What I’m reading: In One Person by John Irving What’s on the iPod: Wild Angels by Martin Sexton Not long ago, a couple came to our door. They were Jehovah’s Witness followers, and since I have known some followers, I invited them in. I served them tea and we started chatting. The husband/wife team were…
What I’m reading: The Racketeer by John Grisham What’s on the iPod: Would You Fight for My Love? by Jack White A good day yesterday — one project draft done and another started. Plus I nailed down an interview that took weeks to get. It was worth the wait. There’s been a lot of talk…
What’s on the iPod: Dearly Departed by Shakey Graves Tuesday was a great day off. The music was the best I’ve ever remembered it. I was glad to get back here, though. While it’s always a good time on St. Patrick’s Day, it’s equally nice to come home and relax before heading off to bed….
What I’m listening to: Irish bands. All day. Derrintaggart Stone Circle, County Cork Eight years. That’s a long time to be blogging. Yet here I am, still wondering how I can be so lucky to have you all reading here every day. How ironic that I started this blog on my favorite holiday ever. I…
What’s on the iPod: Carrickfergus by Loudon Wainwright III Yesterday was one of those days where I was afraid to go near anything electronic. It started when I turned on The Weather Channel (TWC) in the morning only to find it wasn’t there. Anywhere. Verizon FiOS, with their infinitely awful customer service habits, yanked the…
What’s on the iPod: Quiet Little Voices by We Were Promised Jetpacks A new poll this week — take a look over on the right side of this page. Don’t forget to cast your vote! Happy birthday to Devon Ellington! I hope you have a lovely day, my dear. May it be a relaxing, stress-free…
What I’m reading: The Racketeer by John Grisham What’s on the iPod: A View that Almost Kills by We Invented Paris I was talking with a writer friend last week about work. Things are going well for both of us at the moment, but we’re used to the tenuous nature of the job. What takes…
What’s on the iPod: Unbelievers by Vampire Weekend So far, a really productive week. I’m writing this Wednesday afternoon as we wait for our “first significant snowfall” of the season, as they call it on the Weather Channel. I’m staring out at snow, which has been the case since what feels like January, so I’m…
What I’m reading: Swimming with Crocodiles by Will Chaffey What’s on the iPod: I Saw a Stranger by John Gorka I’ve had a good start to the week — two new projects and a new client meeting scheduled for the conference. Today I’ll be working on the new assignments as well as on a current…
What I’m reading: The Penitent by Isaac Bashevis Singer What’s on the iPod: Songs About Roses by Owl John Another month, another new beginning. Do you look at your calendar and think the same thing? For me, any new month (not just January) is a time to reflect on the last month, the month ahead…
