Remember that bitchin’ stereo you had back in the 90’s that totally cranked Nirvana, MudHoney, Public Enemy, Bob Marley, Chris Cornell’s screamin’ and Eddy Vedder’s growling? I got mine out of storage today. Yep; cleaned her and cranked her. Only I did my test sessions with Al Green. Sounded great except for that blown left [...]

I’ve only ever been arrested once in my life. I know; hard to believe, right? HA! I was 19-20 years old and belonged to a group named, “Abalone Alliance.” It was an anti-nuke group and we were protesting the building and opening of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in San Luis Obispo (technically in Avila [...]

Our one day get-away was a much needed walk in the woods. We ended up going to Jemez, NM and what a great choice that was for scenic beauty and a clearing, breath of fresh, ponderosa pine air. S took lots of photos, D-Man and I walked and talked, and the older two boys were [...]

I woke up and immediately asked for coffee. Then I was told that I was a blanket-hog all night. Yes, there is a chill in the air… it was only 53 degrees when I woke up this morning. This caused the boys to sleep longer than usual. Each of them was wrapped tight in their [...]

Ah… you know it is fall in New Mexico when the early morning skies are filled with hot air balloons, the grocery stores have large butane tanks and chili roasting cages, kids are back in school (Hallelujah!), and the state fairgrounds are used for the state fair versus a swap meet/horse racing gig.
It’s also the [...]

It has been absolutely gorgeous here in New Mexico. The mornings are crisp and clean from evening thunderstorms. I haven’t had to water all week and the ground is moist and pliant allowing me to pluck weeds with ease. Afternoons are warm, sunny, and watching the anvil-shaped, thunderhead clouds roll in is an ominous delight. [...]

The sun had to fight its way over the foggy mountains only to peek into a cold, misty valley filled with emissions from chimneys, cars, and industry. The sky filled with sepia tones choking on the city’s morning traffic rush. The cloud hanging low over the city was the same color as my now cold [...]
