Short work weeks and Shade

Posted in Books, Difficulties, Television, Thoughts, summertime on June 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

The best thing about a Monday holiday is that on Thursday you think it is Wednesday and Friday is here before you know it.  I got home on Monday from a six day long trip to Chicago for work then to Charleston for pleasure.  It was pouring down rain and I was so happy because [...]

You Make Your Own Luck, There is No Curse.

Posted in Television, Thoughts on June 3, 2010 | 2 Comments »

*I wrote this post a week and a half ago and it didn’t get posted due to operational error.  So I’m reposting now.  I did reread it and I think it still makes sense. A while back, at the beginning of the year – I said I was going to reflect on things I learned [...]

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Posted in Augusta, Beauty, Thoughts on May 10, 2010 | 1 Comment »

It barely rained at all this April, but we’ve had spectacular flowers anyway.  Once it did finally start raining in May, everything started growing, growing, growing.  Sprouts, shoots, branches, buds, springing up from every empty space.  Cracks in the sidewalk, the space between the slats on the porch, the nook in the tree, chinks in [...]

Twenty-Ten?

Posted in Thoughts on January 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I keep saying Two Thousand and Ten.  Which, is apparently WRONG.  I also keep writing 200, only to catch myself and go back and insert a 1 before the last 0.  I’m still thinking about lists I want to make of things that happened in the last decade.  Do you think there is something wrong [...]

Happy 2010!

Posted in Thoughts on January 6, 2010 | 3 Comments »

I want to write a long New Year post, and talk about the events of the past decade, and the past year and what I’ve learned and how I’m different and how I’m the same.  But I just haven’t done it, and I’m not going to do it right now either.  I did get all my [...]

Rain

Posted in Thoughts on December 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I am in my bed, listening to the rain pour outside my window.  I have things to say tonight.  I think some pandora radio will help me think and write.  Guess what the first song Pandora wants to play for me tonight? Rain – Patty Griffin.  I wish I could start it over and play [...]

Indian Summer, Pumpkins and Harvest Moons

Posted in Briscoe, Thoughts, Weather on November 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »

It was sunny and warm here all of last week, which always make for an interesting Halloween.  I remember as a child either sweating to death in whatever huge costume I’d been damned and determined to wear, or freezing to death in whatever thin material had seemed absolutely necessary.  Last Thursday night Kate and I made pumpkin [...]

Excuse me, Fall? I think you need an attitude adjustment.

Posted in Augusta, Thoughts on October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Listen, just last week I was bragging on you, how awesome the month of October is, and all the wonderfulness that goes along with Fall.  But ever since, you’ve been sort of acting out.  First you got really hot.  Like, wow.   My car said 101 in the sun one day last week.  I think it [...]

Why I am not quite ready for kids

Posted in Difficulties, Thoughts, dogs on August 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I obviously have some authority issues.  As a child, adults didn’t really love me.  Part of this was that I was the most hyperactive child in America (so no one ever let me baby sit growing up), and I thought a lot.  One time when I was 4 I told my mom we needed to [...]

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Posted in Augusta, Thoughts on July 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I like to sit on my front porch after work with a beer and watch people.  Our street gets a surprising amount of foot traffic.  Briscoe thinks this is awesome.  I really like my neighborhood, even if we have a vague suspicion that one neighbor is a drug dealer.  They get a lot of visitors who [...]
