I have a new roommate. A street dog. She showed up a couple of months ago, unannounced, and decided not to leave. (Like many of my former girlfriends.) She’s cute, exotic looking, and since that’s all I require, I was instantly smitten. Me being a convenient and easy source of food, so was she.
Almost everyone […]
Loved this cartoon, sent today by alert reader Mary Carol Moore. Maybe you can relate…
Coincidentally (or not) I have a new CD (and T-shirts) with a title song that riffs on this very subject: Analog Brain In A Digital World
This has nothing to do with bailouts, derivative traders, or sub-prime mortgages. It’s about my little home town bank and how they make me smile.
Every day just inside the front door there’s a table with cookies and coffee for the customers. People can just help themselves. And believe me, they do. They go through those […]
Warning: bathroom humor alert.
Sorry, but I couldn’t let this go unreported.
A company in India is currently developing a soft drink made from cow urine. A major Hindu cultural group wants to market it as a healthy alternative to Coke. (I’m not kidding.) Since marketing is everything, the choice of a great name is a major […]
I’d been looking for the recording of Steve Winwood singing “Nobody Loves You When You’re Down And Out” for a long time. My sister-in-law Linda found me an audio track and, unbelievably, a VIDEO.

(It’s an 8mb Quicktime file, […]

In case you missed it, “60 Minutes” recently aired a story about a couple of paleontologists who have blown […]
I brought my Baby Taylor guitar along for a cross-country flight to Oregon. It’s great to have around for practice because it’s small and fits overhead in the plane, no problem.
As I boarded United Airlines, a flight attendant surprised me by considerately offering to put my little guitar up front in the closet. I said […]
You guys have been great! Thanks for voting for your favorite version of the title song, and entering your Analog Brain definitions for the t-shirt contest. Now I’d like to run some cover art by you and get your feedback.
Below is a short evolution of cover ideas. I thought it might be fun for you […]
I’m house and dog sitting in Kailua (Oahu) for my friends Ev and Jane. They left today for the mainland so it’s just me, the house, the dogs, and 2 cars. Jane has a Subaru just like mine, and Ev has a jeep convertible. I can use either car, so to go buy food this […]
Last January when I released the “World Newspapers Celebrate Obama” poster, the campaign chairperson of Idaho offered to personally hand one to President Obama at the staffers inaugural party. Until recently, I didn’t follow up with her to find out what happened. Here’s what she wrote:
“I was at the inaugural ball that was only for […]
