If you read my last post, you know where my head’s at with this whole business. I won’t lie; I had a couple of meltdowns this week. I’m a creature of habit, and all these necessary changes to how we’ve got to live life for the next little while is really wearing on me. Seriously. […]

Given that so many of us who are musicians are finding ourselves without places to play in this age of social distancing and pandemics and all, after some sort of clandestine testing earlier this week, I shall be doing my own streaming show on Saturday afternoon at 4pm on Facebook Live: I’m calling it Chuck […]

So, for the most part, I practiced social distancing this weekend, spending most of Saturday and Sunday alone in my car with audiobooks traveling I-95. Of course, at the mid-point of my 600 mile highway odyssey, I spent a few hours making music with a small group of friends in St. Matthews, South Carolina at […]

So, beyond the pandemic we’re dealing with in the other post, my world’s largely been occupied with long days spinning well over a hundred pages of well-written (if I do say so myself) bullshit to accomplish the Herculean effort of pulling together the acquisition package for a multi-million dollar omnibus IT services contract that should […]

Hasn’t been the best week, honestly. I’m mostly past the latest cold/flu/definitely not Covid-19 bug, but this one feels like it’s going to…linger. Taking off work Monday to play dead kinda helped, though playing catch-up always sucks, especially with a sore throat and gnomes hammering in the sinuses behind my eyes. Work has been a […]

I can’t breathe. Seriously, I swear, I have gotten sick more often this year than I have in recent memory. It sucks. It doesn’t help that I’ve seen the sun maybe once in the last three or four days, and I’ve been shanghai’d into mostly pointless training most of the week, which has thrown off […]

That title up there kind of says it all about where the hell the mid-Atlantic is right now. As I write this, it hasn’t hit us yet, but I expect we’ll get something; not much, of course (at least to my grew-up-in-the-northeast perspective), but two inches is enough to shut this metropolitan area down. I’m […]

This week, I tell ya. It’s bad enough that I haven’t see the sun since Saturday, and then only from the car. Ridiculous number of phone calls with bureaucrats convinced their particular “prestigious” geographic location gives them license to skirt policy and procedures (fuck them, btw). People needing things and being annoyingly persistent about it […]

You could say it was an eventful week for the nation. As I write this, Iowa has finally all but gotten it’s results from Monday’s caucuses out, and honestly, I was kind of surprised to see Mayor Pete come out on top, though the top three (Pete, along with Bernie and Liz) appear pretty close, […]

As I tap this out, I can say that it’s been a really uneventful week, following a pre-determined pattern. Wake. Paperwork. Scan Headlines. Reheat leftovers. Read. Pass out. Repeat. Part of this is because I’m still not feeling great; likely lingering con crud, but who knows, given what the kids bring home, and what I […]
