Being of Sound Mind
Released our 3rd EP this past Friday. It's available on all streaming platforms I just don't promote them as an indie artist. I'm told it's a cross between SIlversun Pickups and Elliot Smith. I don't like to label these things...

People think my drawing are odd, but you know what?
Art imitates life. What can I say?

I'm so partial to a bright sky

In the summertime
In the summertime I have time to take care of the yard. It’s much less complicated than the yard at my old house, but there’s more land here so there is the potential for more improvement. This year, my son and I want to extend the lawn behind the garage and also fence in the area next to the garage. (My son wants more…

I know life isn't fair
While I am intellectually aware of this fact, I don't usually dwell on it. However, today I feel like there's a big ugly speaker loudly broadcasting an announcement at me. It's repeating: "Remember, life isn't fair. Don't expect it to be. Just go back to work." I HATE this message. I really do.

Fontaines DC
What do you think about these guys? It's only my opinion, but for me they are one of the most important band right now! Post Punk wave is one of the biggest revelation since early 2000!

Square
04 March 2025 Tariffs drop like pieces of lead in pencil points ripping boundaries, and generational contracts fading into unrecognizable cursive. Today starts navy before expanding into unrelated colors. Coffee brews. Pen on paper. Music through the speakers. My head jerks to the past few weeks or months when today…

Light Language/Linguistics - is band aware?
I'm just figuring out that I've been channeling light language as long as I can remember. Google it - it's really fascinating. I saw a reel of Ed dancing live in concerts and I'm CONVINCED he has done it, too. Light language can be expressed vocally, with hands (think mudras), dancing, various forms of art, produced in…

29 January 2025
Rescind dangerous words and close your drooling wallet. Some New Year resolutions falter but this memo crashes. I know the spoken word, united AGs defend states vernacularly.

Sharing a poem that will feature in my forthcoming poetry book this year that I am dedicating to PJ
In honor of Pearl Jam's new and amazing album Dark Matter and the tour about to launch, I want to share a poem I wrote a few years ago that happens to share the same title. How I love that this is the title of their new album! It is about leaving my abusive husband and the life I'd known with him, devoted to him and…

The day after
The day after even the weather was awful grey and dreary the sky was crying oh, the clouds were fitting I felt heartbroken on Wednesday morning while Monday night there was so much hope in the air, and Tuesday was a surprisingly bright day: with sun shining, birds singing, leaves turning red, orange and yellow by the…

There's a blank page and I'd like to fill it
Do you remember when the place was hoppin’? Full of an assortment of beautiful souls and kooks Some were noisy odd ballers, others were quietly profound and sincere I often felt lost in the crowd Or, at least, somewhat hidden despite my Valentine sleeves Just, a cheerful chatterbox Being driven by love ever hopeful I…

Smoke signals from a neighboring island
Smoke signals from a neighboring island Or maybe dots and dashes tapped out on a Marconi machine? some idea of mine that needs to be catapulted into an open canal It needs to be released Doors kept shut too long need to be unstuck Junk drawers can’t hold everything forever Boxes can’t keep piling up in a closet! If I was a…

We struck up a conversation because he had a Pearl Jam Binaural tour shirt on in philosophy class.…
