WUML

See the little thing sticking out above the tree line?

No? Here, let me zoom in.

See it? That building off in the distance? Thats Fox Hall. It’s a dormitory for the University of Massachusetts Lowell. I graduated from UML in 2004. 20 years ago.

That building was important to me because I had a show on the campus radio station and our transmitter was on the roof. The station itself was in another building in my day, but today the station is in Fox Hall somewhere.

Fascinating, eh?

Stressing Out

After writing about my friend’s tough day without sharing any details, I am now finding myself writing about my own stressful day without sharing any details.

There is stuff going on. I am not going to say what. I just need to tell the universe that I am trying very hard not to freak out. Yes I am an old man yelling at clouds, but what’s a red head to do besides just hang in there and hope for the best?

Yeah, I know this post doesn’t make sense. Don’t worry about it. It’ll be okay.

Tough Day for My Friend

Mike, the bass player in my band, is probably my oldest friend. It was 1000 years ago or so, but I believe we met in 4th grade which was probably 1980 or ’81 or so? Somewhere around there.

I am not going to share details because it’s not my place, but his family is going through something right now and I just want to wish them all my best.

I am spinning one of my favorite records by Mike’s favorite band from our high school days right now in solidarity because I don’t know what else to do and I feel like I should do something even if it is some meaningless gesture.


ADDENDUM: Rather than say that Mike is the bass player in my band, I think it is probably more correct to say that I am the guitar player in his band.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 40/90

Day 40 was almost a wasted day, but at about 10:30 when I should have been going to sleep… when my body was telling me that I was going to have a really shitty Tuesday if I didn’t go to sleep right away… I mixed one song.
