Unintentional collector

We all have something we appreciate so much that we keep way too many of them. Maybe we aren’t collectors-by-intention, but we look around and it’s turned out that way. For my friend, Pam, it was sofas.  She once owned a whole bunch of sofas. She had plenty of room for them, since she lived in a big old flat in Boston’s Back Bay.  From there she moved to an even bigger Maine farmhouse, where sofas kept following her home.  Read more >

Here’s a beautiful Christmas gift which I didn’t plant until a few days ago.  After the holiday decorations were put away, this Amaryllis took up a spot on my harvest table over by the kitchen window, where it appears to be content. This seems significant somehow.  Read more >

My pants are profound.

I just bought new pants.  There’s a pretty blue tag on them that says: Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward the wicked. I’m afraid I can’t live up to the expectations of my pants.  Read more >

Movies without popcorn?

Every time I think about the recently released actual calorie/fat content of movie popcorn, it ruins the prospect of seeing a new movie. I’m incapable of sitting in a movie theatre without the popcorn. In fact, theatre popcorn is one of the main reasons for going out to see a movie. I understand this is illogical, and that if too many other people felt this way, it would be bad for the movie industry.  Read more >

About Me: 

I was raised on radio, singing on my parents radio program in the Deep South since I was three.  I'm a lifelong writer and broadcaster, working on the air for decades. Today I'm a voice for KCET television in Hollywood, though I live in northern California. (Bless technology. I record from a nearby studio.) I write often about family and food and my family's history in Southern Gospel and Rockabilly music. I'm writing a collection of short stories and working toward (fingers crossed) producing a play, The Glory Road, with the help of a talented director, Greg Zerkle. Updates at www.thegloryroad.com.

My radio buddy, Dave Williams, and I began a website a while back, thinking we might turn out a book from our unique perspective (and we still might) both of us having been disc jockeys during and after the infamous Age of Aquarius.  (www.theagingofaquarius.com)
Among other subjects, we write about what it’s like to be this age, being grandparents today, after our colorful past as part of the groundbreaking, ground-shaking, rock and roll, 60’s and 70’s youth movement.
