In my internet conversations and explorations I’ve come in contact with a variety of people, many of whom I might not otherwise have been aware of. One is a blogger/commentator by the name of Brendan Skwire. Now, I must say that I am not a political animal, and I have little interest in politics. I …

I’d love to fix the rss feed and customize the presentation of this blog. I’ll do that when everything else is done, in 100 years or so. The feed got screwed up when I upgraded to 2.2. I also lost my theme and all my widgets, like MyBlogLog. I guess I should have addressed those …

Most of us love pay day, it gives us a chance to catch up on bills or whatever. Today is my pay day. I pay for spending several days with GD1, and the weekend with her and her 2 siblings, ignoring all my work. We had a wonderful time at the West Michigan Bluegrass Music Association …

I opened yesterday’s FREEP last night and found this. Regulars may remember that I wrote a little about D2 relocating to the city in question, as a teacher in the schools mentioned. It would appear, from the comments on the FREEP site that plenty of people have opinions on the Promise, but few of them …

Monday again. Thanks to help from all, the yard is looking pretty good. I’m going to need roller skates to make it through this week, but waiting at the end is the West Michigan Bluegrass Association Mayfest. We’re taking GS3 and his sisters, GD1 and GD2. It should be fun for all of us, and …

So, my Mom has been sick. She is a little better now, and I’m relaxing a bit. Due to Mom’s illness, I’ve been driving around the suburbs north of Detroit nearly every day for 4 weeks. This is unusual, I usually don’t go out that much. I’ve had a few way too close calls, I’ve …

Papa and I recently worked out a schedule of bluegrass festivals and events that we will attend this year. We mapped out his holidays, compared his vacations days to our usual tour of festivals, and tried to figure out what was best. We decided to attend the IBMA Fan Fest again this year. Last year …

For the last several years we have attended the Lewis Family Festival in Lincolnton, Georgia during this week before Mother’s Day. This year, we’re staying home. Mom just got out of the hospital after almost two weeks. She’s at a nursing home/rehab facility near here. I think I can ride my bike up there, I’ll probably …

A while ago, I ripped all our tapes and CD’s to the main computer. I’ll be investing in a turntable to do all the albums soon, perhaps before next winter. I just made a playlist of all the songs with a Pete Goble writing credit. It’s an interesting list, but probably contains less than a …

Granny’s home has the usual utilities, electricity, natural gas, water, and some others, satallite radio and TV, land-line phone and DSL. We also have cell phones. On Saturday, during the amazing presentation of “Go Diego, Go Live”, I lost my cell phone. It was in my pocket early in the show, I used it to …
