I've been feeling shy about my blog lately. I'm not really sure why. There's not really a specific event that triggered this reluctance to share my life on the internet, more like a gradual neglect that's grown steadier and steadier. At first, over the winter, I'd didn't feel like I really had that much to... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I did something very silly. I traded by black electric bass for a nearly identical bass in purple. I love my new purple bass. I'm having a very difficult time focusing on doing anything resembling actual work because I just want to mess around on my brand new purple bass, whom I've decided to... Continue Reading →
I just got a new job. Funny thing is, it's the same job I've been doing for about a year now. I have the same responsibilities working on the same project, I have the same boss even, only now I technically work for a different company: The Green Building Initiative (GBI). I don't even have...

Before reading this post I recommend you read yesterday's post "Leaving". Three weeks ago I returned to Smith College for the first time in three years. Leading up to the trip, I was nervous. I had butterflies in my stomach for about a week. At night I had stress dreams about going back. In these... Continue Reading →
Three years ago I dropped out of college. Well, technically I didn't drop out, I took an "Extended Medical Leave of Absence". I've always been quick to point out this technicality. "Oh, no, I'm not a college drop out, I'm just on an Extended Medical Leave of Absence." It's taken me three years to come... Continue Reading →
"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?" – Sir Terry Pratchett, Going Postal I've been trying to write this post for five days. It hasn't been easy. It's almost like I feel that if I press that publish button then it's really true: Sir Terry Pratchett... Continue Reading →
In Bluegrass, there are a lot of songs involving trains. I guess that makes sense given that Bluegrass came about during the 1930s when there were a lot of songs about hoboing and working on the railroad and all that. I've been trying to write a train song for about a year now. I've had... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I celebrated my one year anniversary with my upright bass. I'd spent Valentine's Day helping out at the Grasshopper Shop and when I came home there was a bass in my bedroom. Now, my bedroom could accurately be described as a hobbit hole. It's long and narrow, it's actually a smaller than my half... Continue Reading →
This is a poem that I wrote a couple years ago in one of my fits of whimsy. I was looking back through my poetry this morning and thought that I'd share this one today. While I was hiding from the rain beneath the old bridge that spans the little river by the mill I... Continue Reading →
Hello. Today is World Cancer Day. I'd like to tell you about a friend of mine named Tracy Jalbuena. Tracy works in the Emergency Room with my dad. They were hired at the same time and so our families have been pretty close. I babysat for Tracy's kids, Noah and Tess. I dog sit for... Continue Reading →
