On Friday I spent some time talking about “The Six Month Wall”, and how the way to get past it, according to experts, is to just give yourself permission to be less productive and take a bit of a break. So, this weekend, that’s what I did. The weather was mostly crap, so I stuck […]

Earlier this week, a friend shared a series of posts on social media from a disaster response expert about “The Six Month Wall,” a point in any ongoing crisis where a person is just done, tired of the grind, of coping, and has just lost all semblance of enthusiasm, motivation, and productivity. I’m there. We’re […]

The world is losing way too many good people right now. This week/weekend has been rough. Beyond my uncle last week, I learned that I lost a friend (who had officiated over 3600 weddings and loved sharing bizarre musical instruments) to complications of a stroke, and several friends have lost beloved pets, not to mention […]

Best thing I can say about this week is that it’s basically over. This whole week I’ve been struggling with respiratory/allergy issues, and given the Current State of Things ™, I’ve of course been worried that it’s the dreaded ‘Rona, even if the symptoms don’t at all match up to those reported. Mostly, I’ve just […]

In an age that seems eons ago, 2018, The Blibbering Humdingers released our most recent record, Fantastic Geeks and Where To Find Them, to much acclaim. We played all over the place with it, and people seem to dig the cool 1920s aesthetic most of the record presented. Since the initial shows supporting this one, […]

For the first time in like two weeks, I’m coming off a decent night’s sleep. I am not sure what I did to achieve that, but I’m going to try to do it again. A solid eight hours makes something of a difference. I’m going to chalk it up to yesterday’s refreshing rain, which I’m […]

Just a quick note to point to one of my tunes being included on this week’s edition of Eric Coleman’s Filkcast podcast, along with a bunch of other music from acts like my friends Night Sabers and The Misbehavin’ Maidens. Listen Here!

So, virtual Dragoncon was, on the whole, pretty successful, at least from my perspective as a performer/panelist on the Filk Music track, which led the pack with over 20 hours of live and pre-recorded programming over the course of the weekend, and pulled it off almost flawlessly. I played some tunes in the online filk […]

Another week in the can, so to speak. It’s been busy, with lots of stuff going on at work, and getting school started with the youngest child, all a challenge since current conditions have us all doing our thing from the house. But, we’re managing, in particular, me, through tons of sinus issues in the […]

So, in most normal years, right about now I’d likely be wrapping up work things to take a couple of days off to head down to Atlanta with almost 100,000 of my closest friends for Dragoncon where I’d get to play rock star with my buddies the Blibbering Humdingers, though given the realities of the […]
