It's been so long since I've written anything, it's almost anti-climatic. On the other hand, I've been so eagerly awaiting some free time, that the term "eagerly awaiting" is a ridiculous understatement. I'm back in Appleton, right downtown, working again at the main branch. My time in Green Bay was very well spent, and I made a lot of good ( Read more... )

Part of me feels scorned at the moment. Wait, before I get ahead of myself (as I always do), let me say, Welcome Back My Friends to The Show that never ends. (Apologies to ELP there.) There's been some relatively major changes in my life recently, and I'll seriously attempt to be as succinct as possible, if nothing else but to serve as barrier to ( Read more... )

Today was very eventful. Had lunch with some "movers and shakers" at work today. I had quite an amount of meatballs, which I normally don't eat. But there was something about the marination process that made them delectable. But alas, capitalism often gets me down still.

"Not too early, I sleep in Saturday. Hey McFly, your shoe's untied. Don't be so gullible McFly." In the immmortal words of Biff Tannen, I bid you a good Saturday morning, this morning. My, my, my...it's a little too early for me, though. Last evening, I attended a wonderful little show at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in downtown ( Read more... )

Lately my bandmates have opened my eyes to music I normally would have not "checked out". Groups like Rush, Van Halen, The Scorpions, The Stone Roses, Yes, Styx, Kansas, etc. I know, I know. Me? The Eternal Alternative Rocker? Don't dismiss the above bands as "dinosaur bands", "cock rock", "hair metal", or overblown prog. The music is actually ( Read more... )

It's like the 'Honda Principle', "2 good, 4 better". Welcome to surreal world of my existence. Or trying to justify it, rather. To anybody that still reads this banal journal of mine, I will attempt to update rather frequently nowadays. It looks like the little lady and I might be on the outs. This maybe a cliche, but there's only 24 hours in ( Read more... )
