Always glad to see the work-week over and done with. The people I work with are, by and large, a good bunch of mixed nuts, a diverse and incongruous group of folk, and I get paid okay--well, it still seems like a lot to a musician-who-had-to-finally-g...

It was 4th or 5th grade. Hay-Edwards Grade School, 1-6. I do remember that we were in the 456 building, the Edwards bldg. Art class. We were supposed to bring our art supplies in a shoebox. Don't remember just why, but I had my artstuff in a hatbox. I thi...

Beyond the civic courtesy of recycling, I've never been a particularly ecology-minded individual. But this is Earth Day, so it seemed worth a mention. Actually last Friday was more of a day of note(okay, to me and a few other dissolute types)in that it...

Too bad they can't predict the weather week-by-week a year at a time. Or even a month at a time. That way you could plan your vacation based on the nice week(which of course poses the potential problem of everybody wanting the nice week--which of course...

The weather could be a hell of a lot nicer for a vacation week. It's all rainy and windy here, totally overcast, plenty of sunlight but no sunshine--Nature's unsmiling face.. But then it could be a whole lot worse. The house is still standing, and ev...

Damn, something about having time off that makes you act like a kid with his parents gone for the evening. You can smoke cigarettes or drink beer or watch dirty movies on the TV, all those forbidden fun acts you don' t ordinarily get to do what with the f...

Okay, you have to not only work where I do to understand that one, but you have to work right at my desk or in the row of desks next to mine. We had a bit o' drama in the office this week over somebody's personal space & items being violated, and instead...

Let's try the xtra-big print here. Easier on the eyes- especially if those eyes have a few miles on them. The eyes are, of course, one of the first things to go. Besides the fact that your eyeball changes shape in the course of your lifetime(taking you, ...

Remember the line from the movie Airplane- it was a running, recurring gagline- from I think the Lloyd Bridges character throughout the show: "Guess I picked a bad week to quit smoking/drinking/smoking weed/sniffing glue" Well over this weekend, that's...

If you work a full-time job at basically one worksite, you spend a hell of a lot of time there. Well, all day every day, at least 5 days a week, at least 8 hours every day. And you're with the same people for all those hours every day, day after day after...

"You know, you and your brother and your Dad are all the same(in that), you're all fairly social, but none of you really fit in". Thus spake a friend of mine(and Dad's)some time ago. Like Dad and me, a musician(and for what it's worth, a damned good one...

I did try this year to sit through it. Got through some of the interminable introductions, the previews of the action, the good-natured horseplay on the part of the announcers(it does give jobs to folks who might have a hard time otherwise..).The hoopla...

Aw shucks! Well, rather than subject you to an earful of further dreadful puns, let's move on, shall we But still, since there's a "Colonel" of chicken already(Officer Sanders)maybe that would automatically preclude a Colonel of Corn. Or perhaps Colonel...

PFFFT!!!!"'Eer!""Thank you my son". That's probably how it'd go down, between lighting the pipe or j or whatever means of conveyance you're using(the initial PFFT sound), then handing it to His Excellency('Eer). Plus his benevolent thanks.

Well, another Christmas, here tomorrow and gone the next day. Always a somewhat intense, heightened time(too bad it doesn't apply vertically- oh well.)The holidays seem to intensify whatever's going on with you, good or bad. A time of great joy and/or a t...

I must've been 12 or 13 at the time. Standing outside the clubhouse of an establishment our family used to belong to(swimming/dining type place) with a couple other boys, also 12 or 13.From the swimming pool emerges a girl maybe 14. Medium-built, sorta av...

Welcome to my list of weird or somehow offensive band names. It's inspired both by the awesome stuff you see in the Village Voice's club ads under 'alternative' bands, and having played in a million bands myself. This is something I've worked on, added to...
