OK, fellow Xangans....I now love this place SO MUCH that I sent a friend of mine here....she's just starting her page....her name is http://www.xanga.com/Nice_N_Simple ...leave comments in her guest book and on her page!…

I was thinking earlier today of how much I enjoy Xanga and the fellow/kindred spirits out here. Talk about synchronicity! My daughter suggested that I might like the site, and now I'm commited (certifiable?...you be th…

I'm home by myself all weekend, so I've been diving into the vinyl collection. Other than Professor Longhair last night (Live On The Queen Mary), the picks have come from the F-G section. CD's are the best thing that e…

I have to apologize for an earlier post....seems I'm a teeny bit responsible for passing along gossip! I mentioned a week or so ago that former Beatle George Harrison was expected to die any time now. Turns out that IS…

Well, I DID go out and mow the lawn, and tinker w/one of the cars a bit. But that's about it! My yard is depressing right now...it should be in its glory at this point, but July's had almost no rain! It's one of the m…

What a night!....I'm driving along I-75 on my way home from work, & because of the earlier post, I put in a Carpenters tape. I come to a stop 'cause it's rush-hour traffic and..well...they were stopped! I'm in the …

A thought just occured to me as I was sitting here in front of the PC at work, and surfing through mine & others' blogs...what's the male/female ratio here at Xanga? Every single person on my list that I subscribe t…

Time to blog about another interest of mine, because I can and I want to post some more... Automobiles...but not just ANY cars. Antique and classic cars. Cars from the days when there were hundreds of makes that didn…

I don't have a lot to say right now. So I'm posting this just to make that known.......:)

Ok, I want to tell another story! This is about how I became aware of the fascinating topic of synchronicity... I had a part-time job at a bookstore from 1998 to 1999. This is like having an alcoholic work in a liquor…

Good morning! I have to go over & mow my wife's grandma's lawn in a bit, but thought I'd write a bit. Gypsy, our biggest, fattest, nicest cat, is napping on the floor beside me. He's lying down on a bag w/a softwa…

I love this xanga place...never know what or who you're gonna run into! I went to a new-to-me person's page & saw a quote by Rita Mae Brown at the top of the page. So being the research addict I am, I searched her …

"My intentions are good, I use my intuition/It takes me for a ride/But I never understood other people's superstitions/It seemed like suicide/And as I play the game of life/I try to make it better each and every day/And …

OK, I feel a compulsion to blog again...I'm at work, and listening to Thelonious Monk while I write. Charlie Rouse is blowing like mad through a tenor sax solo in an extended version of 'Round Midnight. Larry Gales (ba…

Hm....freeform typing as I think and surf and chat w/my ICQ buddies...are there women who AREN'T blondes who drive convertibles (yes, my wife)?...saw a blonde driving a FERRARI 348 w/t-tops off....another in a Beemer M3.…

Well, the children are home. Surprisingly, I'm well-rested and not frazzled by the drive! I took a slight detour on the way back home from Ohio. My parents' graves are in a very small, beautiful cemetery behind a smal…

Things I did today... -woke up -cleaned the kitchen & did the dishes -blew soap bubbles w/my youngest daughter -drew pictures on the sidewalk with her -went on errands in my older daughter's convertible with th…

OK, a public invitation! I searched all the Xanga blogrings for any regarding synchronicity. I found none. So I'm starting one! Anyone who's interested in meaningful coincidences and stories about them (and effects o…

It's about 11pm eastern time here in Michigan. A train just passed by (the tracks are about 1/4 mile away). I can't imagine what it must be like to live right by the tracks, like some of my neighbors do. A heavily loa…

I'm sitting here recovering from the 6-hour round trip involved in getting my kids. Driving's hard work! It's always good to see the children, but hard to get used to how they've changed since the last time I did see t…

It's about 10:00 am Eastern time here at work. Things are very slow so far! I have Fred Wesley's CD playing in the CD-ROM drive (for those of you who don't know, he's the trombonist extraordinaire who used to be in Jam…
