The studio floor is now complete! I’ll have some pictures up shortly. There’s still work to be done on putting down the quarter-round molding, but at least I can move some things down there and get ready to “evacuate” the current office for Evie’s new furniture. My knees have never …

Everything else
Listening to the beautiful new album by The Thorns, a kind of pop superband made up of Matthew Sweet, Pete Droge, and Shawn Mullins… kind of like a CSN for the 00’s. This got me thinking of my lackluster Sweet collection, so I’ve been dredging eBay for the records of …
I don’t have time to write more than a sentence or two about each of these, seen this past weekend: Die Another Day – Brosnan doing a fine job as a less perfect and more edgy Bond (again); convoluted plot is a little too thick but provides for many great …
