Over 20 years ago, when we lived in Virginia, gardening was easy. I'd helped my Dad with his garden for years. I grew up with overflowing fresh produce. There would be so many tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers we'd pickle. He'd make salsa. It's tough to eat store bought greenhouse tomatoes when you've had them off … Continue reading At long last…

Geez, they’re at it again
We had announcements from ERCOT that it would be best if we turned up our thermostats. Energy crunch a-comin'. ERCOT is that poorly named 'reliability' council for electric power here in Texas. This winter we had a freeze and electric power was anything but reliable. To put it bluntly, they mismanaged the grid so bad … Continue reading Geez, they’re at it again
Jet watches TV
I was watching a flick on Amazon and noticed the big guy gripped by the actions. FWIW, the movie is called 'Memorial Day' and it features James Cromwell - who has been in tons of movies and TV, usually as a character actor, or bad guy. Here, he's the grandfather that was in WW2 that … Continue reading Jet watches TV
Wow. Who knew?
I was surfing on Amazon the other day and hit a documentary on Gordon Lightfoot. Wow. Words fail. When I hear songs and lyrics, and learn what they were about and why they were written, they stick. And this dude has many over a very long career. Boss Man Boss Man what do ya sayI … Continue reading Wow. Who knew?
Just want to work here…

The background noise you hear is my phone picking up the fans on my camera system, network, and tower. I have a boatload of voiceover work that has to be done. The background … Continue reading Just want to work here…
I’m at a loss…
I'm at a loss to describe what I'm seeing here. And that's pretty hard to do since I never failed to have words. What we have here is a woman whose won life's lottery. She wound up getting elected, and is riding the gravy train that exists in DC in the Mid-Atlantic corridor. Without any … Continue reading I’m at a loss…
Like the Weather
Man oh Man, it's been rainy here like Seattle. https://youtu.be/gm0ZWbMhWrE I saw her sing this live long ago. Weird chick. Cool voice. Cool stage presence. I'm a nut about songs that resonate with me. I go to Ultimate-guitar.com and learn how to play them. This one is fun to play. "What a cold and a … Continue reading Like the Weather
That Time of Year Again…
And this time, it was more painful and expensive than usual. Every year you have to renew the tags on your car, which involves an inspection. Herself's car is due in May, and look at the date - it's the eleventh hour again. For those uninitiated, you don't go to the DMV in Texas for … Continue reading That Time of Year Again…
