Izze is an instinct shooter… no sight yet on that compound bow… but she really gets it done!

This girl can really shoot…

The sound of those arrow impacting the target make a really satisfying crack! Good times!

Then it was time for our vampire to head into town for some Trick or Treating.

Yeah, this girl researched movie makeup and ...

Fall was certainly wrapping itself around us as we moved into the Rev. Gary Davis Weekend at the Fur Peace Ranch.

On this glorious weekend the Wonderful Woody Mann came to teach and to amaze and enthrall us on Saturday night at the Fur Peace Station with the Empire Roots Band.

Seth Farber came to join Woody, and played the Birman’s old 1913 Chickering baby grand.

Also on stage was Bill Sims Jr. Even though with the band, Bill sang and played ...

Only The Strong Survive…Return From Disney World

| 52 Comments

So Izze by virtue of her hard work and skipping a grade earned her trip to Disney World… and off we went.
Our daughter Izze has worked so hard in school. At 10 years of age she is already halfway through 6th grade and is at the top of her class. That’s a far cry from where I was when I was in school. Anyway, this kid has worked her tail off and the complaining factor was really low! She ...

The Weekend That Was

| 68 Comments

When I got back from the last little run, Fall was making its presence felt here in Southeast Ohio. Every time we sit down to eat I get to listen to Dad’s old radio and have Mom and Dad’s travel poster from the 30’s watch over me.

Pumpkins as of yet uncarved… it’s coming though!

Last Friday Vanessa and Izze and Ginger And Montana and I went up to the Ridges, where they had October hayrides around the grounds of the ...

I left San Francisco on Monday… next stop NYC. Tuesday, up to Fordham for WFUV with John Platt.

John invited me up to the campus to tape a radio show for WFUV. We chewed the fat for a while and I played several songs… then back down to the 70’s and dinner at Serafina. Michael Falzarano joined Myron and myself for a delicious dinner!

Walking around the neighborhood, around the corner from Amsterdam in 76th, was the building where Joe Zinman, ...

Six Days On The River Of Time

Last Wednesday as Myron and I were getting our gear together for the West Coast trip, we paused to get some delicious Pho at the Beatrice Love Kitchen here at the Ranch.

This is what I’m talking about… every ingredient local… our Chef… peerless!

Then we loaded up and headed to the Airport in Columbus en route to San Francisco.

In S.F., I was hungry again. A man’s gotta eat, right? so after checking into the Kabuki Hotel I wandered up Buchanan ...
