Playtime: 20100709
It’s amazing to see how much this little guy’s grown since July – one year old in less than a week! Nothing special to anyone but my family and close friends (and the future alphababy).

Sunset 13
Nine years ago I entered my sophomore year of college – the year I learned that there was more to life than good grades and Physics homework. That I had limits and couldn’t spend my life learning everything (much as I’d like) – there just wasn’t time to take it all in. My dad’s Olympus…

Card Design on a Tight Deadline
We’re gearing up for our little boy’s one year birthday next week and still don’t have cards sent…StacyZ’s rocking away now on the design – I thought I’d share what I sent to her as my “inspirational set” to pull from: http://www.treehugger.com/pingg.jpg http://www.partykiosk.co.uk/ekmps/shops/domestix/images/cat-design-birthday-party-invitations-x-8-770-p.jpg http://www.baby-lane.com/imgs/girl-birthday-invitations.jpg http://www.make-your-own-invitations.com/image-files/bk206-jack-birthday-photo-i.jpg http://ecochicweddings.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451e10d69e2012875949965970c-500wi http://www.michelle-s.com/femininemodern/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/regan.jpg http://novapages.com/ideablog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/invites1.jpg http://gabbafriends.com/images/gfcolin.jpg Fortunately she didn’t follow any direction…

Rio, Flame, In Love Again
While StacyZ was busy taking some maternity photos in a town north of here, I jumped around town to the local thrift stores to see what vinyl bites I could find. The haul was small, but a few goodies, I think: Paul Winter: Rio Les McCann: Tall, Dark & Handsome Ronnie Laws: Flame Jimmie McDonald:…

The family made a diaper/formula run this afternoon after a morning photography session (you can check that out at stacyz.com) and I made a quick run through one of my frequented Salvation Army thrift stores – a relatively disappointing run, but I did come out of the deal with an old wooden school desk for…

After church this morning the family ran into the big city for a quick Goodwill/lunch run. I’d seen a copy of Raffi’s “Baby Baluga” at this store a week ago and passed – it (and a copy of a book I’d seen during the same trip) motivated the return visit. The haul (at 79c each):…

Everything You Need to Know To Operate a CB Radio
I picked this platter of gold (Gateway GSLP-4500) up at the Grimes Goodwill a few months ago – as soon as the needle hit I knew exactly what I had on my hands – the source of Hooverphonic’s CB chatter sample in Revolver from “A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular”: • Breaker 1-9er, are there, uh,…

The Prodigal Songs
I’m currently exercising a type of exodus for parts of my collection – with changing needs for space in the house I decided it was time to let go of a fair number of records – I’m guessing a thousand were selected – and have listed the bunch on Craigslist. Tonight I ran through the…

Sorting 45s and Thinking of Boxed Sets
I love my 45s – but I’d be much happier if all the great 45s I’ve found had been in better shape than they are. Tonight I’m still sorting through my crates and trying to shift out the fluff. As part of my dig I ran through a bundle of Stax 45s. I’m not letting…

A Night of 45s
Tonight I’m doing something I haven’t done (but have needed to do) for a long time – sort through 45s to find stacks to take to the bin. For a year or two I’d buy any record collection I could get my hands on, thinking soon every stack of neglected vinyl would be carted off…
