some crazy abyss. This entry is not about that situation, but rather about my good friends Christopher and Darya, who are getting married …
Karsten and I are so much alike in some ways it’s scary. On the other hand, he’s probably skinny as a rail, thanks to that healthy California lifestyle. Curse you, surfer dude! I am, however, a little worried by our mutual tendency to get bored; I hope that doesn’t bode …
The food chain that eats its own tail. To Chris’ post on bacteria-devouring virii, I say why not? After all, we already have oil-eating bacteria. What puzzles me is, why can’t we just eliminate the middleman and pass the savings on to you? Revisionism on revisions. I hate CVS. I …
My hell week at work ended on Thursday night, but I spent pretty much the whole day Friday with a couple of my friends who were attending. We went sightseeing down the Civil War Trails, visiting the battlefields of Chancellorsville, Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Courthouse, with a side trip to downtown …
