Why I haven't been writing much...
Since my father died, I haven't been writing. It's just been a hard few months. I don't like writing about being depressed and irritated any more than I have to. Right now I just need to purge. Having my father's wake on my birthday was difficult, but I fought through and still pretended it was my birthday that Saturday ( Read more... ) -
Rest In Peace
My mom asked me to write this. I've been telling the story for a few days, but it's still a bit raw... still I think that's the right time to write ( Read more... ) -
Post Mortem
My father passed away at 8:35 last Thursday night. I'm still getting used to saying that but it's already getting easier. I've had to say it a lot in the last few days ( Read more... ) -
Just some stuff
It's been just over a month since I wrote here last. What a month. I finally have heard the new band (the one that doesn't have a name) with all of us playing together. It sounds pretty good. I'm so glad because everything else is haywire ( Read more... ) -
1 minute, 52 seconds of fun
I've been training for a marathon now for just over a year. In that time, I've run 3 half marathons officially and now am reaching the point in my training where I am running more than 13 miles every weekend. Well, at least hypothetically. I've also had knee problems that have limited the long runs, so the last 3 weeks were all around 11 miles ( Read more... ) -
What a Ride
I've got a lot to write up at some point soon, but at the moment, I'm training for my new job and took a cab to go to Flip Burger for lunch today. I don't want to forget my cab rides in Atlanta so I can remember if I have other projects with crazy cab drivers. In the US, they're probably all better than they are here ( Read more... ) -
Something really awesome
I have to thank my friend Sherri for calling me out of the blue on Monday. I wasn't feeling all that great, but I am SO glad I went.
It's called Open Stage and it's hard to describe accurately. It's a vaudeville, open-mic, interactive experimental dance event with some extra stuff thrown in ( Read more... ) -
German Joke
An old German man has had a wonderful life, but is at the end of it. He calls for his family to come see him one last time as he lays on his death bed. After everyone is there, he knows the end is near. His daughters and granddaughters are helping his wife with the food preparation for the wake that everyone knows is coming, but his only son sits ( Read more... ) -
For you Calvin & Hobbes fans
I've been sharing this with people all week and realized that they aren't in one place on the originating site. So I figured I'd put them here.

What I wanted to write about...
Last night was my last rehearsal with Jody Lindh. This coming Sunday will be his last as the music director at University Park UMC. We've spent the last couple of weeks celebrating his 45 year tenure at the church, climaxing with a pretty great performance of Haydn's Creation 2 weeks ago and culminating this coming Sunday with 2 of his own works ( Read more... )
