Songs and Stuff

This photo was taken by my grandfather in about 1950 with his trusty Kodak. Oh, how I loved those chaps, and how much easier it was to ride a fence rail than a horse.

And, as always, a couple songs from long ago.

Hope – 1985
Poor Miserable Shit – 1999

Starting the Summer

Thought I’d start this summer with two pieces that are on two ends of some spectrum or another. Maybe one or the other will satisfy some longing or some need for action. Give ‘er a listen! (I know, I know, summer doesn’t start until the 21st, but we all know better).

Why Mountain Breakfast?

Well, many years ago, before computers and the internet, I wrote a short story about a man who carried an enormous length of garden hose up a mountain with the goal of starting a siphon to run water from a lake to his cabin below. His only friend, a water attorney (?!?!), warned him that stealing water could get him in a lot of trouble. But, undeterred by this cautionary advice, he proceeded to climb to the lake and start the siphon. Meanwhile, his friend cooked breakfast in the cabin below. By the time the hose was hooked up, his friend had set fire to the kitchen and lost control of his wits. Just when it looked like the cabin would be burned to ashes, the hose began blasting water, and he was able to save the house. This was the first of several short-short stories in a series that I called Mountain Breakfast, in which each tale involved cooking or eating breakfast in the wild. It was all about humans, all about nature, and all about human nature. I’m still at it, still hiking and thinking and writing tales, although they’re longer now, and not about eating breakfast.
