Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Monday, February 06, 2006

Despite a popular theory that things happen in two's, it seems that fame hit close to home thrice in the last week or so. First, in last Sunday's pink section, there was a picture of my niece Cassie, promoting her upcoming show Wonderful Town presented by the San Francisco Arts Education Project. It's on page 85, if you still have it. She's the one in the middle.

Second, in that same section of the paper, there was a full page article about my cousin, Johnny Nitro. It's a good article about a great blues musician (and a heck of a nice guy too).

Lastly, but certainly not least, my friend Ann of Rocrebelgranny was interviewed in the Merced Sun-Star. She's a very intelligent, well-spoken, active woman who is also raising her three great-granddaughters. I find I agree with her on most everything, at least politically speaking.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
