We missed seeing Steve Earle when he appeared at the Creighton Theater in Conroe recently, but we did listen to him on July 7th addition of NPR’s World Cafe. If you have the time to listen, click here.

Anyway You Want It
Posted in Family, Music with tags Chase Morris, karoake, video on July 11, 2009 by kenneturner
Chase and his dad, Justin
After first singing a song a cappella to his great grandmother, and not to be outdone by adults doing their karaoke thing, Chase shows class even as the words stop appearing on the karaoke monitor, which is interesting since he is not yet a reader. Obviously, he does recognize the words.

Virginia’s 85th Birthday Celebration
Posted in Family, Friends with tags 85th birthday, Virginia's Birthday on July 8, 2009 by kenneturner
Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends and additional relatives gathered the past June to express their individual and shared love of Virginia Chapman. This year Virginia entered the 85 years-plus age group, which represent 1.7% of the total population. In California, her new group is a little smaller, 1.4%.
This special woman did not become special just by entering this small, special population group. Virginia has been a special love one, for so many, all her eighty-five years. She generates a feeling of privilege in those who know her.
You can click here to see a photoset of the celebration on Flickr.
I hope to finish editing a video of the event soon.

A Big Thanks To The Guys on The Roof
Posted in Life, Work with tags 100+ degrees, Houston, Roof Replacement, Summer heat on July 3, 2009 by kenneturner
The crew from Donahoe Roofing have spent the last two days replacing our roof in 100+ degrees. I say 100+ when the ground temperture was over 100 degrees, only God knowing how much hotter it was near the roof surface. Since I have been around most of the time, I have witnessed how draining it has been. To deal with the heat, they have spent twelve plus hours each day doing a job that normally would have been completed in a little more than a day. It should be noted that this crew has been working in temperatures near or over 100 degrees for over a month now.
It can be a bitch working construction in the gulf coast.

zero and one
Posted in Art, Life, Photography, Poetry with tags being and nothingness, zero and one on July 3, 2009 by kenneturner
zero and one
zero in nothing
nonentity
one is something
favored
zero is nothingness
it isn’t there
one is being
existence
zero gives meaning
imposing subjectivity
one gives consciousness
imposing objectivity
zero cannot be one
only know one
one cannot be zero
only know zero
zero and one together
shape the imagination
zero and one together
shape the world
