Movin’ Out: I reminisce about Billy Joel and his music

July 15, 2005.Reading time 16 minutes.

Dennise and I went to see Movin’ Out last night down at the Fair Park Music Hall. I know the show’s been out for years in New York, but this was our first chance to see it here locally. It was awesome. Of course, I should say that I’m INCREDIBLY biased. Because Billy Joel is […]

What Does it meant to have INTENT? (My questions about the Karl Rove thing)

July 14, 2005.Reading time 4 minutes.

I’ve got a question about the whole Karl Rove thing that I don’t hear anybody asking. It has to do with answering the charge that Rove was simply trying to “correct” the Time Magazine reporter, and steer him away from INCORRECT information. For those of you under a rock this week, Rove has been fingered […]

My Persistent Schizophrenia. I muse on the bifurcation of my two loves, and the paranoia I’ve always had about it.

July 13, 2005.Reading time 18 minutes.

The two loves of my life are working in the church and playing music. I have never done a very good job at bringing them together. And I’m about at a point in my life where I’ve pretty well decided I never will. That doesn’t trouble me the way it used to. In some ways, […]

An update on this. Had my appointment Monday with my dermatologist, who also happens to have graduated high school with my mother in Atlanta, Texas. He removed what was left of my small “bcc.” He said there wasn’t much left, actually, and that he thinks he got it all. Wants to see me in a […]

When Flies Swat Back: London, Terrorism, and the Continuing Insanity of it All

July 8, 2005.Reading time 11 minutes.

Ever since the attacks on London yesterday morning, I’ve been curiously monitoring my own emotional reaction. I have a memory of how I reacted to both 911 and Madrid, and I’ve been wondering if my reaction here would be much the same. Strangely, it has not been the same, and I’m puzzling as to why […]

Basal Cell Carcinoma (Yes, it’s a big word. Yes, it’s caner.And yes, I’ve got it…)

July 5, 2005.Reading time 3 minutes.

Got a call from my dermatologist today. It was good news and bad news, I suppose. The bad news is that I have a skin cancer. It’s a basal cell carcinoma. From everything I read, this is mostly good news, if you consider anything about cancer to be good news. Although I won’t really jump […]
