Bed Rest

I can’t seem to shake this head cold and have completely lost my voice, which greatly puts in jeopardy my Thanksgiving song. There’s still some chance I can post by Friday. It’s a rare thing to find Huckleberry Spins so speechless. In the meantime, me and my quill pen remain relegated to the bed, studiously […]

Atomic Chivalry

No, really, me first. I insist. There are strong signs that Israel will attack Iran to ensure that its nuclear program does not come to any sort of functional and capable and lethal fruition.

Allegedly,

Wow. This was nearly a new record. I sat down at my computer at 8:09 pm without a topic for today’s blong. Finished recording at 9:25 pm. My previous best had been High Alert Pt. 1, which I completed in roughly an hour, prior to trick-or-treating and then jumping on a plane. Today’s song was […]
