2/ I Remember My Plastic Golf Clubs
I remember taking my plastic golf clubs to Schenectady Municipal Golf Course with my Daddy. I also remember looking for golf balls in the woods of Muni, keeping them safe in my Yankees hat. Then I’d wash them in those red ball-washers that you have to swish terrifically up and down. I’m pretty sure Daddy […]

1/ I Remember Having a College Radio Show
I remember WMBC, AM 560. Jeff, Nate and I rocked the mic at very odd hours of our UMBC radio days. We cued up the likes of Starflyer 59, Danielson Family, and other bits and pieces from Tooth and Nail records and their homies. We’d maybe sometimes play this weird dude with a banjo named […]

Hold on, Mt. Wilson!
As of now, Mt. Wilson is still hanging on…amazingly. Thank yous to the local firefighters and the Canadians who let us borrow some DC-10s that can drop 12,000 gallons of flame-killers in 8 seconds. The most recent news from the LA Times doesn’t look very hopeful, however. The LA Times aside, I’ve been pretty disappointed […]

The Station Fire in the mountains of Pasadena is burning out of control and growing rapidly. It has just been reported that two firefighters lost their lives in a vehicle accident near Mt.
