Yikes. Head’s spinning. Total discombobulation. FTP’s back up and running, but am too busy now to put pictures up. Have been sealing baseboards and furniture all day. On top of that, I’ve started feeling the holiday pressures. And now my boy is standing beside me yelling, “AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

I have a new musical hero, and his name is John Prine. If I could write music and words and melodies like him I’d be in heaven. Here’s a snippet from his latest single, Souvenirs:

I went to put a zip disk into my Iomega drive. It went about halfway in and stopped. I pushed a bit more forcefully. It wouldn’t budge. I pulled the disk out and turned it around. (I hate that the Iomega drive stands on its side … I can never tell which is up and […]
