But how this life will change him, that we don’t know.

Once a week for the last year I’ve been taking a day off work to spend with Boy Z – Boy Z and Papa Party Days. I’ve done it regardless of work obligations, choosing to arrange work around Party Days rather than Party Days around work. These days are like oases in the work week. [...]

New Wilco, upcoming Wilco and near Wilco

Well, A Free Man is going to have a little more free time available (I’ll get to that post soon, I promise). One of the things I’d like to do with that free time is to get back to more frequent music blogging. So, let’s get started with that, shall we?
A Free Man favorite Wilco [...]

And all the fallen leaves filling up shopping bags

The company that I write for has a number of American clients. Yesterday at work two of my co-workers were in my office talking about one of them that is giving us a bit of trouble. One of them said, “Well, you know how the Americans are – rather, ru…”, and then as she glanced [...]

A job, well, done.

Yesterday I gave my last lecture for the course I’ve been teaching and finished up the final practical session. It’s all over from a teaching perspective, though a pile of administrative muck and grading is slowly taking over my desk. But the bulk of the actual teaching is done and with that A Free Man [...]

I guess all this history is just a mystery to me

(For those of you who, inexplicably, couldn’t give a toss about college football, scroll down for some non-sports related fun and public humiliation. )
Lot of controversy on A Free Man lately, so I’ve decided to ease into something we can all agree as the weekend nears – the supremacy of my almae matres’ football teams*. Both [...]

Dreamer in my dreams

“Well there’s a child on the way
It could be any day
But how this life will change him
That we don’t know
Well there’s a child on the way
Gonna look just like him
One day, he’s gonna say
“Ain’t you my dad?”
Then he’s gonna look down and smile
And after a while, he’ll say,
“That’s for sure, cause you got my eyes.”
