Just a quick fly-by to say that I am currently enjoying my vacation time off this week by sleeping in, getting a bit of exercise walking around the neighborhood, and going to see the absolutely amazing Wildwood which everyone really should see in the theater.
See you next week!
I’ve got multiple early opens at the day job this weekend, I need to focus a bit on the next Bridgetown Trilogy remaster, and I’m also getting over the one-two punch of flu and Covid vaccines, so I’m afraid I ran out of time for a blog update. I’m hoping I’ll be a bit more with it next week. See you then!
Hey all, Happy 2026! Hope everyone has a wonderful great year ahead.
I’m going to take a few days off from blogging to relax, catch up on things, and work out what I’d like to do this year. I will be back on the 13th! See you soon!
I am of course working today (our store only closes on Christmas Day), but thankfully it will be a morning shift, and will most likely entail a few regulars coming in having forgotten cranberries or extra cream or something. Then there’s Black Friday tomorrow, which usually isn’t too bad.
In the meantime, I’m going to take it easy and enjoy the day and the food. See you next week!
It’s been a busy couple of months here, and I suppose it’s finally time to reveal why I’ve been MIA here at the blogs. The short version? We’re moving!
The slightly longer version is that said moving has involved all sorts of paperwork, banking, thinning out of stuff we no longer want, packing stuff we want to keep, setting appointments to get utilities up and running, more paperwork, and shopping, all while working the Day Job, and that’s left me with not that much time to work on writing, let alone posting blog entries or even getting any daily stuff done on 750Words. [There’s also the fact that I just happened to pack away my journals as well, so those haven’t been updated for some time either.]
It’s going to take a bit longer before I’m back up and running again, alas. I’ve been sneaking in some editing of A Division of Souls when I can just so I don’t fall behind on my planned ‘remaster’ release schedule, but that’s about all I can muster at this point.
So yes, I’m still here! Hopefully within a few more weeks things will be back to normal. Thanks for your patience!
It’s been a whirlwind of a morning between our internet completely crapping out for some reason and having to reboot it…and receiving some incredibly awesome personal news a short time later! So yeah, I’m a bit behind on things right now and it may stay that way for a few more weeks. More on that later!
In the meantime, the above song popped up on KEXP this morning and I still say that playing that final chord on one of the original pianos in Studio One at Abbey Road is one of the coolest and most mind-blowing things I’ve ever done in my life. Today comes close, but this still tops it. 😉
Whoops! Sorry for the lack of posting this week. I was called for jury duty on Tuesday and it kind of put a kink in the week’s schedule. I’ll be back to normal next Tuesday!
In the meantime, here’s yet another super-local band I’ve discovered called above me, and they channel that 90s fuzzy-jangly version of shoegaze that I recall enjoying so much back in the day. [They’re so super-local that nearly the entire video takes place in the northwestern corner of this city, mostly in my neighborhood!]
Welcome to the new year! I’ll be taking a break from blogging for the next couple of weeks simply because I can. See you on the 14th!
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling good
I’m avoiding the internet for most of today as I’d rather not get entangled in all the doomscrolling and worst case scenarios and…well, everything else. I’m cautiously optimistic, but I know better than to spend the entire day on an anxiety high.
We’ll know the outcome soon enough. We can only hope for the best.
