From The Brink: January 2015
http://davidbrink.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Okay, I admit it.I'm a Globophobe. Many people have them. Most phobias are quite common and understandable, even to those who don't share that particular fear. The fear of heights for example. Or spiders. Or large bodies of water. All perfectly acceptable things to be afraid of. After all, if you're going to have a phobia, have a popular one. I have globophobia-the fear of balloons. No, really, I do. Stop snickering. It's a thing. Google it. Or some such nonsense. I have a...

Monday, February 25, 2013. The Year Of Reading Classically Part One. A lot has happened since re-starting the ol' blog. There have been two deaths in the family. There has been a slight change in the band. The kids are going through lots of changes with their school and Tessa and Melody are both needing work on their teeth and eyes respectively. I have also been going through a period of self analysis and introspection. But I don't want to talk about any of that. I want to talk about books.

Monday, January 7, 2013. Been gone a while now. I had some problems with servers, a failed attempt to use a new blog site, software updates and general business/laziness on my part. but this is a new year and I am going to make it a goal to keep up on this blog even if it's only once a week. So I'm coming back with more stuff soon. Check out my music blog, Words About Music, for my top ten CD list of 2012. Then come back here later on. Can't wait to re-make your acquaintance!

From The Brink: April 2015

Saturday, April 25, 2015. Uniting Humanity Through Fast Food. I work on Saturdays. Yeah, I know but it is what it is. Anyway, I usually go out for lunch on Saturdays, as most of the leftovers are already gone. Today I only had a four dollars and a hankering for some pretend Mexican food so there was only one solution. Jack In The Box tacos. Two for a buck, baby! Think about this. Doesn't it seem like we are all divided with each other much more than we are united? But, you know what? Sometimes it gets to...

Sunday, April 28, 2013. A Weekend Away pt. 2-All The Other Stuff. So, picking up where we left off. This was the third trip trip Nashville I have taken with Valerie. There is still a lot we haven't seen, but there are also some things we must do each time we visit. One of those is eat at Jack's. Adjacent to the Opry house is the Gaylord Opryland resort and hotel. One word: big. It is the largest convention center in the country and has a river running through it (! Then it was off to Earnest Tubb's recor...

From The Brink: Starting
http://davidbrink.blogspot.com/2015/08/starting.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. There's a lot going on. I mean, really. There are just so many big issues out there now, I don't know where to begin. More importantly, I don't know how to address all of them. Things have changed. I have matured quite a bit over the years (no really, I have. Stop snickering! I dunno, I gotta work on that.

Thursday, March 20, 2014. ATTENTION-I don't normally do things like this but I have to make a request. If you are going to read this post please read through to the end. It deals with topics that are hot buttons for a lot of people. It is not my intent to offend. I write merely as an attempt at understanding, healing and with an intention of creating an open and honest document and dialogue. Thank you. I felt an overwhelming sadness. I even shed a tear. Told you it was unexpected. We don't get the best p...

From The Brink: What's Going On Today
http://davidbrink.blogspot.com/2015/08/whats-going-on-today.html
Sunday, August 9, 2015. What's Going On Today. In 1971 Marvin Gaye put out a record called "What's Going On'. For those who may be unfamiliar, let me catch you up. This is going somewhere. Promise. In the late 1960s and early 70s, the country went kind of nuts. Marvin Gaye noticed, and decided to say something. He'd had lots of success singing what are now classic soul songs ("Heard It Through The Grape Vine" anyone? Doesn't anyone else think it's weird and wrong? Is it just me? Here's why this stuff sti...

Monday, February 24, 2014. New Computer, No Excuse. I have seriously gotten out of the habit of blogging. My, as the kids say, bad. Part of the reason has been an overall lethargy brought on by too many kids, too little sleep, and the instantaneous satisfaction of putting every single thought I have worth sharing (and some not, let's face it) on Facebook. But I am taking steps to fix that. Heap of jellied um, things.what? I must be tired. Bed time. See you soon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, February 19, 2015. Snow Brings Heat (Capsaicin and Me). This past weekend it snowed. It was a light, fluffy sort of snow, but there was enough accumulation that I needed to shovel the driveway. It didn't take long and wasn't too strenuous so I got the job done and didn't think too much about it. Until the backache started, that is. But, here's the thing. Capsaicin is the ingredient found in cayenne peppers that makes the peppers hot. Yup I put pepper juice on my skin. I can only imagine. Simple...
