Generally, I would say that I don’t mind a bit of intensity in my life. Teaching is such that I could eat, breathe, and sleep the profession and my students. Campaigning also leads to a lot of work in a short amount of time with lots, lots, lots of pressure. Even my fun tends to… Continue reading An Unexpected Peace

Meeting You
Since this pandemic/safer at home order began, I have found myself having lots of time to think about everything under the sun. In some ways, I feel like I’m beginning to understand myself better, including how I view connections, fandom, etc. Is it enough to just watch public performances? Is it enough to read and… Continue reading Meeting You
Guest Blog: A Deep Dive Into the Bass Odyssey
By Nat Mingo I found myself smiling at the latest Stone Love Bass Odyssey announcement. This small moment of joy surprised me so I pondered what I appreciate about John’s latest endeavor. Here is what I found. Anticipation The band’s official account and some related social media accounts are doing a great job of advance… Continue reading Guest Blog: A Deep Dive Into the Bass Odyssey
It’ll Take a Little Time
I have decided that there are some perks to working from home. For example, I have been able to sleep in longer. After all, I don’t have to make a lunch, get my bag together, drive to school, etc. I also get to take naps more frequently. One other big benefit is that I get… Continue reading It’ll Take a Little Time
I’m (Probably) Not Going to Sleep Tonight
I don’t know how long we’ve been on lockdown now. My youngest came home from school on March 13th, and that was the day I found out she wasn’t going back on Monday. I think it was the following Thursday that Heather and her boyfriend came up here because her studio had been closed, and… Continue reading I’m (Probably) Not Going to Sleep Tonight
Gone too Far This Time
Everybody has a limit, and I finally hit mine. I’ve been on Twitter since 2009. I wasn’t one of the very first, but I was a fairly early adopter. Back then, people took the prompt “What are you doing right now” very seriously. There were tweets like, “I am feeding my cats”, or “Do you… Continue reading Gone too Far This Time
They Gave Your Game Away
I admit it. I’m still struggling to get things done. Normally, my inability to get household chores done is due to the excessive amount of work that I have to do. Now, I’m feeling relatively caught up when it comes to work and teaching. (Don’t worry I’m sure that will change by Tuesday, at the… Continue reading They Gave Your Game Away
I wish *I* Knew What’s in Their Head(s)
It is always nice when DDHQ gives me something to think about and chew on while blogging. Yesterday, they asked the “simple” question of what has been the most surprising change they’ve made during the course of their constantly evolving life as a band? Naturally, this question is fully loaded. I can cite about 35… Continue reading I wish *I* Knew What’s in Their Head(s)
Thought I Heard You Talking
Today marked the second Twitter chat with a member of Duran Duran. This week Roger participated and it went much like it did last week with Simon. Fans used the given hashtag and asked question after question or, in some cases, gave declarations of love, shared pictures, etc. You can see it all for yourself… Continue reading Thought I Heard You Talking
You Can Make Your Rhymes and Paint Your Rules
It’s hard to feel like blogging today. I tried staying off of social media over the weekend. This morning it is definitely no better. Reading the same thing 50,000 times does little to heal, nor does it seem productive if you’re really wanting to change things. I would rather spend the time with people I… Continue reading You Can Make Your Rhymes and Paint Your Rules
