I love Tull, and for those new to this great classic group, the photo is of Ian Anderson, the wild eyed genius front man of the group. One of my favorite tunes ever is Wondering Aloud, which I had always heard on the Aqualung album and wished it was longer. Damned if after these many... Read more
Category: Breakfast with Oz
Back some years (what isn’t anymore), I had the honor of being the steward (boss) in a World of Warcraft guild called Myth Guard. On our website I often posted a feature with no predetermined topic. I fondly carry on that tradition here, under the same banner.
These days there’s so much going on
These days there’s so much going on
No one seems to want to know
I may be just an old soldier to some
But I know how it feels to grow old
Cruising the Internuts
I was not one of those that grew up on the internet. Indeed, the internet grew up on me. I was something of a geek back then, though a cool one I'm sure. My very first job as a contractor working with the government was an assignment down at the Washington Navy Yard reviewing ARPANET... Read more
Comfortably Numb Indeed

Three of those can be seen in these fresh photos. Sebastian (Bas), a marine currently serving in the land down under, can be seen... Read more

You would think that there comes a certain point in your life where birthdays become ho-hum. Indeed, it seems almost a requirement that you act as if they have anyway. Getting excited about celebrating your birthday, once past some arbitrary and hazy point will bring scorn, as if you are acting like a child. I... Read more
Did she win a rotten strawb wine?
The Rotten Strawbs performed yesterday afternoon into the evening at Creek's Edge winery in Purcellville, Virginia. After the long and energetic first set the winner of the 'caption contest' was announced. Congratulations to Claudia! "Mikey, finish your beer and go find us a gig." The winner, pictured above, most likely was not allowed to leave... Read more
My Bestest Daughter’s Birthday
As you get older, birthdays tend to pile up on you... sometimes even to the point of being overwhelming. With an ever growing family it gets harder and harder to remember birthdays and ages, even your own! But for all that, I only have one daughter. One amazing girl among our five children. She is...
