Vacation Journal

In This Old Purple Town
“This song is about a man that tells the truth about things that didn’t happen. It seems to be a male thing.” -Glen Hansard – Introducing “Lies” at First Avenue – July 25, 2010 Most of this comes from an email that I wrote about my weekend in Minnesota. Sara… Read More »In This Old Purple Town
Welcome to Beaver, Iowa
For reasons that are slightly inexplicable to me, I ended up in Beaver, Iowa yesterday morning. I’ve always felt that Beaver is a town that looks like it “walked” out of a horror movie. For this reason I once (years and years ago) took a series of pictures called “The… Read More »Welcome to Beaver, Iowa
Vacation Day 7 – Couch Time

Why Would He Post This?
I don’t really believe in the Greatest Hits album concept. So it will seem somewhat hypocritical for me to reach back into the archives and re-post what I consider to be a classic of my past. But there is a reason for it, other than that I love the sound… Read More »Why Would He Post This?

Perhaps even more than Bill fears nature. I was… Read More »Vacation Stuff – Two

Desultory
A brief break from Africa for a moment. Over a year ago I signed up for a Twitter account. I tweeted briefly and then decided I could not be that self-absorbed. I already have an extensive website and a blog devoted to me, why did I need to take it… Read More »Desultory

The Future of Boone
When Sara and I went to Ottumwa I think we might of had a glimpse into Boone’s future if it becomes the proud home of a Juice Bar. I should start out by pointing out that on our way to Ottumwa Sara got pulled over and issued a speeding ticket… Read More »The Future of Boone
Ottumwa
