epiphany [ih-pif-uh-nee] a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience I could call the conversation in my head in early March a couple of years ago an epiphany. (More on that internal dialogue in a minute….) ….
“You are what you listen to…” appears in the title of 3 of my blog posts. Assuming there is some validity to those 6 words, what you recommend REALLY must say something!! The other day I mailed a flash drive to the first person who became a friend after moving to Orygun in 1976. Kevin…
…I am however a HUGE fan of the RPT button. A quick scan of my 2017 journal found over 30 instances of a entry like this: “what it means was on repeat” Or this one: “that earworm will not go away….and I’m liking it.” More than 30 songs “on repeat” in 2017. Several of them…
It’s been 43 days since June 27 and my last post to this blog. On August 1, 2017 I saw a great show by Ryan Adams at The Pageant in St. Louis. The first four lines of the 3rd song of the evening pretty much describes my state of mind since my 6/27/17 post: “I…
I’ve always loved a roadtrip. I’ve been on more than my share. There will be more. I aim to move even farther to the lower right on the bell curve that tallies up road trips. Our 2017 road trip is only a couple of days away. I’m expecting to put over 3K on a rental…

The acronym usually means Throwback Thursday, but it might also be short for truth be told, today’s big thing or turn back time…. On 3/9/17 it had a different meaning for me: “Ticket Buying Thursday.” I’ve never been much on making resolutions, but last weekend I decided that 2017 should be the year of LOTS…
If you’re a strict constructionist, the anniversary should be celebrated on March 6 each year. That’s the date from the calendar back in 2011. I’ve chosen to celebrate the annual event on the first Sunday of March, i.e. a day rather a date. And after this past weekend, which was one great roadtrip, I think…
I’ve written about my “addiction” to music before. I am prone to have a song, or an artist, “on repeat.” Looking back at my Facebook posts during 2016, I shared links to youtubes of 19 songs that I had listened to over-and-over-and-over-again during the year. Some of them were by artists that I was going…
