Dawn Is Me

Music is a world within itself

I told you before about some of my recent strolls down musical memory lane, where I’m finally admitting to myself that the ’70s was a pretty good decade. It wasn’t all disco and polyester, ya know. In the land of R&B/funk/jazz and the various hybrids boasting real musicians who reveled in experimenting with musical forms from other [...]

You can’t pretend there’s nothing there

(I note that WordPress wants me to upgrade to version 2.9, which is now available. Only it won’t let me upgrade WordPress until I upgrade the version of MySQL that my server is running. That’s the only complaint I have about open source software. I generally love the stuff but the upgrades are relentless and [...]

For the record, it’s nine months later and I am still a non-smoker. W00t! I feel I have walked through the burning fires and emerged a stronger woman. And all because I got Kimmie to clean up her room last weekend. We did all her laundry, got all the clothes off the floor, threw away all [...]

I haven’t been in here in a little while, so I haven’t told you yet that we’ve had something of an event in the Baker household. Gina has had a birthday. Not just any birthday, either. Gina turned 20 last Saturday. Now, compared with either 18 or 21, you may not think of 20 as all that big [...]

Play me one more song that I’ll always remember

Ooooooo-kay, so now that’s all over and done with. Halloween has been and gone (and a good thing, I really don’t like Halloween). Election Day has, too, and I was not chosen to serve my community in public office (trans: I lost). Now we’re coming into one of my favorite times of year, the Thanksgiving/Christmas nexus. My kids [...]

Anyone who would care to donate to my campaign for town supervisor can do so here: www.baker4supervisor.com I don’t care where you live (although, obviously, if you live here then you have more at stake). If you are willing to contribute, your contribution will be gratefully accepted. The campaign is actually going very well. In fact, it’s [...]
