Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Continuing the fifth-year memories of our glorious time in Edinburgh, we spent our first night in the Dalmahoy, a 300-year old castle that sits on two 18-hole golf courses and has one of the stillest and quietest elevators lifts I’ve ever been on. Whilst waiting on our room to be ready, we had haggis…

Salutations™!! I’m writing this at about 1145p on August 30. Five years ago right now, we were somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean on our way to Edinburgh, Scotland. We almost missed our flight because as we were laying over, the airline or airport switched not only the gate but the entire terminal in the Philadelphia…
Salutations™!! Today, ServPro began tearing the heck out of my AC closet, the laundry room, the downstairs bathroom, and part of the kitchen. The mold behind the sheetrock that was either directly or indirectly in contact with the leaking AC unit was really bad. Oddly, the AQ (air quality) test came back with no cross-contamination….
Salutations™!! Tonight on The Les Less Desirables we had brothers Jacob and Issac Rudolph who were promoting their new business, Fort in the Woods, which focuses on getting young folks’ noses out of their electronic devices and out in nature and the great outdoors. We talked about the business, nature, outdoors, life, music, beer and…

Salutations™!! It’s that time again! Football season is upon us and that means it’s also time for Fantasy Football. Per usual, I am in two leagues, The Less Desirables league and Willows league. We had both drafts on the same day one after the other. It was a long day/evening but there was a lot…
Salutations™!! Today was the first day of school in the WSFCS system. That means it was 3B’s first day. I know a lot of people were posting “first day of school” pictures on social media all day. I know some people have a problem with that. I don’t understand what the problem can be. You…
Salutations™!! It was a weird day yesterday as we had to drop off The BCPF’s car with my Bro-in-Law to have him do some servicing to it. Then we went to the bank to deposit the money from the insurance and then to breakfast before heading to Underdog. I love Underdog Records. Here’s the short-haul:…
Salutations™!! It’s been a while since I’ve played a video of street performers doing fantastic things so, why not today. Bucket players have always fascinated me. The title of the video is “the best drummer ever.” I don’t know about that, but he is really good. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! —…

Salutations™!! 25 years ago today, one of the greatest albums I’ve heard was released. This album is Grace by the late Jeff Buckley. #304 on the RS list, I believe this is way too high for it. It should be in the top 100, at least. He had such a distinctive voice, one that was…
Salutations™!! Today is the 31st anniversary (supposedly) of the Let’s Active album Every Dog Has His Day. Let’s Active, if you don’t know, was led by my friend Mitch Easter. He’s a local legend. He did a good bit of work with R.E.M when they first came about. He also was the producer of the second…
