The dark ages of music
No, this isn’t bitching about a genre, or a period of music per se, but instead it is a grumble at the practice of turning sub standard live recordings from the 70’s and 80’s into “new” albums. In this period, many bands began recording themselves at all their shows. The Live albums were a popular…

Soccer Moms imperiling their kids
Quick post today. This morning, I almost got creamed by a soccer mom dropping her precious kid off at school. She ran a red light to “beat the rush” to enter the local Basis school. Fortunately, I had anticipated the idiocy, and had my foot hovering on the brake. Basis schools are charters, who are…

Weight loss update – My quest to not be a person of Walmart
Another boring post, but hey, it helps me keep track. In 3 & 1/2 weeks, I have lost 13+ pounds. The ‘+’ means that I am oh so close to breaking through a plateau that I can hardly wait. Plateaus are something that just happen, and anyone who has done serious dieting knows that they…

Things I don’t need to be told
Number 1: I weigh too much and should lose some weight. Duh. Number 2: I drink too much. Time to do something about #1. #2 follows from #1. But first, why am I in condition #1? Well, simply, I like food, and I like to eat. Add to that that I am a stress eater…
