Three Songs You Should Hear (Again?): It’s Time to Rock
Sometimes, you just need to hear something that is going to make your foot tap, your blood flow, make you pretend to play the drums no matter your lack of actual experience in the endeavor.

WANT: Saddleback Leather Messenger Bag
The Our Legacy Postman bag I wrote about a while back has some serious competition for my envy these days.
I was turned on to this company, Saddleback Leather, through a Rivendell Owner’s discussion group.

WANT: Pendleton Bag
I’ve been looking for a good doctor-style bag lately. There are some great options out there. I just got word that these bags are over at Lizard Lounge in PDX. I’m loving what Pendleton is doing with this. Does it remind anyone else of the movie What’s Up, Doc?

Three Songs You Should Hear (Again?): French Edition
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of France. For one reason or another that great country has been on my mind lately and today I’ve gone with the French theme.
