While I know this is totally off topic, and that it probably belongs under this heading in the blog called Wayward Pioneer (which is also me, just in case you missed that…) I have been doing some traveling lately. What I have learned is that I miss my guitar...

Okay, it sort of goes without saying that my days don’t really come with a handy template. I have a million things to do, but usually a flexible enough schedule that I can chose which of them I will attempt to accomplish. The last three days have been...

In a just and perfect world, this would be my driveway. I’m not sure I want quite all of the rest of the place – a side effect of living in a 300 year old house is that I am able, with laser-like clarity, to recognize the maintenance nightmare that is a...

It is Thursday I have something to do if Spring ever arrives. This was posted to the Face Book page “Guitar Control”. Now I want one. Zen, musical, all kinds of happy things. Yes. I will dig down and set the stones properly. I will enhance the soil...
