Don't know where your world extends, but if it includes Brazil, my last (and probably final - I went on hold) purchases included a bunch of Gilberto Gil albums. Among his earliest albums are three that are all self-titled - from 1968, 1969, and 1971…

A quick one this morning - for the first time in a while we have what I call true fall - it's cooled right down, the leaves are/have changed (I drove through Franconia Notch earlier this week - breathtaking), and it just seems like the season cha…

Oh, yes. I've played this and wistfully thought about the past.

It's happened. My original knee has worn out to the point where no injections will stave off the pain. I have no cartilage in my left knee, so I'm walking bone on bone, and my knee has shifted to try to reduce the pain, but there's no more comfor…

How does one cope with the world? We all go through things that cause us to reassess who we are and what we've done. For me, unsurprisingly, it's music. I'll find something to play to calm me or get me pumped up, or sad or any number of emotions.…
It's back to school time, which means looking out for stopped buses as I drive into work each morning. I remember the feeling of "back-to-school" when I was a kid, though. I liked going to school in the fall to see friends that I either did not s…
Happy Labor Day weekend. It's the final weekend of summer, and it looks like it may actually turn into autumn after Labor Day. It's already begun, with temperatures dipping into the high 40's at night, but it can be a temporary phenomenon. Not th…
WRKO - my older sister's favorite radio station. She went to nursing school in Malden and thought theywere the best around (they probably were).
Hi - Every once in a while, I see a listing of the top 40 for a certain week. This year someone has been highlighting 1969 - and the top 40's are generally killer. This week in August 1969 is no exception.
So, armed …
I'm tired this morning, and the thinker's not working. Just a quick hello to everyone, and hope all's well. Got a great podcast today, starting with some remembrances of Woodstock, then moving on from there.
Let's c…
Summer fun has been some funner this year. Not sure that's really true, but I liked the wordplay there. More adventures with my daughter-in-law today, and then a dinner/dance cruise next Friday. And then - summer's done. Time for fall and back to…
I just received some new glasses - everything is in sharper focus now. It had been a while since I had gotten glasses, and while my eyesight hasn't gotten much worse, it was enough that new glasses really help. Also helps that the new glasses are…
In the summer, when I drive home on a Friday afternoon, there is inevitably a huge slowdown on the turnpike as we approach Maine. The number of people from Massachusetts and New York going to Maine on vacation starting Friday afternoon is more th…
Hello, I'm not here right now. Leave a message and I'll get back to you after I return. It's vacation time, and kate and I are in Boothbay Harbor playing with puffins. I hope to have everything ready for me to click send and get everything uplo…3 months? I’d find somewhere else to call home. My wife doesn’t like the cold, but I don’t have a problem with it.Hot enough for you? Ever wonder how hot it is in Hell? If you're anywhere near me, this oppressive heat is starting to melt brain cells, until kkoak[ais-inklwnmm. Well, you get it. Boy, it's hot around here. Stay cool, my friends.
…It's really been hot and humid lately. We've also had thunderstorms frequently - a strange, hot summer so far. And let's hope that Barry is as friendly as his name, and not the monster storm they're predicting for the New Orleans area.Hope everyone had a good July 4 holiday. We had family over for the holiday (I did work Friday - work never stops). It was pretty hot over the holidays, but I survived it.
As part of the family fun days, we went to …
July 4 is one of the last remaining holidays that is celebrated on a specific day rather than on a Monday (long weekend). This year July 4 lands on a Thursday, so a big question employers have is what to do with Friday, July 5? Do they treat it l…

Had a great time in Nashville. The conference was great (met a lot of old friends there), and the city was wonderful. Overall it's a bit humid for my taste, but the weather was warm and we missed most of the showers.
Highlights…
Hey! I'm in Nashville this week. So I've loaded up a podcast early and wrote this out beforehand, so I wouldn't have to think about this while I'm in Nashville, Music City U.S.A. Should have lots of great adventures (and work, always work invol…Looks like a beautiful day today, same as or maybe even better than yesterday. Not a lot on the old to-do list today (well, there is, but we'll avoid that for now). Should be a great one. Maybe a bit of deck time, relaxing and thinking about....n…
May's gone - 5 months in the book. I know there's some science about how quickly time flies as we get older, but wow - 5 months of 2019 gone. Let's hope time keeps up this pace. Being very busy at work and home help.
<…I've had this one in the can for a while. 1999 is a hard year for me - I wasn't listening to many of the songs from that period. And sure, I liked the top song of 1999 - Cher's Believe - but that doesn't mean that I have it ( or the desire to get…
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Had a great night last night with friends (why am I now hesitant to say old friends? Long-time friends, maybe?). It was a little cool last night, but overall the weather is cooperating with us on this long…
Tonight is the finale of Game of Thrones. I don't watch a lot of television, but one of the shows I do watch is Game of Thrones. Thing is, I'm not obsessed with it as many seem to be. It's an enjoyable little show that has been a little disappoin…
Feeling a bit of nostalgia right now
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms (and moms to be) out there. If it weren't for you, not only wouldn't we be here, but you acted as a moral compass for us. Thank you for everything.
Let's celebrate with some fine mu…
