It wasn’t a long part of my professional career. It was only a couple of years. I remember the questionnaire I had to fill out when I applied for the job at Countrywide Home Loan’s Full Spectrum Lending Division: How do you feel about sub-prime lending? At the time in 2006, I didn’t even know […]

Did a show last night with an old friend …we did one Thursday, and there’s one more tonight…last night’s show was better than Thursday’s IMO even though it meant I worked harder…maybe that’s why I got seven hours sleep last night…Just two guys with acoustic guitars; sometimes you don’t need anymore than that…the Thursday night […]

after all that drama from the media indicating we’d all be washed away to Eternity…NOTHING happened–it’s called RAIN…went to the OTWC, played a bunch; sang some stuff…had a fair amount of fun, lost my shirt (that’s NOT a metaphor) but it was MY idea…told a friend I’d see him again Friday evening at a different […]

went to the Library to kill time…found Keith Richards’ bio…I refuse to believe his childhood memories came from his brain alone…either that or he wasn’t nearly as fucked up in the 60s and 70s as I was led to believe…went to the open mic at the Music Café in Damascus this evening…it was wonderful…me and […]

Back in January, this little headline caught my attention: Vaccine for Cocaine Addiction Discovered. Wow! Now there’s something I’d never heard of before.
