Russo, SQ-1, from the photographs on the registration table. Not having a safety pin, I carried his photograph with me. Entries dated back to. We haven't hea...

Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Maintenance : A Calm Quiet : Transitions : Ah-ha! For me, 2013 was all about maintenance. Maintaining my relationships. Maintaining my job, my house, my health. Maintaining my sanity. Overall, I don't feel like I got ahead this year. But, I don't feel like I fell behind either. This year, there is no such list. There is no witty banter. This year, there is only a calm quiet. At first the quiet felt strange. Wrong, even. Then something amazing happened. For 2014, I promise to e...

I decided to take on the challenge of creating a playlist that had at least one song from each of our wonderful United States of America. All genres welcome, the name of the city or state should be in the title or a lyric and should be a somewhat integral part of the song. Here is the final list in all it's 6.9 hour, 109 song alphabetical glory. I've Been Everywhere - Johhny Cash. 8211; Kings of.

Saturday, January 5, 2013. In 2012, I went. I did. I was. And I had fun. Oh yeah, and I fell in love. Hopelessly. Totally. Effortlessly.

July &#...
