MIA

I’ve been distracted lately by a project that I should have finished in September. Luckily it turned out well, and the person who asked for it was pleased. I wrote a brand new choral piece for a children’s choir in Warner Robins, and it will be performed for the first time in January, in [...]

Things I Didn’t Say, Volume 4 (I think)

“DO. NOT. SING.” Also, “OMG, somebody turn off his mic!!”
“If you play that guitar any harder, it WILL start screaming.”
“Boy, you think a lot of yourself, huh.”
“Hmm. Tell me, have you ever actually HEARD yourself play?” Also, “…and you STILL don’t know why they didn’t let you play in the other church?”
“Can’t… stay… awake… speaking [...]

The Handyman Cometh … Not

If I think about things too long, I wind up needing to take an axe to a tree. I used to do that in a house I rented 20 years ago. There was a dead tree in the back yard which the homeowner didn’t want to take down, so when I got particularly angry about [...]

Not That It Matters…

I often wonder at what point I became an intolerable whiner. I have recognized my tendencies for a long time, and while I try to change, it seems to be ingrained behavior.

One Singular Sensation…

I bought my plane ticket today! I am NY bound the end of this month. I am actually a little excited, if for no other reason than it is NOT IN GEORGIA. I know the truth about this trip: my friend is a bit of an exaggerator, and even tho he SAYS he’ll introduce me [...]

Tree Woman Strikes Again

Many years ago I pulled down half a tree with my bare hands in front of a couple of smart-alec witnesses. I have been “Tree Woman” ever since. It’s a mark of two things, I guess, stupid impulsivity and a do-it-myself attitude. Plus, it’s funny to some people. Go figure.
So yesterday I noticed that my [...]

Whipping Post, I Yam.

Ok, a few notes from the day.
1. If you try to carry 130 cd’s in a box that will only hold 40, do not be surprised when you drop them all one foot from your destination.
2. Also do not be surprised to hear God laughing while you are on your butt in the floor trying [...]
