Hi all! It was a strange week last week. Well, maybe not: it is winter in New Hampshire, so cold! I have several major projects at work, so busy! Anyway, in some ways a lot going on, in others not much at all. But one thing I did when stuck inside was play music. When I say “play”, I mean on a keyboard with my fingers.

I wrote and recorded two songs last week. One was a simple, and somewhat silly, blues. The other was, well, I’m not sure, perhaps a prog-pop instrumental? You can read about it and listen here and tell me what you think it is. Even without a genre, I like it :)

I do enjoy playing, writing and recording music, so that I was able to make two recordings in one week made for a very good week.

Hello everyone. It was an odd week. The weather was, well it is January in New Hampshire. Enough said. One of the things, although I did get out a bit, no matter the weather, and I did a lot of blogging and spent a lot of time on music, I also did some reading, perhaps a little more (non-news/current events reading) than average. And it was different…

When I was a freshman at Ohio State there was a comic strip, Thorn, by a man named Jeff Smith in the student paper. To say I picked up The Lantern each week only to read “Thorn” would be an understatement. I had little use for the paper once the comic was gone.

So, here we are xx years later and I finally decided to read Jeff Smith’s magnum opus, Bone. “Bone” was originally released as a series of “comic books”, but makes up one story. That story was complied into a large graphic novel (1300 pages), “Bone”.
