History

Sometimes it seems like everything I do and like is informed by my obsession with history.

The Music Project

I've been listening, at home only, to my music collection from Z-A. Playing all the stuff I really know or want to check out but haven't gotten around to it enough. Started August 1. It's now October 12th, so that 74 days.

Just getting to Sunny Day Real Estate (but all The... bands are in the Ts) so I think it's safe to say we're looking at a year long project. So much music appreciation has come out of this, and the counterbalancing daytime listening.

I touched the ocean...

I touched the pacific ocean. Besides any spray that hit my face while on a cruise 10 years ago, this was the first time I got to drag my fingers through it, and walk on its sand.

The West

As my plane descended today toward Ontario, ca, I gazed out the window westward, toward sunset.  I pretended I could see the Pacific and that it lapped at the farside of the mountains that reached toward the seemingly slow moving plane.
