Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Google is my friend. And my enemy. And my editor. Tonight I had to read some more lessons for the class I'm taking which meant I needed to shut out the ambient noise. And with the return of 15 the noise level went up 10 fold. I grabbed my earphones and put on some music.... Continue Reading →
I like to be a contrarian sometimes. Sometimes? Oh hush. The following four things receive HIGH HIGH HIGH Critical Acclaim. Oprah's Book Club! Grammys! Oscars! However, I will advise you that unless you WANT to run into the kitchen and swallow a bottle of anti-depressants with that bottle of vodka and slip away into the night...well....then you'd...

Do you love classical music? Do you follow the Classical Music awards category for the Grammys? Well, if so, then you need to be following Miss Music Nerd. She was chosen to be an official Grammy community blogger for the Classical Music category. It's pretty cool because they found her (it was not something she... Continue Reading →
I just had to share these two things to escort you into the weekend. I'm still quite flabbergasted from yesterday's unexpected promotion of my post to the main WordPress front page - which explains why there are all those comments! I'm used to 1 or 2, not 30!!

Tonight was Only Child night out. IOW I bought myself one ticket to a concert to see Alanis Morrisette. I go by myself because no one else would be as into it as me 🙂 Well, perhaps that is not entirely correct as there as another woman there by herself who definitely was as into... Continue Reading →
I saw this just now and was inspired. On my political blog email list there has been talk about what song is running through their head now that the election is over. And then it hit me that it had to be this one: What I don't understand is why the guy writing that article... Continue Reading →
Ah, 1972. This song came on the radio this morning and I realized that it is the oldest song that I remember in it's correct time frame. You know what I mean? I specifically remember this song when it came out. Why? thanks to Wonderama! Who remembers that show? For my time frame the host... Continue Reading →
I got this idea while writing a comment on a post by Dee, so if the first part of these seems familiar you know why. Whether you are totally into music, a musician yourself, a songwriter, or someone with no special connection to music other than you simply listen to it - I know you... Continue Reading →
