Whatever I want

July 17, 2010

So there I was yesterday morning pulling into a parking space behind Louan’s, thinking it was going to be a scorcher of a day. She came down the stairs, happy cat bag slung over her shoulder. “You ready?” A look. Me neither, but today’s the day and he-eeere we go. The morning is already a […]

In the background: Mike Berst, dulcimer artist, from his CD, Tunes of the Civil War Era I am a sucker for new WordPress toys, so when I saw the Post by Voice announcement on Matt’s blog I had to try it. If it works well I’m going to go down on the beach during the […]

As I was saying . . . . I enjoyed talking to Tom MacGregor about his 1922 Ford Touring Car. Its special feature is that it is “close to factory”–just the way it rolled off Henry Ford’s assembly line in 1922. These, says Tom, were designed to work on yourself, the way you worked on […]
