Good Friday morning, all!
I am full of interesting thoughts today. Been playing lots of great music lately, spinning classic rock and new tunes that speak to the heart. I have a little MP3 player that’s loaded with lots of my favorites, from Boz Skaggs to Rob Thomas, Richard Marx to Boy George. Lyrics are sparking [...]

Wow. An Eleven day disappearance. Where have I been? WRITING. In fact, as I type this entry late Thursday evening, my back is giving me loud complaints from the days sitting at the keyboard.
