the cassette and the valiant

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Peter RorvigMarch 1, 2013

I don’t know if it’s context …or if the strength of the songwriting is the “thing”…but some albums, and some songs in particular, stick with me like a brand on my spirit. The first time I heard this album, other … Continue reading →

off brand bands

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Peter RorvigFebruary 28, 2013

Your “hipness quotient” always goes up if you like bands that no one’s ever heard of. I was never so hip that I really went off the radar…no punk bands from the South of France…no South African pan steel bands … Continue reading →

Having a power outage gives you time to talk to your spouse. There’s no television, no computer, no cordless telephone…there’s no distractions. So my wife and I had a conversation down in the kitchen about a lot of things.  We … Continue reading →

comfort and habit

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Peter RorvigFebruary 26, 2013

We had an ice storm today. At 4:30 in the morning, I noticed the lights flickering when I went downstairs to make some coffee…and shortly after that we lost power for the day. The whole day. Good grief…we are creatures … Continue reading →

full viking

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Peter RorvigFebruary 25, 2013

They say that it’s probably smart to play your hand close to your vest. When it’s a bunch of hair growing out of your face, that’s a hard thing to do. I’m growing my beard out as we speak. I … Continue reading →

my big world

Posted on February 24, 2013 by Peter RorvigFebruary 24, 2013

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.  Arthur  Shopenhauer Arggghhh…driving the mail 6 days a week is too challenging. I don’t mean that it’s a job I can’t do….nothing like … Continue reading →

don’t go swimming with the ducks

Posted on February 23, 2013 by Peter RorvigFebruary 23, 2013

We feed the ducks at Lake Julian. It’s the lake where this plant is.  It’s the lake with the signs that say something like “No Swimming.  No Wading.” etc. We always wondered just what the heck they produced at that … Continue reading →

“they” only talk about the weather

Posted on February 22, 2013 by Peter RorvigFebruary 22, 2013

I think mailmen must be like farmers. My life is becoming more and more ruled by the weather. It’s not a case of bad weather ever stopping me from getting out and sliding around on the roads…it’s just a matter … Continue reading →

there’ll be knock-offs at the flea market

Posted on February 21, 2013 by Peter RorvigFebruary 21, 2013

“Say…have you heard anything about five day delivery?” That’s my new running joke that I ask customers out on the mail route these days.  It’s pretty hilarious. We (Postal workers) are always the last to know.  I have to watch … Continue reading →
