I’m composing this earlier in the week, though that’s not why I chose the title that I did. When this goes live, it will be Sunday, December 17th, and I am looking at time off until the turn of the year. This was planned – in fact, even necessary. If you don’t use it, you …
Welcome to another Installment of Five-Thing Thursday! Here are Five Things that I want you to know: Thing #1: Sometimes, going through the discography of a band that you’ve fallen out of touch with, musically, can bring some really delightful surprises.

Welcome to the Thanksgiving Installment of Five-Thing Thursday! Here are Five Things that I am Thankful for: Thing #1: My Health and the Health of that of my Family.
