Real Gone.

Real Gone–Cheryl Crow
Slow down, you’re gonna crash,
Baby you’re a-screaming it’s a blast, blast, blast
Look out babe, you’ve got your blinders on
Everybody’s looking for a way to get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.
Here’s to being Real Gone!

A scheduled post!
Yeah…riding is what I need. I’m somewhere on the road…and I needed it.
The Other Kind, Steve Earle
I’m back out on that road again, turn this beast into the wind
There are those that break and bend, I’m the other kind
I’m the other kind
See, it used to be I was really free, didn’t need [...]

Eastbound and down…

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

I’m headed out at something like O’dark-thirty for Inzane, the annual Valkyrie Riders gathering, this year in Johnson City, Tennessee. I’ll be the tech session coordinator, so if you’re looking for me, check out the tech schedule…when I’m not there I’ll be screaming through the gorgeous hills in the area.
Got a couple days to get [...]

Busy busy…and battles.

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I’ve been busy at work…and busy at home too…trying to get ready for a trip now. Drats. More maintenance for the machine…more work needed on the house.
Ah well. Such is life!
Anyway, I thought I’d draw your attention to a story I posted some time ago…due to an email from website reader I ended up re-reading [...]

And then there was the day…

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

So…waaay back when I was a kid…say about 18 or so…I was naive and believed that hard work and dedication (to a company) would get me ahead and make me a success. Heh…that is subject for another post…
I had a roommate at the time (he’s still my best friend)…and he believed too…
We’d been roommates a [...]

A thought for the day…

Emailed to me:
“SISU” is a Finnish word, and it describes an almost spiritual trait of absolute, heroically stubborn, utterly unyielding, unflinchingly stoic, total determination. ‘Sisu’ has been described as “washing a car in the rain, finishing a story read to a child even though the child has long ago hopped off the lap and gone [...]

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Happy birthday America. This is both a solemn and joyous day for my country…which we celebrate in a typically American restrained and sensible manner.
Here…hold my beer…and hey y’all watch this!

CUAgain,

Artists! Oy!

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

So…I’ve been dabbling in the visual arts. I am proud of some of my efforts. I’ve also been taking a life-drawing class. The reasons for these pursuits are many and not all easily explained. That’s okay, I’m not going to try here. They are subject for another post…
The end result of all this is I’ve [...]
