Eric Clapton, Weather Muse

It’s raining a little today. Do you know how I know? Because I have eyes in my skull that see. I look out the window and my eyes tell me, “Ah yes, rain.” Lately, I have been somewhat addicted to the Weather Channel. Sometimes, when I’m writing, I have it on in the background and [...]
Bry and the Mechanics
Posted in Crafty, Ramble On, tagged crazy, mechanic, safelite, valvoline, windshield on April 21, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I have numerous car problems. My rear windshield rattles, I have a pebble ding in my front one, and I need an oil change. Three separate auto issues that don’t really amount to much besides a pain in the ass. I have just come from the dealership where I drove around with a mechanic riding [...]

I’m hiking into the sky on Sunday. To the top of the porch? To the top of the wall? No. But I am going to dash away to the tippy top of New York state. Mt. Marcy is the highest peak way up there in Lake Placid and I’m gonna be standing on it. That’s [...]

I just wrote over 2,000 words of my novel-in-progress and I want a cookie. Actually, what I want is to not stop. But I did stop. Why? I don’t know. I guess I was writing for about 2 hours and that seemed like enough on this Easter Sunday. At the start, I was just bumbling [...]
Army of Writers

I am recruiting an army of writers. Yes, that’s right. Do tell all of your friends. I have harnessed the pure energy of creation, lo these many years, into the sweat-logged task of building a great sea craft. At long last, she rests, tranquil on the western lake in the valley by the shore of [...]
