I’m one of those hopeless nostalgics, the ones who lament about the fading away of the “good old days” and desperately, futilely tried to bring them back or recreate them somehow. Bah! Humbug. 😉 I think I’m finally beginning to embrace the newest Turn of the Century. In fact, I’m almost beginning to feel comfortable … More Maybe the 21st century *doesn’t* suck…
If you’re in Canada, or you’ve ever lived there, or you’ve ever been to one of the major summer fairs from Manitoba on westward, you know me. You don’t know you know me, but you know me. I’ll give you a hint. 😉 I was born into a seasonal gypsy life. I don’t mind the … More Whispers of the road
Certain events and phenomena make me giddy, a sensation I can only describe as a happy, optimistic, excited feeling. It comes from deep inside, probably from my core, and almost feels like seismic activity. Giddiness brings incredible innocent pleasure, each different phenomenon igniting different facets of my being and electrifying them. Perplexed yet? Still with … More Things that make me giddy…
I’m Cajun. Well, a quarter Cajun, though I’d like to think it’s a dominant gene. However, I did not grow up in Cajun Country and in fact, it’s been a remarkably long time since I’ve been there. My mother’s side of the family is all still there (the elder ones, anyway; like anywhere else, the … More Callin’ Baton Rouge
‘Tis the season, where something about the sun’s position in the sky and the warmth of the breeze awakened something instinctual deep inside us. When it stirred, it told us it was time to get ready, as we would be going soon, embarking on a journey that would take us across the western half of … More Where the streets have no name
I meant to write about this last month, but life took over and since I’m the proud owner of a forced vacay, I thought I’d catch up on some much-needed blogging. Last month, we visited the lush, Great Green North that is southwestern Alberta, Canada. The trip’s purpose was sort of an all-in-one kill-a-flock-with-one-stone. Not … More Step right up
It’s been over a year. We’re due for Installation No. 5 of “25 CDs one should never be without”. Ironically, this is bordering on, “25 mp3 albums one should never be without” because (eek) I don’t actually own the CD, in some cases. As usual, no particular order… 1. Heart – (self-titled) (1985) 2. Adham … More 25 CDs one should never be without, vol. 5
I was going to write another scathing post about how Whole Foods isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, but the follow-through passion just wasn’t there tonight. Instead, playing with my Mac all week (and through the weekend) got me thinking about Adobe Pagemaker, which took me back to the good ol’ days where I … More The day the music died
Never does a person have such an opportunity to assess all of their belongings in one shot as s/he does when s/he moves (and on a sidenote, never do so many objects considered “lost” get recovered). This is especially true with CDs. Since I rely primarily on the 120,000+ mp3s on my computer for my … More 25 CDs one should never be without – 4th edition
