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 […]

Not much to say about the week, really. Accomplished a few things, encountered more than a few frustrations, pressed on through it all because I’m a goddamn professional, and, as it appears will come to pass as I write this, will make it through to the end mostly unscathed. Did most of it through the […]

So, it’s finally Friday. Been a long week for a number of reasons, though I don’t really feel like talking specifics; it’s either dull, or not my place to say. Ups and downs; it’s what we got. I do come into today feeling a little bit more optimistic than is typical of me lately. Headlines […]

Tuesday was the first day in what feels like quite a while that I saw the sun, and it was terribly welcome. After some ups and downs in the virtual office (decent forward progress of the “two steps forward, one step back” variety), I racked the bike and put almost seventeen miles under me on […]
