Yesterday, I was looking for pictures of baby bunnies. I didn’t find any, bunnies or pictures. It’s a good plan to have a picture or at least have a picture in mind before starting to write. This is a rule…

Happy Mother’s Day. I wish my Mom and your Mom Happy Mother’s Day. (A few Dads, too.)  

I don’t tell my Mom often enough that I love her. I love her. She knows I love her. I don’t tell her…

“Won’t you lend you lungs to me?  
Mine are collapsing.  
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe  
Up the time that’s passing.” - Townes Van Zandt  

Today has been one of those days. I guess all of them are in some…

What a bang-up crew of hardworking volunteers we have had at the One of a Kind Art Gallery. It's amazing what we've done in just a few days. There have been a few smart folks too that have come to…

I’ve read that, “If you don’t know who the black sheep of the family is, it’s probably you.” Black sheep doing what black sheep do.  

8F509D is the RBG code for Crayola® Crayon’s Vivid Violet. Instead of “black,” maybe the…

The best I can figure, it takes at least five guys to change a lightbulb. The biggest question is, “Change?” 

Micaville Music is building a deck/stage. 

There is a saying about judging the quality of a carpenter’s work by how…

Look who stumbled and fell into first place. There are 56 games in this Covid-19 shortened season. The Carolina Hurricanes lead the Discover Central Division and the National Hockey League with 79 points and three games to go. (They’ve already…

Allium tricoccum. That's one of them Latin names that plant nerds use when they talk to other plant nerds. I had to look it up. Ramps. That's all they are and from what I can tell, ramps don't speak Latin.

I'll bet if I think about it real hard, I could remember my first pair of shoes. Mama said they’d take me anywhere. She said they were my magic shoes – Forrest “Forrest” Gump. 

I can not remember my first…

Today is a good day to shamelessly plug recent releases from da6d Music. This is the da6d Music Official Website. Everything is here: downloads, CDs, videos, da6d Daily Ramblin’s, music, gallery … 

I have a few performance dates booked, and…

American Songwriter International Website, Magazine, and Podcast Network found a winner for their May/June 2021 Lyric Contest. Cameron Burleson, 1st Place. Cameron has also published a book of poetry. "Riding Fence: Thoughts of a Cowboy." 

He’s another one of them…

Going crazy? Who’s driving? I’ll be here waiting for you. We’re going to be just fine. All our Imaginary Friends are here.
 

The mind is a fertile place. Ask any fisherman. A 12-inch trout will be at least 16…

Somehow, I ended up with a nickel in my pocket. Change from something somewhere. It looked old, so I got my glasses. 1945 date, Philadelphia Mint. 

There is a previous da6d Daily Ramblin’ dated September 27th, 2020, …Dollar For That…

April 26, 1984 Bamburg Germany. I got a phone call from the U.S. (long-distance). A precious life had been brought into the world. It was a girl, and her name was Chessnee. The whole barracks smelled like cigars for days.

10:00am Sunday morning without Charles Kuralt. Who remembers Charles Kuralt? It is a dreary morning, cloudy, with a misty rain. It reminds me of German weather: Winter and the Fourth of July. The afternoon promises to be sunny and warmer…

Who knew you could use curds and whey as spider bait?

Little Missy may have said, “Where the h_ck are my curds and whey?” 

I imagine Momma Muffet might reply, “I’ll tell you what right here, Little Missy Muffet, sittin’…

Poor DeO’jie. 

After her recent digestive disorders, she’s back to her steady diet of dry dog food and green beans. It was a good time to cut back on the treats. Now it’s two a day and those are medical. 

…

This evening, I thought about Max Baer, Jr. There are certainly better things to think about. There are enough swiss cheese holes in my head that just anything could be hiding anywhere. 

Tonight, it was Jethro Bodine. Why Jethro? Because…

The Chasers of Wild Geese National Federation: Local Chapter Weekly Report 

The CWGNF held their weekly meeting recently. Yesterday’s wild goose chase involved following a dump truck on Highway 197 South, up Bolen’s Creek, back on 197 South to the…

For Real? Four reels and one extra spool. I haven’t been able to explain to Kari why I need four reels … and four fly rods. She gets that same glazed-over look that I have when she talks about kiln…

Kari found this painting several years ago, somewhere. She asked me if I wanted it. It’s hanging beside my work desk. Also, there about the same time, she gave me a poem to keep in my pocket. It was National…

April showers bring May flowers. Mayflowers bring Pilgrims

I had a gig last night. Yesterday’s blog was all about that. This is about something else. 

After I finished last night’s performance, I calmly checked in on the Nashville Predators vs…

I have an alibi. Babe’s Pizza and Treats in Burnsville was home for the evening. What a wonderful evening that was! Dear Friends and a few new were receptive and kind. I am grateful. 

If you’ve ever wondered why these…

DeO’jie is still upset with me for changing her diet. I cut out the excessive treats. The problem is that was a major part of her diet. Too much. I’m worried what she may do to me after the zombie…

Boy, that was a big bomb! Yesterday’s “Reader’s Choice Challenge” went totally unanswered other than a suggestion to keep on writing about what I write about. I can do that. Here’s a link in case you’re curious. Reader’s Choice.
