  • Fire Update

    October 28, 2003: So I went to get something to eat and the folks ahead of me waiting for a table were evacuees, straight from Big Bear.

  • Breathe through Your Nose…

    October 28, 2003: It's the third day in a row that I haven't been able to go to work because of freeway closures related to the fire. I want to make it very very clear: this is not like a vacation! I'm going buggy. I think I'm going to brave the air quality and leave this fortress for…

  • Musical Cobwebs

    October 28, 2003: For years, I've been fretting over the ultimate fate of the many cassette tapes I have of music I've recorded either solo or with bands that are now defunct.

  • “Ich bin ein Cal-eee-fornian.”

    October 3, 2003: Well, for the first time in my life, I voted for a Republican. Sure, a socially liberal Republican, but a Republican, all the same! Folks outside of Cal-eee-fornia can't totally understand the way outgoing! Governor Davis goaded us into this: Rolling Blackouts. Budget Battles. Unemployment. Businesses Fleeing. TRIPLING THE CAR TAX. DRIVER'S LICENSES FOR ILLEGAL…
