Dark and cloudy in the Q today. And muggy despite the wind. Listening to Steve Hackett on the drive in. This weather started yesterday. In the normal world, you would expect a big storm. The sky seems to be trying to rain but has forgotten how. A light misting [...]
Damn – I thought it was eight weeks two weeks ago. Who keeps adding weeks to the calendar??
Well, that’s how long I have left in Kuwait. I’ve been looking around the apartment and basically I don’t have any more to bring back than what I brought in (except the Tang). The linens [...]
While we’re talking about music and not my desert existence, let’s do one of my world-famous “blue light” specials!
Many years back, my sister Terry was a DJ for the radio station at the University of Connecticut – WHUS. She did an alternative show there for a while (before switching to Irish music) and sent [...]
Amazing! Three excellent rock records came out in the past month. Who’da thunk it?
Pearl Jam – “Backspacer” I really liked their last record – more than any that came after Vitalogy. But this new one is a different animal. What you’ve got here is eleven short, fast, tight, fun pop [...]

I handed in my notice on Sunday. Right now, I’m going to be coming home for Christmas. Don’t have a job yet, but I have hope. I’ve had some nibbles and it may just be easier if I am there and able to interview. And Kerry is working now. Started [...]
Remember TANG- the orange drink mix? Remember the “drink of the astronauts” (back when we had astronauts)? Maybe NASA still uses it, but I can’t recall seeing it since I was ten. Seems to be a reason. It doesn’t do much business in the States anymore – at least not in [...]
Oh Jon & Kate – Please go away
Now
We don’t want to hear about you ever again
I do not want to see your faces on my TV screen
I do not want to read about you in a newspaper, magazine or trade publication
I do not want to glance at you when my Yahoo homepage opens in the [...]
Since I’m quickly approaching 14,000 and have less than six gigs left… it appears I have added a few things. Much of it is a raid on my home collection, but I’ll break it down anyway. Of course, I have continued to add my Songlines CDs of new world music – adding the [...]
