wine-glass-bottlePicking up with my observations, which I have not been completely Johnny on the spot with of late, here are a few interesting ones from the first few days of June.  They include some notes about Willie Nelson, baroque music ensembles in Lexington (of twenty years ago), the summer bring on the music and arts festivals that can be so much fun, and lastly my own personal battles with GRUB 2 of late.

Crossroads

CrossroadsI am about to get married really soon… less than two weeks as a matter of fact.  I am not concerned about the marriage.  Actually looking forward to that.  However, I am taking the time to assess a few things in my life and feel like in some ways I am at a major crossroads.  Maybe the marriage has little to do with the assessment, maybe it is in truth much more with having turned forty just under two months ago.  Anyway, I have had these kind of major refocusing times in my life a couple of times before and good things have generally come of them.  Last major time I got rid of motorcycles and all the rebuilding equipment and eventually got into the dream of horses instead.

Observations 2010

Starting out the new year right.  My goal off the top of the bat is to post daily for the month of January.  That being said, my biggest first observation of the year is just how much of a cluster the holiday season between and around Christmas and New Years plays on blog readership.  I went from pushing close to two hundred daily readers in the first half of December to barely getting twenty some days in between the holidays.  Guess that says what most of you are doing at work, eh?  Just kidding.   In all seriousness I did not post as much during the that time either, but I am back on a roll now and so without further ado, some of the first of my observations for 2010!

Miniatures & Nostalgia

Toy SoldiersI am not sure when this will actually get published, as I am just burning up the blogging today apparently.  Long story short, but I have been going through some of my last boxes of stuff that I was thinking needed to be sold on eBay or otherwise donated.  If you are interested most of it has been old electronics, a few things purchased for others that for whatever reason stayed with me, the occasional model train item that has managed to slip the through cracks, some collectible cards, and a few miniatures – you can can click here.  It is that last group though, miniatures, that just stopped me in my tracks with a flood of memories…

Observing Again

WaylonSo a regular feature going on its third attempt.  Lets see how it works this time.  First, my sincere apologies for not posting so much this week, especially in comparison to the previous month.  Hopefully I will get that going a bit better this week coming up, but I am not making any promises.  Pretty much every week between now and the end of the year is going to be kind of crazy with things going on both at work and otherwise.  Additionally, I have done something to my back, maybe Friday or Thursday.  I can not pinpoint the action or even if there was one, but my mid-back left side especially is a bit painful and slowing me down on all these things too.  Well, enough of all that stuff, lets get to some observations.
