This is my new hang. Whittling down my number of friends has never been easier.

It’s not about a girl…. It’s about a ‘68 Chevy Impala. I saw this car at a car show in Maine this summer. This is my dream car….not because of value, but because of nostalgia. Growing up, we had a ‘68 Chevy Caprice, and it was EXACTLY like this car. I remember a lot ofContinue reading “the one that got away.”

Eight things I’m thankful for at the beginning of my day: Jenn Lauryn Katy Clarity Sunshine Music A job where I feel valued and respected LOVE.

Yesterday was about getting the negativity out of my brain and on the page….today is a step forward.

“I’m still standing, better than I ever did.

I TOTALLY started playing in a band for this reason, and I offer no apologies. In high school we triedContinue reading “it’s truly all about the music.”

This spring, I started playing with the Ryan Forrester Band in the DC region, and I decided to bring this nickname back. As this band has someContinue reading “L Train.”

Prince. Grape soda. Barney. (OK, maybe that’s pushing it.) Purple……I don’t have any bad feelings about purple…..from a music and color point of view, I always hear a Gb Major 7th chord in my head when I think about purple, but I digress….purple is very peaceful and serene, and there’s something truly badass about seeingContinue reading “purple.”
