On the Importance of the Requiem
It’s nobody’s business what you mourn or celebrate or commemorate. I reflect on things that feel important to me to reflect on. That list might not be the same list that you hold on to. That’s OK.
Thursday Throwdown: September 10
Several of these bubbled up in a “Let me guess what you like” random music generator. I mean, it’d be a pretty sad day when there wasn’t something on a list that I didn’t know all the words to – from Glen Miller and Louis Prima to released-this-year up-and-comers. I likes me some music. Be […]
Tomato Panic
Every September, I inventory the jars in my basement to ensure that there are enough get La Famiglia through the crappy-tomato-months of winter. And no matter what the total, I’m never convinced it’s actually enough.
Thursday Throwdown: Welcome to September!
These songs have nothing to do with the calendar month. As we discussed a few weeks ago, this is going to be a (mostly) “What I’m listening to this week” feature, sprinkled randomly with themes because sometimes I can’t help myself. So… September.

Thursday Throwdown: August 20
Time to relax with a glass of wine and a calm mix to end the week
Roundup!
New feature! A round up of a bunch of things that have amused me in the last few weeks.

If an artist’s brushes are dry, it’s because the artist is not painting. If they are not painting, they are not making art. And the thing that defines an artist is, well, art. I fancy myself a writer, so I’d best make with the writing, right?
Thursday Throwdown: Symphonica
Hands up– who knows Rossini’s Barber of Seville (and has only ever heard it) because of Bugs Bunny? When I was a wee lass, my Aunt took me to the opera every year or two. I enjoyed it to be sure, but it was always funny to me when my introduction to one of the […]
