That’s Not Something…

That moment when you are trying to quickly transplant some Russian sage from one flower bed to another (before your piano student comes walking through the door) and you run into a little snag. Me: “Hey, Ken, you know that big long root you ran into when you were planting my commemorative tree for me? […]

Stressing out over singing into a microphone or baking? Almond butter chocolate chip cookies and an episode of “House” it is.

Okay, I better not release any more songs at the moment. I’ve celebrated with pizza, Milk Duds, Thai food, an introduction to sticky rice, and ice cream. I am going to gain 20 pounds.

I don’t know… I think my chorus might need some work.
