Musical May

S o we know Tally Hall’s in Millvale on May 12th and I will probably be going. Well, 5 days after that it looks like TOOL will be playing at the magnificent Tower Theater (a mile from me). They’re doing a limited “theater” tour across the country, playing in smaller venues before going to Europe and most likely coming back to the US for their usual stadium tour. What an opportunity! There’s a great chance I will miss getting tickets due to the limited seating and thousands of people wanting to get a ticket. But I’m gonna try my best. This Saturday at 10am, tickets available through internet and phone only. You can bet I’ll be up at 8am, perched

My Weekend in Ann Arbor

W ork let us out at 2pm today. I’m trying to figure out what to do with all this extra time I wasn’t counting on. I’m all out of sorts. So I’ll sit here, listen to Kidd Chris and try to type of my account of the Michigan trip while I still remember it. Liz and I didn’t get out on the highways until 7pm Friday night.

If you scrolled down far enough, you’d have seen a tiny little thing at the bottom of the page reading “April fools.” Some didn’t see it, so my apologies to those I fooled. Just trying to have some fun. Yesterday, April 2nd, this site found itself blank again, except for a special birthday wish and some music playing. It’s

You might be a jealous redneck if…

W here am I? Today, I mean. I’m here. I’m back in a better state of mind. I’m sorting through the confusion, settling back into… well, I don’t know… a state of patience and dedication? I have reason to be otherwise, but this is always the way to be, if you can be. I wonder what happened, though. I used to have thoughts. I used to be able to share wisdom. I used to go to strange places in my head and come out a little better, a little smarter. Then I could express it. It’s not there. Have I learned it all? Surely not. Maybe I just need to force myself into some starting line and see if it’s
