1. Time feels shorter because at my age it really is, and solitude is like sugar, something I can’t get enough of because it’s an easy rut and more of it isn’t necessarily what I really need. 2. The best compliment comment of the week came with my shadow shot photography at the art galleries […]
1. My recent experience in D.C. seeing the Andrew Wyeth exhibit at the National Gallery of Art was so visceral that I found myself holding my head back while looking at Wind from the Sea as if it was blowing on me. 2. I had been wanting to see a Wyeth exhibit for more than […]
1. Between the bee and the thistle, I felt the above picture should be named “Don’t Stand too Close.” 2. I was juggling taking notes, video clips and pictures at a recent event that I was covering for the paper when my high school motto for getting good grades came back to me: Just Pay […]
1. On Sunday I had a Sundae at a Sundae Bar during a Celebration Ceremony for my friend Martha’s birthday. It was Homestead Creamery vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce and fruit compote, topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with nuts and it was my first Sundae in about 40 years. 2. I tried to […]
1. I’ve been wanting to work ‘you need more cowbell’ into a sentence. 2. Believe it or not, the day after I wrote that, MC Yogi said that exact thing in his Saturday night show at YogaJam! Listen HERE. 3. In this case the word “wrote” really means “type,” like record album really means CD. […]
1. How to make a swing HERE. 2. Seen on Facebook: I started a new exercise routine. Every day I do diddley squats. 3. This weekend, during my first visit to Spikenard Honeybee Farm and Sanctuary, I held a honeybee in my cupped hands and was promised $1,000 if it stung me. It didn’t because it was a […]
1. My psychedelic days are over, but a camera and a pinwheel can still provide a cheap thrill. 2. See what I mean HERE. 3. I’m so sensitive that just putting on sunglasses can sometimes make me feel altered, like I’m stoned on a foreign substance. 4. It’s a twirling whirl of flirts in petal […]
1. What we have most abundantly in the garden right now: Mud 2. Last year around this time I had a Thirteen Thursday titled “The Latest Dirt is Mud.” It was about last year’s epic Floydfest rain and mud, complete with pictures. See HERE. 3. I’ve been calling this summer “The Summer of the Nerf […]
1. I thought of my six-year-old grandson Bryce (who got confused by the Great Oaks pool bathrooms that were marked M for mermaids and P for pirates) when I went to the bathroom at Mickey G’s Bistro yesterday. The ladies room there is marked with a picture of Audrey Hepburn and the men’s room has […]
1. Ziggy Marley’s people have checked out this blog. I was told that by a Floydfest staffer after I signed an agreement in order to be in the media pit and take pictures when he played Floydfest on Friday night. 2. He and/or his people were also in the Festival’s new Revolution Juice and Grateful […]
1. I’ve started calling our two chicken runs the “Alpha” and “Delta lot” after the parking lots at Floydfest, which starts today! 2. See why Ron’s “13 Things I’ve Forgotten” was my favorite 13 Thursday post last week and why I was moving my mouse back and forth in a twiddling my thumbs sort of […]
1. Lately I’ve been bursting out in song, singing the Beatles line ‘when I’m 64.” And now I really am. 2. My friend Alwyn is two decades older than me. Back in the day, she would never tell me or anyone her age. I only knew she was over 60 one day when I saw […]
