Not far from the borders of Juniorvania, the little village of St. George will be hosting its “Apple Fest” this weekend. Locally, everyone is about as amped up about this as country folk get about anything. The enthusiasm is charming, dare I say “quaint” (without meaning to be condescending in any way) to these eyes […]

Spouse and I made a quick run into the Zehrs last night in preparation for a movie night; running low on popcorn and in need of a couple of other staples, we ended up in the detergent aisle where Spouse was conducting a search for a new product to tackle our laundry. She seems […] Last night was the final rehearsal for our little ad-hoc combo before next Thursday night’s charity auction gig. We rehearsed at our drummer’s house on the West Mountain (it’s really just a hill, for those of you not from ’round here) in Hamilton, which means a thirty-five minute drive each way for me. When we […] Note to the dude on the 403 Eastbound today driving the ‘vette with the personalized plate that says “RAWPOWER”: when I think about who might be moved to purchase such a plate for this particular vehicle, my thoughts keep coming back to a middle aged man whose penis is of less than average size, and […] Form apology. Please be sure to use a Number Two pencil: Dear Friend/Relative/Countrymen I apologize for ignoring your telephone call/email/angry banging on the door. I know that it has been some time/a few days/a long time since I last spoke to you/returned that thing I borrowed/rock and rolled. My excuse yesterday was that […] Once I finished the cabinets up yesterday afternoon, I transitioned from “handyman” to “geek” mode and started working on a little video for the charity event Spouse and I are helping to organize; it’s essentially a commercial for the event that I’m going to put up on YouTube. I spent the late/afternoon and early […] Update: Thought I was finished with the Home Depot, eh? Not quite. Spouse and I sojourned to the local Lowe’s (just a bit farther down the same road that Home Depot is on, coincidentally), so that I could pick up one of those Workmate thingies. I got one of these little guys, which seemed to […] One project that needs to get done soon is the augmentation of certain shelving in our kitchen. One of our cupboards, specifically the one that is chock full o’ tumblers, has only three shelves (including the bottom surface of the cabinet) inside, though it is more than 40 inches tall. My mission, and I had […] David Byrne and Brian Eno have been twiddling knobs together in the studio. David Byrne and Brian Eno TOGETHER? That’s like awesomeness mashed on top of cool, especially if you’re my brother Doug, who feels about David Byrne and Brian Eno kind of like most eight year olds feel about Superman and Batman. But wait, […] My work as a recordist on Saturday evening and Sunday morning (part of the Founders’ Day festivities) has inspired me to attempt to learn a little more about the voodoo magic that can be accomplished in a home stuido with one of these little fellas. One of my co-workers is married to a fellow who […] |
