My favorite kitchen guru and true blue tribe friend! I look forward to every thoughtful letter I get in my mailbox. He brightens my days and makes me smile without fail. I'm so lucky to have him!

There are a lot of kind people hereI am amazed at the generous nature of most tribe members that I've encountered thus far. They're willing to share their experiences in life and their knowledge freely with me. If my two cents can feed this family of friends half as well in return, yet another cool thing will have occurred in my life.

about me
I try hard and am truly interested, though not the brightest bulb under the shade.
To bring a dead music to life is the among the most erotic feelings I know of. Loving the kitchen and feeding my loved ones go hand in hand with my pleasure. Being honest to myself at all times has always been, and will remain the best policy.

My guts strung out Unable to lie in matters of the heart and tired of looking down at my shoes, I noticed the Rhino staring down too, so hung a wreath of daisies on its horn.

with his ancient dog pass down a well-worn path. Heads hang down heavy, filled with the lost sticks and balls of youth; their weary feet and paws moving ever onward; homeward, from habit. 
His hands stopped working one day, their joints becoming hardened with age. After asking his Doctor, the man went home, put his lutes in their cases, started drinking, and thought, “Why not?”

Somehow, those around him mattered, yet didn't. The flavorless food and graying skies implored him to snap. Asked him to snap. Break.

Next door, under construction, there was a very loud bang! ...and from outside I heard muted screams. She cowered down, hiding from shots and not wanting this, wept. Yelling as loud as I could from the window, "Hey, it's the construction, not guns!" I thought she heard me, but again went and opened the door and yelled, loud as I could, "Not guns! Construction!

The thing became bad very quick, that thing we need not talk about. It’s was at the door just then, knocking, asking us to live a way. It said, “Come, come and walk with me, show off the awww shit that is life and tell me, tell me dear, are you happy?" To which came an honest reply, and it is in that honesty, that we found ourselves in exit, as a cold extended. 
Tonight I asked of God, “What is all this?” And his man told me, “Trappings.”

It is not with idyll thoughts that I turn to these words of supplication; but what are these trappings of life, and what is it to us the living? An old goat eats the grass, till one day he nibbles on his rope, and finding itself astray, soon meets a wolf. He says nervously_ “Do you know?” “Know what?” “What do you mean, what? You were talking about the goats and how one had eaten through its rope... read more 
Broken string, awaiting Elephantile replacement. Cut the nails down to size, as sounds from the 6c Renaissance lute are current the rage, as the cycles of nails and instrument goes. I love them all and much of the music, and suppose that's the problem. How to do each justice to it all? I refuse to surface dust this stuff because it is a passion. I feel as fickle as it gets, and always love the one I'm with. Somehow against it all though, is my constant improvement, with personal goals consis...

 There she sits without eyes to see, possibly without thoughts or any understandings that we would know; she sits waiting, looking past with empty orbs and then finds you with her nose. We are heat to her heart. Who you are is of no consequence. Sleeping, eating, drinking and passing remains, she otherwise sits hunched all but motionless in a shaded corner of her room. It does not matter who brings her food, changes water, or cleans the filtration system. She of course can hear what ... read more 
They are made of man, un-molded and left to dry inconsistently in the wind and sun. They sit blank, till along she comes and brushes. Maybe a smile or frown, should the mood swing. Today though, she has chosen a rather bristly brush, not quite cleaned from her last dirty encounter. Looking at it, the stiff substitute is plunged in to hot suds, and rinsed, and plunged, and rinsed_ this, done so many times that bristles fail, and eventually sit holding paint whiskers askew when looking at my...

 The cawing up of crows makes me look at my gun and smile. We did good. 
I somehow feel man's relationship with nature has been wrought more out of lust than love. We eat, consume, and arbitrate the relationships amongst ourselves in a relatively benign manner, even owing to war, but when it comes to nature and its consumption, we are insatiable and no more than cod swimming with mouths open.

He knew when I joined the Navy what my preoccupations were. He knew it damned well, and yet signed the document. That, which given in place, was bound, and I until manhood could be done with as wished, “in guardianship.” ‘A foot in the coffin then,’ I thought, turning on to 2nd. St., then with dropping jaw, stood in front ships taller than imagined and a life equally filled with water and sail.

that was Julie's last thought, though she hadn't the time to explain it as they tightened about the nose and mouth ceasing her life. 
What clouded thoughts at the bottom of the grave were her’s, as she asked me yet again, “ C’mon, ya gotta level, is he seeing her? He is, like always, I mean, like before? What’s she want? She want another bottle or just him, not me? “ Sitting in the corner, Johnathan shot me a look, that look. His look.

This one had bright hazel eyes, curly brown hair, and through those cherubic lips drooled magical moments. Red, green, blue, and flax reflected from a tree behind me within that gaze, holding a promise of colors more radiant still. I laughed and she smiled. Her stocking is hung to the chimney with care, with a peppermint cane and brown fuzzy bear. Now, imagine her surprise when I flew back up that chimney, then, imagine her surprise when she wakes.

fawn, doe, yellowed, antiqued avocado, char_ Bargaining beneath dulling aged moss, you seem like narrative rustling 'round when I care to listen in.  I purchased the old locket while shopping one day. On the inside it reads in scrawled calligraphy, “To Alice”, and also there is a bit of hair under a glass: brown, thick, bright. Now it is true, that I do not know whom Alice was, is, or with what relationship she had to this hair, but it is very nice hair. A pleasant waitress named Alice waited on me a few weeks ago and maybe that’s it? Somehow I keep thinking of the hair and that inscription, and I know there is more to the story.

Insomnia starts the day. Glancing at the clock for the umpteenth time, and three, well maybe five cups of old coffee later, my eyelids open to find ants invading the bathroom. Poison for them, another cup for me, and listening to my honey in bed snoring away, I begin to think about his dreams and wonder if I'm even in them? It would be so easy now, putting on shoes to take the trash out, to envision being tossed aside in that snooze filled slumber-land. A blond, tanned Ad... read more
