My estimation of whether or not a movie I’ve just watched was “a good movie” is largely determined by how much that movie sticks with me in the hours and days after I watch it. Simply put, something that your brains keeps returning to, and which you keep thinking about, can probably be considered a […]

I never thought I would find myself writing about, of all things, Dancing With The Stars here on The Watch. The only reason I am now is because this season Sarah Palin’s daughter was one of the contestants. I refer to the young lady as “Sarah Palin’s daughter” instead of using her name for a […]
49th Ave Squirrel Posse
I’ve fed the squirrels in the back yard of our house in Saint Petersburg for a long time. In that time I’ve come to know a lot of them on what I considered a personal basis, in that there was some level of basic communication, even if it was just “Hey, peanut guy. Give me […]

I sat outside this morning after seeing Victoria off to work and looked around me. The sky was dark off toward Tampa with angry storm clouds. All around me the winds swirled with that soft sense of impending chaos which always precedes an approaching storm. At first, there were no squirrels. There never are at […]

Lucius & Claire
Two new additions to the household. We received these feral kittens on November 9th, 2010, and named them (left to right) Lucius and Claire. I’ve just posted their photo to the image gallery. This isn’t something I’m used to posting updates for, so I’m not sure how to link it up. I mean, if I […]
Windhaven – When The Winds Blow
Windhaven just made the first major step toward recording its debut album, When The Winds Blow. That great leap came in the form of a new song, titled “Ten Feet Tall”. The song is based upon an ancient riff of mine (originally a bass line) that popped into my head while I was working on […]
