This is my official return to the blog.
(pause for applause.)
1) Our house is on the market now and we’ve had some stong interest already. I’ll post the MLS listing as soon as it is available.

Okay, I found this album in my mailbox about two weeks ago (thanks TL). It’s been on heavy rotation in my car and office — it’s catchy, and a couple of the tunes instantly stuck. It’s kinda like the black symbiote Spidey suit, but instead of giving me unending webbing, it whistles tunes in my head.
I have provided [...]

Not too much to say this week, it’s been busy. Although I did get to take a walk in near 70-degree weather on Wednesday right before the hail and tornadoes came through. It made for one of the most beautiful Kansas sunsets I’ve ever seen.
On to the music! These are the selections I’ve been listening [...]

Here’s an album I’ve been listening to this week. Every time I listen to it, a different song hits me — never the same song twice. Curious….
Bonus Track below the Matt Pond PA. I just found out about Kate today and I like the track I’ve posted below. Find more out about Matt Pond PA [...]

It’s not that I won’t love these songs someday…it’s just that I’ve only met them within the last week, day, or hour. How can I say those words without more history between us? I’m taking love back, right now.

The last couple of days, I’ve been repairing a hole in our dining room ceiling, sanding, priming, and painting. Meanwhile, I’ve had on Minnesota Public Radio and occasionally CNN. Everything is abuzz with list of “The Top _________ of 2006″ (fill in the blank with “celebrities,” “movies,” “songs,” “albums,” “newsmakers,” and so on). Most of [...]

And now, looking ahead, it must be asked: what do you foresee in 2007? This can either be predictions of important events or people, or it could take the form of personal New Years resolutions. It’s always such a reflective time. I’m reminded that the month of January comes from Janus, the Roman god of [...]

Last night, Steph and I went to one of her friends’ birthday parties. She was turning 50 and wanted it to be a memorable occasion — it definitely was. She had the Marching Cobras come in and perform. They’re spectacular. At one point in the evening, the members ran up and grabbed everyone and had [...]

Okay, I thought I’d share a complete album with you guys again after so many months. I just picked this up this week and heard it for the first time all the way through. Particular songs got a lot of airplay on the radio, so you may have heard some of this. I’ve really been digging this album [...]
