Anne MacFie

Anne MacFie, who I know as half of Dick and Anne Albin. She was just in Lexington doing music for some cause that was supporting books that have been banned. She, along with Dick (and my ex-wife who actually introduced me to them), probably opened my eyes to music more than anyone before or after – and for that I give a heart-felt thanks. I am sad, that I was reminded of them by seeing a flier for the event the week after it had occurred.

Respect SMS

First, a quick lesson or two here about what I am talking about. SMS is short for Short Message Service and is indeed the process by which cell phones and a few 1000 other technological wonders send those little one line messages that in range of 140 to about a maximum of 160 characters in length. So along with SMS, notes on social networks, and even tag lines, I got a few peeves I am going to, ahem, talk about.

NaNoWriMo

Quick update on my efforts with NaNoWriMo, especially given what it seems to be showing as a status on over there to the right and down just a little bit here on the Mephistos blog. I did kick off with some major kick butt writing on Saturday afternoon. I was not feeling well from the head cold that I have had, but spent some major effort in into things. Between huge coffee consumption, taking some pills, and drinking that icky thera-flu stuff, I managed to write a blog or two, put together some additional notes about the novel and keyed in 2019 words. I was very pleased with that amount of wordage for my starting point, especially given that I was not feeling the greatest during the time.

A Rose by any Other Name…

Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to hear a young lady perform who has the most wonderful voice. She is also a rather petite small figured (that is redundant, but it is really almost required to give you the full image of her size) young lady. She performs solo for the most and with minimum to nothing in the way of accompaniment. Somewhere here in the blog I mentioned at least one performance that I saw and I liked her so much, I followed up with a second one and purchase of a CD.
