DONE!


Well there were times when I really thought this was never going to get finished, but let me tell you, I've got a box of them all shrink-wrapped and staring out at me from beneath the cardboard flaps and that’s a pretty cool feeling, I tell you what. I sent the first bunch to CD Baby yesterday morning and then took them all around to the people who helped me put this together. I worked harder on this bunch of music than I have worked on any other musical endeavor, and I’m very happy with the results.

All that being said and all, I know I’ve been remiss. When I pulled up to the old trailer this morning, there were weeds poking up through the cracks, cobwebs in the windows and all the sheet covered chairs were covered in dust. I can see black mildew in the corners of the bathroom and rusted lines from where the faucets leaked and dribbled. I’m still undecided about moving back in. I’ve opened up a new trailer over at myspace, but I don’t like the feel of the place. I’m trying Wordpress as well, but I haven seen the benefits to that yet either, so really I’m in a bit of flux.

The Brown Dog and I have been out having lots of adventures these mornings—out along the cliffs of Point Defiance and through the trails of Puget Park. She’s a good companion and one of the smartest dogs I’ve ever known, but most importantly she gets me out and walking and that in turn is helping my bottom line, ifyouknowwhatimean, to the tune of 20 pounds so far. Well, her and the fact I got out from behind the desk of death.

Tell you what, when CD Baby gets the web page up I’ll post all the info here, so you can go check it out. Heck maybe you’d be one of those people interested in having a copy of your very own.

We’ve started making The List. Somehow lately in trying to keep our head above water, we’ve forgotten the usefulness in keeping up the Big Check List. There are things that need to be done and like all things that one keeps trying to juggle in the air, errant balls will veer off their trajectory and disappear under sofas and wing-back chairs for weeks until cleaning day where they manage to get swept back out into the open. Sometimes it to late and the moment’s past and sometimes they never get found again. So Sunday night we gathered up our calendar and tried to put all the balls back in motion. Of course today is only Wednesday, and while we have achieved some degree of juggletude, there are still many balls to get up in the air. The best part of this new approach is that the Disney Trip is back on. We’ll be heading down to Anaheim for the Halloween weekend, taking the boys out of school for a few days to take advantage of the midweek rates. Sweetie is also ...

The To-Do List

Well it’s been a few days since I last posted, I know, I know. What with Sweetie being out of town this past weekend and the calendar being all stuffed full, there just hasn’t been all that much time to write. Not that there hasn’t been things to talk about. Both boys had their first ride on a pony, I got in an argument with another parent dropping the older boy off at school after she had a fit that I had parked to close to her car. The older boy got to hold his new cousin and we all got a good meal out of the deal. Met with Colin Saturday morning and got the artwork back (finally!) for the Prairie Dogs upcoming CD, Brand New Heart, It looks GREAT, now I just need to find out how to pay to get them made up. Started working on a switch-activated Lazy-Susan for Ike so he can sit and spin himself in his chair. Called the paramedics to come and rescue my mom after she fell off the last step leaving the trailer Sunday morning. We all wound up in the emergency room commiserating...

Breaking up in the fog

I noticed them as I was getting Ike’s wheelchair out of the back of the 402. A young couple; her standing about five feet or so from him and facing away, looking down, and he, sitting on the park bench, shoulders down and elbows on knees. She was crying. The Older Boy took no notice of them, and was asking if we could go into the park after the party, but since I was trying to both listen to his question and suss the couple’s situation out it took me a while to answer. Later, while we were at the party in a house that overlooked the park, I saw that they had moved to another bench, but that she was still crying and he was still seated with his elbows resting on his knees. The party was a surprise birthday celebration for Heather that Earl put together at the last minute the day before. We drank Mojito’s and red wine, and Earl’s mother put some chicken and potatoes in the oven to bake. Both Heather and Earl’s mothers have been staying with them for the past few months since He...
