This blog shall stop at nothing and stay there, bringing all undiscerning readers up to date information about significant items of interest and intrigue that will certainly be interesting to someone somewhere at sometime. I shall also try to avoid being vague.
Golly, it has been a while since the last time I journeyed back into the ever dimming past to dredge up a heavily reedited concert memory for your reading pleasure! Well, all I can say is thank you for your patience and I’ll be with you momentarily as I try to think of a topic. …

(This post was originally written back in March 2016. Seeing as how the Dalai Lama ended up in the news recently and realizing that with Earth Day coming up, I’m doing my part to recycle. Here is a moderately revamped and hardly reedited version for you, dear readers. I know you don’t want me working …
Time to continue the journey down the rabbit hole, exploring of some of my late mother’s favorite films.

**A Word of Friendly Warning**I wrote this little piece initially way back when I was in the confines of a not-that-great Midwestern Lutheran College in Hypothermia Falls, Minnesota. Now, I have reedited it a bit, so if you’re one of those ancient folks who remember reading it in the school paper back then, it will …
Since the stifling summer is winding down into the cooler bliss of autumn here in charming Wisconsin, I have decided to go back to the cool well of concerts from my never-ending immaturity and my ever-fading youth. After all, given the COVID circumstances out in the world, even the city of Milwaukee decided to conduct their …

Yes, I know that Thanksgiving hasn’t even happened yet. However, I also know that it is closer to Christmas today compared to yesterday.
