A day off, some down time, some writing, some remembering what counts. It’s amazingly easy to get caught up in the rush of everything passing by, a passive observer of life. Even the smallest errand can quickly turn into wondering if this is what you’re really meant to do, or if it’s just easier … Continue reading Days Off

Dinowalrus You don't expect much on a Monday. At least I don't. I'd read about a British band, Everything Everything, who were coming over as British bands do, to try and break America.

Access All Areas music and a favorite song
I've now made a playlist of all the songs mentioned in Access All Areas for amusement and exploration.
