Getting Things Done As If It Really Matters

New Year’s Eve. New Year’s resolutions. Time to start fresh.
I usually don’t give a rat’s ass about January 1 as a time to start something new. Maybe I operate on different cycles, Maybe I have different motivators. But it doesn’t matter much to me.
Oh, and I have a pretty bad track record of follow through, [...]

New Year’s Eve with Blind Melon

I cannot believe I am not going. The NYE show is even in my original home state, so I should be representing hard. Having had the NYC show cancelled just about a month ago, it would be so good. How many times have I actually done something on NYE that I was really psyched about, [...]

Does Santa Visit St. Anger on Christmas?

The album…Metallica.
Jeebus, wow. The power. The intensity. Tight. Originally annoying snare and all still me hooked. Only needed a loud session on good headphones to dive right in.
Thank you, boys. I needed that jolt.

Merry Christmas, Everyone

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. Gratitude and perspective to all.
Help each other open up to the mysteries around us.
Help me open up to the mysteries around us.
Blessings abound if we’re willing to see them and accept them.

Sweet baby jeebus, Samson’s ears are lookin’ good!

Whether it’s the weather, the new pills, the new drops, a bit more time outside in the dry cold, less cleaning in the nooks and crannies with Q-tips, more love and patience as my mind/body system comes down from constant overload, or some cosmic intervention, SAMSON’S EARS ARE GETTING BETTER! His ears are getting back [...]

The Blog’s Direction – Away from the [Tech] Heat

Ok, so I’m looking at the blog’s stats (yeah, now THAT’S called procrastination!) and I realized this summer I was getting a lot of hits when I was posting on cell phone this and that. It was hot. I hope I had some observations and questions that were helpful for people.
Then, we moved…twice…technically 3 times, [...]

Update on Samson’s ears: The quest continues…

Nasty, smelly when he shakes his head, tender to the touch when he itches them or I am cleaning them…
Uggh.
Trying new things and getting nowhere really. He’s obviously got a pretty chronic case. Maybe, if I have time, I’ll post exactly what drops and other things we’re trying to do. It’s costing a lot of [...]

Curve and Storm and iPod Touch

So I’m knee deep in the pre-doc internship and things are getting out of hand. Busy is an understatement. The two boys (two under 3) are about 5 handfuls. My dissertation hasn’t even reached completed proposal stage. We still have some boxes that have not been unpacked from the move (times 2). Exercise in non-existent.
Am [...]
