Dad said it was coming. No one in aviation can escape it. Constant exposure to high decibel sound over years. It started a few years ago. Very random. Well above 1020hz. I know that tone w...

So the news tells me Led Zeppelin is being sued by some band called “Spirit” who claims the Zep ripped off the intro to Stairway. Wow. Way to wait almost fifty years to stake a claim. Morons....

It is time for the political news to go on hiatus. I am so tired of listening to all the crap, especially the politically correct shit on the news. Wake me up when this is over. George Will sa...

The image embedded in the video for this song reminds me of a night in Kuala Lumpur. I wrote about that night, during my ‘99 cruise on the Constellation back in the bad ol’ OD days. The melanc...

It is raining. Thankfully. I have always liked the rain, and the continuous fire warnings are getting old. A relatively dry winter, not much rain plus plenty of wind means this end of the univ...

Strange days indeed. The day started with me getting up at 430 in the morning because it was too cold in the bedroom. I had the window cracked, the fans were off. Turns out it was 22° outside. I...

I watched a video on FB where they were tearing an EA-6B apart to scrap her. BUNO 158807. The second prowler I ever flew. It was like watching a bunch of thugs go at your first car with baseba...

I haven’t heard this song in years, and truthfully had completely forgotten it. I was a teenager when it was on the radio - I had no idea what the words really meant, but I knew the feeling. We...

The problems with the getting up at three o’clock in the morning is that by 730 in the morning you’re still awake but kind of sleepy. My apartment complex for the last two weeks has been reroofin...

Attention all potheads. You can stop reminding the world that today is “420.” Today is my nephew’s birthday. This is an actual quote from my pothead brother on his FB page: “Happy Birthday my 4...

I love, love love Lindsey Stirling. I am not a fan of dubstep, but the violin work steals my heart. How in the world she can dance and play amazes me. This entry is pretty much a dump getting ...

And far too hard to find… But it doesn’t mean you ain’t been on my mind. I was out and about today. Pretty day. Considered going to the beach, but I suppose I’ll do that tomorrow. Grab a lemon...

The writing bug has come back. I have so much shit bouncing around in my head. I had a great day. A couple of meetings with Elmhurst folks, talking about Beanie. Then up the road to ‘Salem’s ...

I’ve loved that song for 35 years. For most of my adult life I was the traveler. Always moving, always changing. It took a lot for me to slow the fuck down and relax. It still does. I get a ...

I watched the second episode of this series with every hair on my body standing on end. That weird place in life when we start becoming sexualized. I remember being about 12 and suddenly being ...

“I can say pants…“

It was such a mild winter. The mildest since I have been back in Maine. Last winter was a nightmare, snowstorm after snowstorm. Got stuck twice, and got rear-ended twice. Chicks both times, ...

In 2001, just before 9/11 I had started my refresher training in the EA-6B. In fact on September 11th I was scheduled to take my NATOPS exam, and had gotten up at 2am to cram. I wrote an OD entry...

There is always a backlash against assholes. I am not a Trump supporter, but I will now vote for him. Because BLM is so much more a bag of assholes than Trump could ever hope to be.

---

About once a week I get a minor bout of insomnia. I am a little embarrassed to even use the word because I have never known the feeling of going weeks at a time without sleep. I used to get anx...
