Last Thursday, I Lied 26 Aug 2013 | 07:31 pm
Er, I misspoke. I was wrong. Flat wrong. The wrongness, it burns. I messed up. Brain fart. Don't be mizzled, brother; I misled you. I disseminated misinformation to the point of dissimulation. I bore ...
There's A Spot In Me Heart Which No Colleen May Own 25 Aug 2013 | 08:21 pm
I always dreamed of meeting a girl with long, silky brown hair, really long legs, and a nice rack. Pained me to learn only the males had antlers. On another front, it's nice to see the animal kingdom...

(Earlier on Sippican Cottage: Another In The Long List Of Songs I Don't Like That I Like ) There appears to be a magical barroom somewhere in Great Britain where you can stumble in on an odd night a...
Cooking With Gas In The Kitchen 24 Aug 2013 | 12:27 am
[Editor's note: first offered in 2007. Look at anyone else's blog from 2007. It all sounds like insane drivel five years on. We're proud to only offer sane drivel here, year in, year out] [Author's n...

Regular Folks Aren't Regular Any More 20 Aug 2013 | 05:43 am

No Pressure Is The Worst Kind 16 Aug 2013 | 05:36 pm
I remember soft June evenings. The moon was still trying to get up the nerve to outshine the bully sun. The stars marched slowly toward your eye, coming into view over some horizon unseen. I had an i...
Round Midnight 14 Aug 2013 | 03:09 am
A kind of perfection, I think. Right time, right people, right material -- firing on all cylinders. It's eminently accessible. Overlooked a bit for that. Jazz aficionados occasionally veer into audio...
