Ok, so this is my official announcement that I plan to do a half-marathon this summer… Yeah, I know.  Still trying to process it, myself, but I decided it’s time I got off my butt and started moving again.  Yeah, I know marathons are usually run and, yeah, I know I don’t look like aContinue reading “Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego!”

It’s Friday… the first Friday in February… another month into the year. Enjoying the quiet this evening.  Again, Bon Iver seems appropriate.  This song is from the second Twilight movie, New Moon.  I said I would get back to it.  http://www.youtube.com/v/gH3XxMMxKf0?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

I remember hearing this song when I was driving back and forth from Patterson for rehearsals and performances of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”  It was winter and I was driving back and forth during dark winter nights through rain and fog and over dark, somewhat winding country roads.  It wasn’t only the weather orContinue reading “365 Day- Day 33-Start All Over Again”

I’ve been a fan of Kelly Clarkson since she won the first American Idol.  I really didn’t watch the show until the finale and I only watched it then because my daughter, who was a huge fan of Kelly, made me watch it with her.  Since then, I’ve been a believer and have followed Kelly’sContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 32-Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)”

This is my beautiful daughter and her beautiful family. There is Maseo, then Mandy and Matt, and then Uriah. This picture was taken during a family photo shoot and the boys were having fun throwing leaves. I love spending time with my grandbabies. We have fun playing and laughing, they are such a delight.  They’reContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 31-Brighter Than The Sun”

I like Adam Levine and Maroon 5.  I watched the whole first season of “The Voice” because of him.  Also, because of him, I heard this song by Gym Class Heroes, which I also like.  They’re pretty interesting.  I like that, too. Hey, it’s Monday… whaddya expect? http://www.youtube.com/v/T3E9Wjbq44E?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

I owe thanks to Steve McCoy for introducing me to a lot of good music.  Through him, I’ve discovered the Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, Beirut, Bon Iver, to name a few.  Now, that’s not how I heard of Stephen Miller.  I found out about him through my Genius Recommendations on Itunes.  I love theContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 29-God and Sinner Reconcile”

Lazy Saturday… Not much to say… So… I won’t.  Here’s the Avett Brothers. http://www.youtube.com/v/t43VgJ4U9_Q?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

I grew up listening to Country Music.  My parents liked it, so it was what we listened to.  I listened to the likes of Jimmy Rodgers, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, so many of the “oldies.”  Rock ‘n’ Roll came along and I dropped Country pretty quickly.  I didn’t come back toContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 27-If I Die Young”

I may have mentioned in the past that I find a lot of new songs from the shows I watch.  I think it started with Dawson’s Creek and the songs they would include in the show and then list at the end for anyone who was interested.  I was.  I’ve watched as that trend hasContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 26-New York”
