So it's been a few months into 2010. I've made good on my promise to plug back into the music scene; been playing almost every Sunday with Rich Matra's reggae/jazz band Matrajah. My friend JoBeth got me the spot, and Rich has liked my playing so far. The band is definitely a rotating ensemble, with […]

I post here somewhat infrequently, and I’d like to be better about that. So, I’ve committed myself to Project52, which takes its name from the 52 weeks of the year, and the aim of the project is to write at least one blog post every week for a year. I’ll be tagging all of my […]

I had a hell of a time the last few months. Amber, who was living with me, & I broke up in August. That same week, my best friend’s father died very suddenly, and because of how things worked out with my schedule, I couldn’t even take off to support him at the funeral.
And to […]

I'm sure you've all noticed the new look. What do you think? I figured it was time for a change, and Khoi Vinh's Basic Maths theme seemed pretty spiffy. If anyone sees anything broken, or you just wanna say how sweet it is, comment below!

So about a week ago, I moved my site from /blog/ to /wordpress/ (it's not a visible change, the way I have things set up), and some weirdness crept in. So I believe I'll be exporting everything and rebuilding my site from scratch. I may also take the time to flip over to a new […]

[Ed. note – I wrote this Sunday on the plane back from Charlotte, but forgot to publish it right away.]
Turns out that on an E190, the row of seats directly in front of the emergency row do NOT recline. In fact, they seem to be even more upright, if anything. So, if you like to doze […]

Headed down to Charlotte today for a long weekend with my parents. First time I'll be seeing both of them since Christmas. Unusually for me, neither of my siblings will be there, so that will be a new experience. Excited to get some riding in with my mom at the stables she works at, as […]

Well, I've been meaning for a while now to begin posting with more regularity than I have. So, in an effort to do so, I'm dedicating myself to making at least one post a week. Tossing about an ongoing theme, perhaps. Sadly, I can't talk about one of my passions here, since I work for […]

Well, it seems I'm now left without any musical groups to participate in. The one person whose group I was performing with, Maria McNeil, has just informed me that she's going in another direction with the group. Saddened by this, to be sure, but she made it clear it wasn't anything personal or professional, and […]
