The Traveling Fish: August 2010

Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Basements don't fix everything. I never thought I would say this.but I really miss Midwest weather. It is a thought that has crossed my mind over the past few weeks when I would briefly step outside to go to the car and would feel like I was drowning due to the humidity. It was like atmospheric water boarding. But this week is for an entirely different reason. But I have been glued to the weather for the past few days on this thing. Will it change course? Could I ride it out?

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Amy Farris, RIP. Any of us who saw Dave Alvin touring this summer with his Guilty Women tour were likely as impressed by the band as we were by Dave. Sad news today, then, that fiddler, songwriter and wonderful musician Amy Farris has died. I met her in Los Angeles at a gig with I See Hawks In LA, and she was as charming and nice as she was musically talented. Here's what her family posted on FB:. AMY FARRIS (violin, viola and harmony vocals for Dave Alvin and The Guilty.

Food, nature, place, and more. Friday, September 24, 2010. Most memorable meals, take two: a lobster tale.

Especially from this place. In Massachu...

I looked up from my iPhone and discreetly scanned my surroundings making my way from corner-to-corner of the food court. If an elementary classroom doesn’t bring the sense of certain security it once did before, a mall food court would be no matc...It was ...
