As a few of you know I renewed my driver’s license about a month ago. Well, that little plastic bugger still has not arrived and I just found out today that because of a little post office snafu it was returned and destroyed (for my own security and for that I guess I ought [...]
“They’re taking pictures of the man from God, I hope his cassock’s clean. The burden of being our holy fellas your halo’d better gleam.
What of all those wayward priests? The ones who like to drink. Do you suppose they swap their blood for wine like you swapped yours for ink?
You wrote me oh so [...]
This was such a cute, classic breakfast place. Aside from the fact that they served liver for breakfast it was a bit like the Berryland Cafe back home.
I can’t help but suspect that the record store scenes on One Tree Hill are filmed here. Not quite as good of a selection as Sonic Boom [...]
One of the things I learned while touring The Latimer House that I keep thinking about is the fan language that Victorian Era women would use communicate with men.

I’ve taken a cue from Grandkids and found ten great songs that are written about North Carolina (and [...]
My Friday night was spent watching The Go-Getter with friends. This is rumored to be the film where Zooey Deschanel met M. Ward (leading to the lovely record by She & Him).
M. Ward’s songs make up nearly all of the film’s soundtrack. I couldn’t help but be reminded of how important his 2003 release Transfiguration [...]
