I was doing my fact-checking to see if Amos Lee’s Mission Bell used the same El Camino as the El Camino featured in Emilio Estevez’s The Way when I stumbled upon a treasure: Amos Lee released a new EP, “As the Crow Flies.” Where the Hell did it come from? Who cares? It was more […]

Emilio Estevez’s ‘The Way’ w/ Martin Sheen. Good Father/Son Collaboration.
Some movies you look to watch. Some movies you look to avoid. Some movies you stumble upon along The Way. As in the Emilio Estevez movie, The Way. Why Did I Start Watching The Way? As the wind starting getting back into my sails I started listening to Amos Lee. Found a Ray of Sunshine […]
Review: Big Daddy’s Barbecue in Valparaiso, IN – The Best Rib Joint Y’all Ain’t Going to…Yet.
There are a few places in Valparaiso I like to hit with frequency. There aren’t many places in this town that I won’t like. And there are a few places that y’all need to check out. Like Big Daddy’s Barbeque in Valparaiso, IN. Located in the little strip mall on the east side of Calumet […]
[Album Review] “Sometimes,” by City and Colour
About two and a half months ago a ray of sunshine sent this goodness my way and asked my opinions on it. The band: City and Colour. I told said Ray that I would go through their albums and review them. I might have failed a little because all I wanted to hear was Amos […]
City and Colour
City & Colour is an acoustic folk / rock act from St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada. Nope, I’m not cool enough to know where that is. Though usually considered a band everywhere I read, City and Colour is the alias Dallas Green came up with for this solo project he focuses on when he’s not lead […]
#holdmeaccountable Day 27: The Best Week Ever
I’m told successful people make lists. I hate lists. That should tell me something. Well, I have lists. They’re just all over the place. Then I need a master list to keep track of all the little lists I have spread out all over the place and then a list to remind myself to look […]
#holdmeaccountable Days 24-26: The Charge in Recharge
I’ve lost the last few years of my life to my own fears. I’ve spent so much time in front of the computer that I forgot why I do it. So lately I’ve been spending time away from the computer in hopes that I remember why I got into this racket in the first place. […]
#holdmeaccountable Days 21-23: Thankful It Wasn’t Worse
It was the last at-home dinner with the OldOld Man before he heads off to Southwest Florida. Now, yes, we’ll be with him for Thanksgiving, but there was still something commemorative about the experience. Anyway, he once again showered mama and I with praise for taking care of him during his recovery from Heart Valve […]
#holdmeaccountable Day 20: Makes Me Wanna Take a Back Road When the Windows Are Rolled Down
Stay the night in Duneland in my weekend bed nestled between a Tony Little Gazelle & a Red Exerciser. I woke up craving pizza and Dr. Pepper for brunch. Is that how they do it… After some Duneland fall chores me and Gag took a trip out to his brother’s – Grmm’s – place. I […]
#holdmeaccountable Day 19: Halfway Out of the Dark
Today was about magic. Getting up early, helping family with winterizing chores before hitting the open road to Duneland. But before my GT could stretch her legs, I did a thing… I’ll never talk bad about the post office, again. I dropped off my bills at the post office and headed to the bank on […]
