I’m still cleaning up the blog, trying to combat link rot. Somehow, I fell into looking at the draft posts. This one is from 2009 and I haven’t the foggiest notion as to why I didn’t publish it. Today’s prompt is…
Music, Music, Music
Wow. I found a draft of a post from 2008, and much of it is still relevant, so I’m updating and sharing it. I’ve been listening to more music lately, which is good. I love music, and honestly, I hear it…
Social Sunday
I had a lovely day. This afternoon I went to Fuddruckers with James, Steve and some other folks. We went by Phoenix and Dragon on the way home. Then I spent several hours chatting with an old friend online. We got…

I’ve had an odd mix of thoughts today. Mom called last night (Friday), and I learned that Daddy has had several bad falls recently. He was out of town for a business trip most of this week and ended up…
My Hometown
While browsing the AJC this afternoon, I was surprised to find Gadsden, Alabama featured as a “one tank trip” destination. I lived there for 7–8 years as a child and spent several summers there in my teens, and hadn’t ever…
