The Three Hundred and Fifty Eighth...

Number Three Hundred and Fifty Eight:

Home, Breakfast, Eggs

Closer and closer to home plate. Did I mention I am in Noah Scalin's new book, Unstuck? I haven't gotten a copy yet, but I know I am in there, in the "look how easy it is" inspiration section. I look forward to getting a copy!

The Three Hundred and Forty Third...

Number Three Hundred and Forty Three:

It's starting to get to be that time in the Fall when it's dark when you leave for work, and come home!

The Three Hundred and Thirtieth...

Number Three Hundred and Thirty:

Home, Dinner, Egg Sandwich

Quick bite after work, headed to the Poe Museum for their awesome Poe Memorial Service. Today is the anniversary of Poe's death. A fair amount of people showed up, plus Richmond Macabre authors Dale Brumfield, Charles Albert and Andrew Goethals read selections intermingled with actual Poe stories read by museum staff. It was kind of nice to have a couple of beers and chat with the other writers in the book in a less formal atmosphere (meaning with booze). A grand time! Note the decoration of pumpkin in the window; it's the most wonderful time of the year! ;-)

The Three Hundred and Twenty Fourth...

Number Three Hundred and Twenty Four:

Home, Breakfast, Eggs

Despite my tired look (Hey! Give me a break, it's 5 in the freakin morning!) I was excited about today. Not only do I do my Friday Breakfast Blend on WRIR 97.3, but our interview on one of my favorite local radio shows Wordy Birds aired today! It sounded great too! You can listen to it here. All in preparation of the Book Launch Party at the Poe Museum this Sunday from 2-4PM! Should be wonderful time!

It is starting to stay darker in the morning longer, and get darker earlier in the evening. Fall will be upon us soon!

The Two Hundred and Ninety First...

Number Two Hundred and Ninety One:

Home, Breakfast, Eggs

The day after Hurricane Irene came through; sunny, calm, getting warmer. Lisa & I picked up sticks, limbs and lawn stuff from the garage. We still have no power, probably won't get it a while (I hope I am wrong), being that we are part of a small row of houses that have no electricity, many around us have it, the retirement home has it, that usually means we are probably screwed. Our awesome neighbors who do have power have given us an outlet to at least keep the small fridge cold, so that's something. I know there is way worse out there so....

Anyway, WRIR rocks. Last night, we had the radio on, searching the dial through the evening for ANY updated weather reports. The only one that was doing effectively was WRIR.

I swear, we tried all over -AM, FM - nothing but people either calling in about downed trees or political pundits trying to blame someone for nature. We roll in on our little LP-FM at the moment they were telling us where the storm was, what the conditions were and what numbers to call. And it was happeneing frequently enough to be awesome. As far as I am concerned, WRIR 97.3 is the GO TO station in a weather emergency, thanks WRIR!

the Two Hundred and Seventy Third...

Number Two Hundred and Seventy Three:

Home, Breakfast, Eggs

In June, we attended a showing of Kenneth Close's display at Quirk Gallery. We had the opportunity to buy the pieces as well; some great argyle color with various spaceship cutouts from 60s magazines. As soon as I saw this one in the gallery, I was all smitten on how it would look in the record room with some of the mid-century space album art we have on the wall. Alas, when we tried to put it there after picking it up last week, it didn't quite fit, due to the lovely aqua color. We did, however, find an even better place for it, in the kitchen nook near the vintage aqua clock! Lisa would like to aqua the whole kitchen, I am cool with that if we can get more cool stuff like this!

The Two Hundred and Sixty Sixth...

Number Two Hundred and Sixty Six:

Home, Breakfast, Eggs

The final Paint By Numbers napstache series! Ha! You thought I forgot! I think this is the final one, unless we get something new from a thrift store. This is a great find Lisa managed to score years ago, before collecting this was cool. The Last Supper, took the guy about 6 months to do in the late sixties. After having it framed he even put the information on the back:

I am doing my best "Thomas" in this one. Anyway, this is proudly displayed in our home, not so much for the religious connotation, maybe a lean to the master Da Vinci work, but definitely because it looks swell in our Fungalow!

The Two Hundred and Fifty Ninth...

I know! My posts are so boring these past few days! Hey, cut me some slack, Beth Brown and I have practically finished the Richmond Macabre book and it should be out soon!

TOMATOES!!!!!!!

One of the great things about growing your own cherry style tomatoes is that they just lay around everywhere all the time when in season. Kind of like that candy bowl your grandma might have had around the house, except healthier! Just so great to walk by and pop one in your mouth at random!

The Twenty-Second...

Number Twenty-Two:



Home, Breakfast, Eggs and Bagel

Time is an important thing in the morning when you have to be somewhere like a job or an appointment. I managed to scramble some eggs and post this! Wow! Efficient!
