In about three hours, I’ll step outside and do a most dangerous thing…
The commute home. Friday and Saturday nights, the drunk to crazy ratio is about even…and the sober drivers are outnumbered by the crazy ones by about 20 to 1.
I have to carefully watch my mirrors on the highway…I’ve dodged VERY fast cars coming [...]

Y’all (that’s a Texas technical term) check out my art gallery if you have any interest in such a thing. Clearly, I’m an amature in the art world, but I’m learning and having a great time at it.
I use the visual arts to recover from the stresses of work, and to help recharge the [...]

Ooooo….Look what came in the mail today!

I was out mowing the front yard…seems we’ve had more rain than usual this summer so it hasn’t burst into flames and self-cremated yet. Usually I have to mow it maybe 3 times in the spring and a couple times in the fall…but actually mowing in August? Amazing!
Anyway, I was constantly surrounded by dragonflies! Y’all [...]

I’m working nights again…covering for co-workers.
I actually like nights. I can lean back, crank up the tunes, and actually get stuff done. There are interruptions to my project work…lots and lots of them…but those interruptions are all about doing what we do best…producing news content and getting it to press.
The calls I get [...]

New Motor
I rebuilt my indoor blower with a new motor and we’re running again!
Texas is just too hot without one. I actually grew up without air-conditioning…we had one window unit in the wall in the master bedroom…elderly or infants could get a life-saving break from the heat and if somebody was sick or something [...]

Worked a late night last night…but I don’t have to work Sunday and have nothing critical planned.
Wow! I could sleep in today. Maybe I could make up for some of last week.
Unfortunately I woke up around 11:00am. The house was a bit warm…and worse…just WHAT was that sound?
The sound…was silence…as in, the air conditioner wasn’t [...]

A “rockumentry” on my favorite band.
The footage is from last summer methinks…
I was at most of those events!
If these guys are ever in your area I HIGHLY recommend you give them a
listen.

The Killdares Website
(wanders off singing)
We’re just living with the hope…
Only love can save us now…
Cross that river to the shore…
With no one else around…

That’s a quote, by the way, from BugzyMaccode, a good friend of mine.
Nothing says “security” like glass and magnets.
I work in downtown Dallas…a part that becomes a “no man’s land” after dark.
Our building security, since it is part of corporate instead of our operating unit, in a orgasmic fit of cost savings and bean-counter [...]

“Where ya from?”
The young lady was staring at the bike, not at me. Heh…doesn’t bother me. When it comes to me and The Dragon I’m under no illusions as to which one of us is more attractive.
Me? I was staring unabashedly at the young lady. Oppressively humid and right at 100 degrees can often bring [...]
