LAST ROOM AT THE END OF THE LINE

June 3, 2024 by

The last room of a six stop roadie through England is the most expensive per square foot. It’s an impressive number due to the square feet. The smallest of the six, it’s on Bayswater, a half a block from the Notting Hill Gate into Hyde Park. Queen-sized bed in a queen-size bed slot tight enough […]

QUIET WORK OF AN ENGLISH DAY

June 2, 2024 by

Quiet work is the sound of silence. It’s the sound of fingers on a keyboard, pages turning. Not so much with guitar practice and a dog. But those get palm muted.

Your story is like every story: waiting to be told. You: But, Blogger Dave I sound dumb when I write it down. Me: What’s dumb sound like. You: It makes me sound like a blogger. Me:

BEATLES LIVERPOOL FROM THE M6

May 31, 2024 by

The Beatles Liverpool showed up on the way from Lancaster to Cambridge. Should I stop and look around? Pose by the statue? At the very least, sing a few Beatles songs on the way by? Me: Honey, take a music video of the Beatles Liverpool sign, and me singing. Her: Really?

LANCASTER TO CAMBRIDGE? MISSION POSSIBLE

May 30, 2024 by

Lancaster to Cambridge after eight days in Thurnham Hall? Looking at a four hour drive after six hours riding around the Lake District. Luckily I had a decompression day yesterday for lifting in the gym, a sauna, and a walk out in the fields before a nice dinner. Vacation, right? Or ‘Mission Possible.’

LIFE ENHANCING FOR CHANGE?

May 27, 2024 by

Life enhancing, like everything else, is different for everyone. For some it’s being an online social influencer, and it’s hard work for those guys. They get up at four in the morning, take a cold shower, and hang upside down on their custom inversion table. Why? More blood to the brain. But you knew that.

HOLD ON TO THE HISTORY ROPE WITH BOTH HANDS

May 26, 2024 by

Hold on to the history rope and hold on tight when you discover some of the horrible events from the past. I didn’t need to know about more women being convicted for witchcraft. Witchcraft is not something I’m familiar with and will never be familiar with, but it seems more likely that women tried and […]
