This is a very well used hot air popper. We found this at Goodwill, I think. I use this to warm my hands. It also makes good popcorn. By the time my hands are warm, popcorn is done.  

There…

One person who saw this contraption asked me if I was growing something in there. Probably not what they were talking about, but my reply was, “Yes. Concepts and ideas!” 

This is the photography/scene capture section of Really Big…

*Note, I used this meme from Facebook. I'm sure everything will be okay with that. 

When I saw this picture, my first thought was, "Seen, my ass?" And then I thought, "That might not sound right."

I have watched a few episodes of Picard. I was a fan of Star Trek and also The Next Generation. Patrick Stewart portrays Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, Starfleet Retired.  

Casually listening while I was working on something else, I…

I am at home today eating peanuts and wishing I was at Five Guys. If today were just any other Wednesday, I could write about peanuts.

Good and bad, this is a most interesting time in the history of…

"Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?" (Janis Joplin, January 19, 1943 - October 4, 1970) ... oh, and a gift card to Amazon, Sculpey clay, a paint atomizer,  a couple ball joint armature puppets. I can do…

I know how not to lose a $75 guitar pick (plectrum). I started out by not buying $75 guitar picks. The rest was easy. 

Picks are rarely in my arsenal tho’ there are usually a couple in my pocket…

It has been a Saturday. It still is in my world. The best Saturdays that I remember were getting up on Saturday mornings to watch the Bug Bunny and Road Runner Show. Everything I know about opera, I learned from…

Here’s a progress report on the work I'm doing on the video for my song “Bring The Rain.”   

What you're seeing will be in several individual scenes that I'll use to create a single scene. The stop-motion animation and…

I stare at a blank screen. Hey, now it’s not blank anymore.  

This is blog number 203. I’m sure I’ve learned something. Something useful like, don’t try to write a blog when your team only has a one goal…

It’s Wednesday night. Kari and I worked a puzzle. Sometimes we play cards, sometimes we're busy. The important thing is each other, and us. 

The picture is of a puzzle we put together. I dig lighthouses. This one is…

Do you ever stop and think? That's the problem. I don't. Words escape without being filtered then they go flying around causing all kinds of damage. It's dangerous.

Sometimes, I have something that needs to be said. Often, it…

Let me tell you a story. 

Several years ago, I was at the recycling/garbage facility dropping off some construction debris from a small project. I wish I could have used it, but luckily there was someone there that wanted…

I’m just going to ramble a bit about hockey.

Of all the parrots I have known, the Winston-Salem Parrots were my favorite. These particular parrots migrated from St. Petersburg, FL during the winter ’02-03.  

The jersey on the…

It was a lovely Saturday afternoon at home, nothing going on. There’s snow and ice outside, it’s slowly melting. I am inside working on set building with some minor detail about something tedious. The phone rings or whatever it is…

Tonight at home around the kitchen, Kari and I talked a bit. We gathered up on each other’s day is what I mean to say. She tells me a few interesting details from her day, then she drags far fewer…

I’m still playing with cows. I do hope that by tomorrow there is something different on my mind. I was working with an idea and just wanted to see if I had sense and space to make it happen. I’ll…

Have You Herd? I have half a herd. I’m sure it takes more than two cows to make a herd. 

If You read yesterday’s da6d Daily Ramblin’, you know what I’m doing with the cows. I did a…

It’s Sunday Night – What are you doing? 

Tonight, I have been playing with cut out cows. Doesn’t everybody? Okay, in that case, somebody has to do it. Tonight, that’s what I was doing. I was injured on the…

Hide and Seek. The secret may be in being able to do both at the same time. 

I have an imaginary Friend whom I've known since forever and who'll probably be around that much longer. Playing hide and seek…

Happy New Year – I tried to think of a clever title. Pretty much nailed it, eh?
