Random Acts of Journalism


- The best Fathers Day gift I received was just being with my children for more than a few minutes...although the salami gift was right in there.


- I am convinced I will always miss my father. Fathers day brings that home to me every year. Those of you out there that still have beloved parents or any of your love ones...I want you to know how lucky you are and hope that you don't squander your time with them. This is not intended as a personal plug but if it has that effect it's ok with me.


- I love summer in the Midwest but only as opposed to winter in the Midwest. I actually love summer all year long but if you are in the Midwest you have to leave to find summer for a good part of the year. I hope I continue to get the opportunity to leave.


- I am learning that the police department is not very communicative about the status of their investigation into my stolen guitars. They know who did it. Why can't they just get it done and let me know that my guitars are coming back to me? Arrest him already.


- Who is your favorite poetic songwriter? I can think of a bunch but there was a time when Jackson Browne wrote some beautiful poetry put to music. Neil Young? Bob Dylan? Ben Folds? James Taylor? Joni Mitchell? Bruce Springstein? Ted Nugent? (Just kidding on Ted)


That's all for now...just needed to check in

Ditto what you said about fathers/loved ones.

Bummer about the po-lice taking so long to get you your stuff!

Hey, I was listening to some Jackson Browne as I read this, an old song I had not heard in years - COcaine. Do you remember that????

My fave poetic songwriter is handsdown Bruce, next Dylan, then Ted :)
