The Tom Cat Ridge Gazette - First Issue

The Tom Cat Ridge Gazette - First Issue, First Edition, First Attempt


Well, things are nominal this morning up here on Tom Cat Ridge... Overcast, this 5th day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven... Coffee and some Hearts of Space stuff on the CD changer... Cinemotion, I think... Tonight is Friday Night, and 89.1, our NPR affiliate, will run Hearts of Space at 11:00 tonight. I always listen to the show. Mom actually met Scott August out West and purchased Radiant Sky from him. He signed it for her. It's a great disc!

A couple hours before I have to be and appear at my job...

Not sure what one is supposed to include in a blog, or leave out, but I will figure it out as I get there, I suppose!

In three months, I shall be 50 years old. That's half the ride, or more, in the books... documented.

I got the idea for this blog from The Skinny Island Post of Sam Harrison, with whom I have just reconnected after Lord knows how many years... Thanks, Sam! I now have websites, Facebook, (don't Twitter... am not nervous enough for that!), and now this. This Blog thingy.

Tom Cat Ridge is what my dad used to call this area... and this piece of land I own, way up here in the hills of Virginia. I have 3.5 acres, and it is very quiet out this way... so this is the Tom Cat Ridge Gazette!

I do not keep a journal, nor a diary, but this might be a nice way to jot stuff down for later, if anyone ever cares to see it...
