Dawn was looking online for some tracks to use on her iPod while running and the track Fischer Store Road by Sarah Jarosz showed up. The title caught her eye because there is a Fischer Store Road not far from the house here in Wimberley. A little digging later and we discovered that Sarah was [...]

No Comments »Another for the Brilliant but Canceled file
February 25th, 2010 Chris Doelle Okay, maybe not brilliant – I mean it did pretty much rip off another of my all time favorites – Quantum Leap, but darn it, I like Journeyman. Kevin McKidd is fast becoming one of those actors that turns in solid performances every time out and this short-lived scifi show was no exception. The bad [...]

I want to to reflect where I am in life. No longer am I [...]

February 14th, 2010 Chris Doelle Dawn and I went to see Valentine’s Day on… uh, yeah – you guessed it – Valentine’s Day. My overall view of the film was good (for a chick flick.) It had some good comedy, some sappy romance, and even a cameo by Director, Garry Marshall. Okay, naming a cameo by Marshall as one of [...]
Taylor Swift – the next Ashlee Simpson
February 14th, 2010 Chris Doelle Back in 2005, I railed against Ashlee Simpson as the perfect example of what is wrong with the music industry. It has been my contention that the big record labels had long ago lost touch with good music in favor of cute teeny boppers that could become a brand for movies, tv shows, perfume, lunchboxes [...]
