Edge of a Broken Heart

Fuck me. I found out Jan Kuehnemund, the founder and lead guitarist of Vixen passed away in ‘13. Cancer. Jesus Christ, she was my age.

Soul Surfer

Nadia's Theme

Nadia’s Theme While not a big “Soap” fan, my mother used to be. I remember hearing this tune coming from the living room. This about the time - the mid 70s - I started fancying myself a writer...

SketchShe

SketchShe is a sketch comedy group from Oz. What is in the water down under? Holy cow! Weird weather here this summer. Almost more like a South Carolina summer. Beautiful days and afternoon ...

Ten Years After

Hard to believe. On last Saturday it had been 10 years since I retired from the United States Navy. We had Beanies birthday party (party might be a bit much, it was having some pizza and chee...

Home

After a slow start, I finally got my ass in gear and headed out to the beach. For the second day in a row. The weather in the mid-coast has been warm verging on hot and sticky humid. The roads a...

Mercury In Retrograde

A former Od’r mentioned on Facebook that she wondering if Mercury was in retrograde. A quick check of the Old Farmer’s Almanac - it is not. Next retrograde starts September 17th. You could have...

Literally

Poor Emma. She is going to be so sore after fucking all the troops. Once you take out the females (some of whom may well be willing to fuck her back), the gay guys, transgendered and other du...

Beach Baby

Beach Baby Weird things that pop into my head. This song always reminds me of my almost-first-girlfriend. Who else remembers that weird awkwardness of being 13/14? How things you never though...

Singularity

“Why do I remember these things when they happened so long ago? Half the time I can’t remember what I did last week.” “You think you are remembering them, but they are remembering you. You turn...

In This Life

Jeebus Christmas, what the hell in the water downunder? Gawd. I’m pretty sure I’d barter my soul to meet Delta. But it is winter down there now, and it is beach weather here. And strawberry pic...

Meet Daenerys

I joke. I did not go out and get a little white kitty today. But isn’t she fierce!

Daenerys

Connie

This just makes me sad. Such an undignified end for such a storied lady. An aircraft carrier pier side is a creepy place. It is built to handle almost six thousand sailors. An abandoned aircra...

5:15 AM

This is a little weird. I am still up at almost 2am. Okay not 515am, but close enough. The ordeal of staring at the clock all day waiting for the right time to go pick up Mireya to go to the c...

Wild Side

Mötley Crüe - I sometimes forget what an incredibly tight band they are. Things I am currently and officially tired of hearing about: Taylor Swift, Lady Gag Gag, Nikki Minajasourus, Katy “look ...


I watched the first episode of “HUMANS” tonight. I was a bit creeped out because while I knew Synth/Anita/Mia was a robot/android I found her eerily gorgeous. I think the concept was already...

In My Mind

Karen she’s the silver sun, you best walk her way and watch it shine, watch her watch the morning come. I must confess, Maine is making up for last winter in spades. The weather has done the su...

Thunderstorms

All day thunderstorms. This is Maine. There might be something to this “climate change” bullshit after all, although I am not conceding that humans are more than a zit on the ass of the problem....

Fly

Fly My age-inappropriate crush dujour - Maddie & Tae. The first time I heard them harmonize on “keep on climbing…” I thought I was going to cry. What can be wrong with crushing on a coupl...

Svetlana Kapanina

I am in love! Too bad she is married! The airshow starts about 17 minutes into the video.

Hollyann

In my mind / I can see reminders of a past decade / So far behind / Like the shadows linger at the close of day. / And we could see / We were timeless dreamers of another day. / And we were free...

More Than a Feeling

I woke up this morning, coming out of a 3 Benadryl haze. My first thought was that I had a cat in my refrigerator. Which - and I won’t try to lay claims on your experiences but for me - was pre...
