Month: February 2014

  • Wmotd, Week 9

    This song has been stuck in my head lately. February is just about over and it seems to have been a tough month for some of us if nothing else because of the weather. Listening to this track on repeat (as I tend to when I write these weekly posts) a number of things come…

  • A little rain must fall

    Rumor has it it’s supposed to be rainy this weekend. Stay tuned, I guess.

    A is for…. you tell me.

  • Cloud Bursts

    Weather throughout the US has been a little unpredictable lately. Sounds like folks are already mentally ready for spring or summer, so how about a few snapshots from a warmer season to daydream about:

  • Wmotd, Week 6

    Haven’t been feeling so hot this week. Hopefully this weekend things will turn the corner and the haze will lift. Smooth by Car Stereo Wars
