Why Do Americans Fail To Understand Science?

This morning I was listening to the Minnesota Public Radio Midmorning podcast. In particular, I was listening to a discussion of the topic “New polls indicates a dim view of U.S. scientific achievement” (listen to it here). The short of it is, there is a new poll that found (surprise!) the vast majority [...]

Wake Up, Change the World

I have been in a strange mood for the last few days. I saw a therapist for the first time in years to try to deal with issues related to my last few traumatic years and the current stresses of being cut off from my family. I’ve been a bit introspective and it [...]

A History of My Guitars

And now for something completely different…
When I was in 4th grade I decided to follow in my big brother Rhett’s footsteps and join school band. He had played percussion and I chose french horn. Now, if you know me you know I am not a french horn player but rather a guitarist. [...]

holy crap it’s cold out there…

It is viciously cold out today.  -14 degrees Fahrenheit  and with the wind chill it feels like -36.  Not a nice way to start a morning.
I listened to Brian Wilson performing Pet Sounds Live this morning.  I got a little choked up since that’s the last concert I ever attended with Rhett.  It really is [...]

June 4th – Trumpet Marine’s Debut Gig, Thoughts, Recollections, Ramblings

The Lavone

Sometimes I can’t really believe that The Lavone is history. Right now is one of those times. Yeah, The Lavone was a band, but it was a band in the way that your mother is a female. Which is to say, it’s technically accurate but fails to convey the whole story.
