Last week I started a new regime that involves playing more piano and implementing a healthier lifestyle… well I did work up my Bach and Debussy (though the Debussy has a little more work to go) but I only got half-way through my Hanon - I just got blocked when I got to the scales!  [...]

I love making grand plans - and small plans - and everything in between - call it an addiction. Of course following through is the hard part… what I’ve been doing is creating grandiose plans and then if I get a little bit of it done, I’ve accomplished a lot. I know setting realistic plans [...]

Today I went to the funeral of an old friend from high school.  I hadn’t seen him since school but I remember him well and he was truly one of the nicest guys - the type that’s always positive and always friendly.  You know how high-schoolers get moody & cocky a lot?  I never saw that [...]

I’ve been working on creating some new sites over topics I really enjoy (as opposed to some boring ones I have done in the past) and am focusing on high quality articles and images on them.  I had hired writers before who had done some mediocre work that I posted anyway since I’d paid for [...]

Ev’ry path cross’d and
ones you wanted to cross wrap’d

Forget the Chinese and the Russians, forget the current administration, forget global warming, french fries, cigarettes, and not wearing your seatbelt; a f#*kin’ smart guy may be to blame for your end (and… everyone else’s??).

Continuing with my Royal Blood post, I’ve been investigating Herman Op Den Graeff and who his parents are and came across a very helpful page on RootsWeb from Kevin Sholder that offers some useful things to study.   His studies are unique because as opposed to other researchers of this matter, he delves into the locations involved.
The locations are [...]

A week ago I found a new obsession - Ancestry.com!  I decided to start working on our family tree and signed up with them because they have massive amounts of records scanned and added to their database - census records, immigration records, birth and death records, and much more.  So I decided that getting a [...]

Dreams, music, people, colors, and other loves of mine - that’s what you’ll see here.
When I was younger I loved keeping journals though due to being too busy for my own good, haven’t kept one in years.  Then when I got a little older I (busily) collected lots of information on various websites of mine.  Now I’ve [...]
