Basement tapes
I don’t pretend I know how to play, but I do have fun. We hang, we drink, we play. Songs are live improv, lyrics are developed on the fly, jamming is long, sometimes magic happens, sometimes not. The Flying EP – […]

Artisan Bread
Do you every buy or bake good bread, and then eat it all at once? I picked up two loaves today – one Semolina and the other Tuscan. Looks good, smells good, just know it’s gonna taste good. Expensive. Then […]
Frostline
It was a sad day in Fisk family history today. Yes it’s true we retired the Frostline Kit hockey bag after 33 years of active & semi-active service. Frostline? My brother being a madman of sorts had decided for some […]
What is in my hair?
It’s 11:15pm. I stand in front of the kitchen sink drinking a pre-recovery break (also know as short periods of sleep) glass of water after (yet another) 15 hour day at the office. I sigh lightly releasing a part of […]

Hockey Net
Our last hockey net was of the $49 PVC variety. The net did itself proud for 4 years until we laid a small ice rink in the backyard and the kids performed an experiment destined for failure – real pucks, […]

Global warming – Intelligent Design proves it
How does Intelligent design prove Global Warming? It goes like this. I bought a POS MTD Yardmaster Riding Mower, it was built by pre-teens in some Asia minor country for sure, but designed by humans none the less and designed […]
Beer in a can and twistys too…
I was indoctrinated into thee land of non crappy mass consumption beer during my college days at a certain Midwest university. Around 1986 or so we were one of only two towns in the nation stocking Samuel Smiths on the […]

IU Mens Basketball
IU vs UI today. Will Illinois play the revenge card again? I think not. The Sampson era so far has been marked by a much more focused team. Playing hard on all plays and with awareness. An amazing lack of […]
DA Bears
One day away from SuperBowl XLI – Will Rex rock and Peyton plop. Or will the Colt of destiny come shinning through? I think DA Bears will run it. Their D will just barely hold on and Devin Hestor will […]
Chicago
Just when I think there’s nothing special about where I live… Our nice house in the suburbs lulls one into a false sense of blah. Big box grocery, shiny chain gas stations, drive here, drive there, no where in particular. […]
