~:: So Where’s Your Helmet? ::~

Murph comes home tonight, very late.  We aren’t picking him up at the airport; his betrothed is.  She’ll drop him off.  I’m determined to wait up, but will probably be draped ignominiously across my computer, here on the couch.  Maybe … Continue reading

~:: Pictures of Blizzard ::~

~:: Blizzard ::~

I woke up an hour and a half (at least) before my time this morning, straight out of a dream of twisters.  Somebody had said, “LOOK!” And we ran out of the house and looked up, only to watch the … Continue reading

~:: and the winner is ::~

just a note: I have responded to the challenge pieces in the comments of yesterday’s blog – if anybody is interested.  Which you certainly don’t have to be. I am sitting at my desk, listening to fourteen string players on … Continue reading
