I already answered this prompt a year ago, but the weather is so nice today, I thought I’d give it another go. You’d think living in Southern California, my go to response would be sunny and warm. But that’s only partially correct. If you find yourself in Southern California gridlock, you’ll notice most cars only … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Full Force Gale – Elvis Costello
Absent any new WordPress daily prompts, I pulled one from thecoffeemonsterzco. What is your favourite toast topping? We sat back after dinner satisfied. We had ordered a number of small plates for variety. It was delicious. When the server came by and asked if we had room for desert, I passed. Our friends ordered dessert … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Tupelo Honey – Van Morrison

The latest was a guy and his girlfriend escaping the high housing prices in San Diego. His solution? Buy a small undeveloped island and build their house there instead.

Banning words sounds a little odd anyway. Brown Eyed Girl is a classic Van Morrison song. It’s … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison
We didn’t grow up with a computer in the house. It’s not because we couldn’t afford one. It’s because they simply did not exist. This fact probably would shock the young folks that I work with because their lives have revolved around technology since they can remember. Growing up, we had to play the old … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: And It Stoned Me – Van Morrison
One college summer, I was going through my older brother’s CD collection and discovered Van Morrison. Wow. All I could think was, “How cool is this guy”. His music was a mix of folk, jazz, rock and soul. His voice had that feeling of a life that had certainly lived. When I returned to school … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Days Like This – Van Morrison
