*End of the Line by The Traveling Wilburys. Even as a 14 year old quasi-headbanger, I thought these guys were really cool. Made up of superstars Roy Orbinson, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and George Harrison, they only made one record together. Then, Roy died; the rest of the members went on to do another but […]

*Closer to Fine by Indigo Girls. This duo is, objectively, really good. They defined folk music in the 90’s and really reached a lot of people with their music and lyrics. Erin really likes them; I, however, never really got into them.
In a distinct departure from our norm, we have spent part of the last […]

As you can see, I finally got around to changing the appearence of our little site. Let me know what you think and whether you have any problems. Everything you’re used to should be here, if not right now then very soon.
If you’re into this sort of thing, check out the theme developer (linked at […]

A terrible ten days

The human body (and our ability to deal with it’s ups and downs) is very curious. As you know if you’ve been following along lately, Erin and Maggie were sick this time last week; I had flown under the radar. Then, Wednesday evening, my karma caught up with me but by Saturday, I thought it […]

Fake sausage…forget it

Give me the real thing! Maggie, my sweet picky eater, only gobbles down one thing - sausage patties. Real greasy sausage patties from Jones Dairy Farm. Evidently I am the only one in the family interested in veggies around here! UGh!

*Girl From West Virginia by Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. This is one of the more famous bluegrass groups out there. They’ve been recognized with some pretty significant awards in the bluegrass community.
My definition of heaven on Earth. You’ve worked hard so far and there’s more to come, so you bed down in a meadow and […]

*Catching On by Son Volt. I have a kind of ‘love/not really into’ relationship with this band. I really liked their breakthrough album Trace but some of the stuff since then has been kind of so-so. The lead singer, a guy named Jay Farrar, is supposedly some kind of musical and lyrical genius. Anyway, if […]

The mice will play when the cat is away

As Erin mentioned, she and Maggie were visiting Grandmama and Grandpapa last week in Florida. Wilson and I (Charley doesn’t count–all she’s interested in is when she’s going to get fed) therefore had the house to ourselves. I had a lot of crap to do for work and the weather wasn’t all that great for […]
