Friday night, Carbon Leaf played The Recher in Towson. This show had been on my radar since it was announced earlier in the year, but I didn’t buy my ticket until a week before. Meanwhile, the date tickets for their May show in York went on sale I bought one. I don’t like going intoContinue reading “Friday Night in Towson”

The Difference a Week Makes
Last weekend… This morning… As late of yesterday morning, the trees hadn’t even started to flower. Spring comes at you fast. My sinuses will certainly be feeling it this week.
Some Perspective
I love listening to Howard Bryant on Weekend Edition Saturday, but damn, that fridge got thoroughly nuked.

Signs of Spring
I saw a bird’s nest in a tree outside the office early this afternoon when I was outside on my lunch break. Maybe not a sign of spring — it’s too early for a bird to have built a nest — but it’s still a lovely thought, that spring will soon be here and lifeContinue reading “Signs of Spring”

January WordPress Codery
During January, WordPress is running a Bloganuary theme. The idea is that, to get people blogging again, WordPress will send out a prompt that people are to write a post about that day, and they’re supposed to use the prompt and the bloganuary tag. I signed up for this, but the first week of JanuaryContinue reading “January WordPress Codery”
The Loneliest Christmas Tree
There is a Christmas tree at the office this year, even though the office is quite deserted in these Omicron times. Since almost no one will have seen it, I’m sharing it. A little bit of Christmas. I didn’t even put up my own tree this year.
