Sunday, October 9, was College Hill Corridor’s monthly Second Sunday in Washington Park. It features food, expansive space for families, and, better still, a band. In this case, some guys called Yacht Rock Schooner: They played Steely Dan! Woohoo! Oh, and an Official Support Team: I don’t know whether the hoops are a standard thing, [...]

…and let me bring a camera. More than that: it was a big party. Their “85th,” or their combined birthday (and cumulative years) celebration, at SoChi, downtown Macon. With his band, MagTard. And guest performers, Flaco Torres and Mother Cunt. [Not a typo. —Ed.] Hell, yes. The associated gallery was posted last week, but due [...]

I embarked on “some work on the house” about seven months ago now. Somewhere in there, it turned into a major remodel. We started around the first of October, with a tight schedule aiming for Thanksgiving. Within a couple of weeks, we were hoping for the New Year. Then January, then February. Things were mostly [...]

I was hoping to have the house, especially the office, completely set up by now. Well, uh … no. And not for a little while yet; the details are taking much, much longer than I’d anticipated. Naturally. So ahead of adding more at tonight’s Cocktail Hour, then more this weekend (details later), I decided to [...]

…was back on February 28th, and was a really fun time. Here’s the birthday boy, looking cute as ever: Couple of really great parent-and-kid shots in the set, too, like this of Rob and Callie: …And this, of newcomers Karen and Gunnar: Can’t possibly forget Dan and Connor, natch: However, as is not unusual for [...]

It’s been a screwy couple of weeks, with unexpected details finishing up construction around the house, several folks falling down stairs — including yours truly, hereafter known as “Mr. Grace” (not), and sweet Trish, who did some damage to herself on the trip down (no pun intended) — and an all-too-short visit to Florida. Get [...]

This past Friday night, at EJ’s loft in downtown Macon, MagTard held a launch party for their new CD. While it started at nine, I didn’t get there until almost 9:30 — but knew I had plenty of time before folks really got into the evening. Miles and Trish were there: I don’t get a [...]

One of recent year’s highlights, as far as I’m concerned, is celebrating the bounty that is Thanksgiving with Dan and Monica. Most of that has been about knowing great friends. Some, however, has to do with Dan’s simply-amazing turkey: Check Twice, Eat Once That title is a play on Norm Abram‘s approach to construction, someone [...]

Enjoyed Easter weekend with Dan and Monica and selected portions of the Magnolia Street Mob. What a fun group of folks. The theme was Tapas, with a huge selection of little stuff instead of one huge ham (Connor notwithstanding…;) Speaking of whom: here he is, looking especially pleased with the just-consumed chocolate kiss: Unlike Connor, [...]

I’ve been way behind on my to-do list recently, which, rather obviously, includes blogging. Many apologies. Last weekend, rather than take the time to blog, catch up, clean, or anything else, I took an opportunity to clear my head with a longer-than-usual road trip. Part of it was supposed to result in a very cool [...]
