Good Morning Son, I Am A Bird
“Sara spelled without an ‘h’ was getting bored
On a Peavey amp in 1984
While Zak without a ‘c’ tried out some new guitars
Playing Sara-with-no-h’s favourite song…”
-Ben Folds – “Zak & Sara”
Ben Folds is one of the most entertaining live performers I’ve ever had the good fortune of seeing. He owns both his piano and the crowd, [...]
Winning the Sleep War
“There’s a full moon over Galway Bay tonight
Silver light over green and blue
And every place I travel through, I find
Some kinda sign that you’ve been through…”
-Steve Earle – “Ft. Worth Blues”
I love this picture and am a bit wistful when I say that you won’t see many more of these because we are winning the [...]

Z’s Music Monday: Radiohead – “Pablo Honey”
“All the things you got,
all the things you need
I bought you cigarettes,
and pried the company
to come and see you, honey…”

Shotover Country Park sits a few miles east of the Oxford city center. The south and west faces of the hill are wooded and engraved with walking, riding and cycling trails. And, on a rare sunny January day in England, it was our destination for a morning walk.

Young American, young American,
She wants the young American
All right, she wants the young American…”
-David Bowie – “Young Americans”
If David Bowie is right, then Z will be a very popular young man in a few years as he is now a bonafide American boy. We [...]
Z’s Music Monday: Joni Mitchell – “Blue”
“Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You’re sad and you’re sorry, but you’re not ashamed
Little green, have a happy ending…”
-Joni Mitchell – “Little Green”
I’ve been listening to far more Joni Mitchell lately than a man in his mid-30s should. This is especially [...]
Airportman: Air travel with an infant and why Air Canada sucks
“He moves efficiently
Beyond security
Great opportunity awaits
Airport fluorescent
Creature of habit.”
-R.E.M. – “Airportman”
I had planned to write a post about our family Christmas in Canada, but I think the pictures tell a better story than I could. Plus, my family reads this blog so I can’t tell the good stories from the holidays. I do want to [...]
Constant as a northern star
“On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
And your face sketched on it twice…”
-Joni Mitchell – “A Case of You”
