Fun? Yes. In fact, GOOD. As is typical for me, I dive deep when I hear a song I like. In fact, I got this guy’s album, and then dragged my wife along to see him play live as well, based on this one song. It’s a good one. Oh, and the pic in this …

Desert Addendum: Cold Brew
First-hand account of “micro-desert” experience from the last twenty-four hours. I have like half a dozen things that need to come together this week, outside of regular work. I stalled out with progress on three in a row last night. It was a little frustrating. The near two-hour commute home didn’t help much. And so …
Desert
“The man in black fled acrossed the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” The opening line from Stephen King's The Gunslinger. I love it. During those first pages of the story as the hero pursues the antagonist through the desert, King writes in detail about how the Gunslinger is well trained to handle such harsh conditions. …

From Mundane, to Meditative
My mother ironed our family’s clothes for years. I remember the ironing board being set up in the laundry room, and shirts hanging there waiting to be ironed. All these years later, I haven’t “had” to wear neatly pressed clothes in maybe fifteen years; I’ve gotten by with gently frumpy a lot of the time. …
Beowulf, 0337.
“...But well for him that after death-day may draw to his Lord, and friendship in the Father’s arms!” I've read bits and pieces of the epic poem, Beowulf, over the last few decades. I'm back at it now, trying again to decipher and appreciate it with fresh eyes and open mind. It is, after all, …
In Wisdom, In Trust
Once again for further GOOD, sharing this insight from a reading prescribed for Saturday. It is from the Book of Wisdom, Chapter 3; There are readings too from the same day, from Romans and John also, but this passage from Wisdom is what stands out for me. "Those who trust in him shall understand truth, …
Come Wander: Work, Saints, Life
I'm going to wander a bit today, so get ready. It's gonna be a quick clip, but it will be short too, so stay with me if you like, I'd love to have you along. I learned (another) important lesson recently at work; as many of them have been in my current job, it's occurred …
Lyrics Post: Dead Man’s Party
This song has a great beat, that’s the hook for sure. And that hook’s what’s got me posting these lyrics, along with the particular theme. It’s a little spooky, just right for HALLOWEEN! The band name is cool fun too: OINGO BOINGO. Danny Elfman was the lyrical and musical heart and soul of the band. …
Crows… Spoooooky
Heard earlier today, on the eve of Halloween, some great insights -- and not the least bit spooky -- but well worth your time to give a listen. Science is cool. Learning about other species is cool. Crows are cool. one.npr.org/i/760666490:774567006
