Well Worn In

Thoughts and Musings

Bloomsburg

I made it out to Bloomsburg this past weekend and stayed with my buddy Matt.  I drove through a snowstorm in the dark of the night on some back country roads.  There is no dark quite like a rural back country road at night, it was unsettling at times even. The storm eventually blanketed the area in over a foot of snow–28.5 inches in Philly.  Besides the snow, I had to make a mid-trip pit stop at Pep-Boys for a new battery.  So props to them for a speedy change out.  All in all, I met some great people, and had a most excellent time.

Winter Break…It’s A Wrapppp!

leave a comment

That’s right folks, winter break is officially a wrap!  Tomorrow by this time I will be back in State College, PA.  Break was a BLAST!  It was as I hoped it would be: filled with family, friends, and relaxation.  I received for Christmas a new Canon DSLR.  The New Year’s Pictures were taken with it, so look out for that stunning image clarity from now on!

Back to the real world, as they say.  Respect the grind.

Happy New Year!!

Wow!  2010?!?!

Here’s to a healthy, prosperous, and loving new year.

I brought in 2010 at my buddy D-Bo’s house in Manayunk.  We rang in the new year in style with 6 or 7 $5.99 bottles of Champagne.  Throughout the night I managed to lose my water bottle, my camera’s lens cap (found), my phone, and my desire to imbibe adult beverages ever again.

And now, the debauchery:

For Once, Then Something

By Robert Frost

Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs
Always wrong to the light, so never seeing
Deeper down in the well than where the water
Gives me back in a shining surface picture
Me myself in the summer heaven godlike
Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs.
Once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
I discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture,
Through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
Something more of the depths—and then I lost it.
Water came to rebuke the too clear water.
One drop fell from a fern, and lo, a ripple
Shook whatever it was lay there at bottom,
Blurred it, blotted it out. What was that whiteness?
Truth? A pebble of quartz? For once, then, something.

I don’t know about you, but for me, if you can play a sweet banjo, there ain’t much that can bring ya down.





House of the Rising Son? Yes.

Merry Christmas

A belly full
and no gifts left to unwrap
A black and white movie
and a good long nap

After dinner,
cards around the table
cookies and drinks
for the boy from the stable
