CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub
Last night was our ninth CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub. Yes, we already have our tickets for the next one, which will be #10. 🙂 They started at 6:35pm. This time, there were only four people on the stage, rather than the more typical five. There was a qualitative difference as well. […]

Happy Birthday Lois
Lois and I rarely exchange gifts or cards on any occasion, including birthdays. The main exception is that Lois has gone out of her way to make some of my milestone birthdays very special affairs. That included my 30th, 35th and 50th. This was not a milestone birthday for Lois, but I decided […]

City Slickers Bluegrass Festival
This past Saturday, May 9th, 2009, seven of us attended the City Slickers Bluegrass Festival in Richmond, VA. How and why we came to attend will be the subject of my next post, this one will just cover the event itself. There were three headliners and one opening act. The opening act, Page […]

Make the Time
Lois and I have been, and continue to be blessed, in many ways. At or near the top of that list is the amazing group of friends that we have. Individually and collectively, they bring us immeasurable joy, and expand our horizons with each interaction. I know that many people lead busy, complicated […]

Trust the Sidux.com Home Page
If I detailed all of the hurt I caused myself (entirely my fault) in this one post, I’d be typing for hours. I’ll spare myself (and you) all of the gory details, and summarize. If you follow my techie posts (way fewer than my music posts), then you know that I’m a big […]

Colin Hay at Canal Room
I was very late to the blogging world. Rob Page (CEO of Zope Corporation) needled me for a while, and I finally relented. My only goal was to document our lives (mostly the good memories) in excruciating detail, so that as our memories fade (or fail), we’d have a record to look back […]
