Wintergrass / ERC

On Friday night we went down to Wilmington to check out the Wilmington Winter Bluegrass Festival. It’s the same deal as other festivals, except it’s in a hotel. Weird at first but people just jam in the hallways and conference rooms instead of around campfires in a field. I have to say I prefer the […]

January books read

I’ve decided I’m going to keep track of the books I read for one year just to see how many I go through. I know I go through a lot. I can keep my list in a monthly draft on this blog and post it at the end. So here’s my list for January 2009: […]

I haven’t played with Illustrator in a while but I’ll have to start doing that again. It’s a little steep at […]

November trip on the Sporty

Day 1 Destination: Raleigh, NC. Got a late start, of course, because I left some things to do in the morning that I should have already had done. The day was gorgeous but it seemed like I was riding into the sun the whole time, even though I was headed south. A little bit of […]
