I’ll be entirely honest, since last friday, it’s been a hell of a lot of week, for a number of reasons which I won’t burden you all with, but I’ve been kind of on edge and in a low-grade threat posture all week; it’s been tough to relax and let go. Taking Friday off to […]

As I write this, we’re a little more than 24 hours to go until we move into 2020. A change in year. A change in decade. All that, plus a Presidential election and such. 2019, stressful as it’s been in some cases, has been surprisingly productive and successful for me. Sure, my day job continues […]

Currently in the process of tidying things up for my short holiday work week, which has been, if I’m being honest, kind of a waste of time.  I’ve spent most of it tying up loose ends like required “Ethics Training” and sending messages to folks who are already off brining turkeys and celebrating European conquest […]

So Saturday involved running the soundboard for two competition stages at the Feis for twelve and a half hours. Of course, I’m happy to do it, as it is my Dance Dad (and Spouse) Duty™, and it lets the dance school save a few bucks not having to rent the equipment. Still, sitting there digging […]

Has honestly been a pretty good week, when it comes right down to it. Apart from the fact that as he attended to higher-end management stuff in the C suite, I ended up sitting in for the boss on all kinds of other high-level meetings all week. I have had my fill of briefing big […]

In the last couple of years, my go-to dish for pot lucks/parties/whatever is this delicious and relatively simple southwestern-style sweet potato salad. I improvised off of a couple of variations of the same I found online once when I had a bunch of great-looking sweet potatoes I picked up at the farmers’ market that I […]

This weekend involved lots of different adventures; starting with hauling us and our friends Ted and Jennyfer out to SBC to catch the oldest playing Titania, Queen of the Fairies in the campus production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which was pretty great, actually. Spending the evening with our friends was fun, and we did […]

Spent most of the week waiting for people to wrap stuff up at the very last minute, which is how my organization rolls. It’s kinda frustrating. This contributed to a mostly consistent week-long funk, though a little self-medication helped a bit, at least on my regular Thursday night at the grocery store bar with my […]

So, the album’s not quite ready yet (give it a few weeks), but in the meantime, I put up an alternate version of one of the tunes for your listening “pleasure.” Actually, it is a pleasure, since I’m not singing on this one (didn’t suit my voice), but my kid Pat Benetar’d the hell out […]

After working very hard all day Saturday and a good big of Sunday morning, I finalized fifteen audio tracks, corrected some issues with the cover art and uploaded my final files to the duplication service. I should have a review/testing copy of World’s Okayest… in hand by the end of the week. I don’t think […]
