Brother Thelonious

By Varrin Swearingen | March 2, 2008 - 6:51 AM |March 2, 2008 Uncategorized
2 Comments

Got down here to Memphis yesterday afternoon and went out to stock my studio hotel room (with almost complete kitchen; no oven). Found a 750 ml bottle of Brother Thelonious beer. I ran into them at the Monterey Jazz Festival last year. The North Coast Brewing Company has made a … Continue reading →

Marshall

The time has come to start catching up on last week’s activities. Despite the circumstances, it was a good week. Last week’s entry about the tower tour gives a bit of an introduction to the long time friendship between Marshall Fritz, my dad and myself. I had already started to … Continue reading →

The Sugar Group

By Varrin Swearingen | February 26, 2008 - 2:23 AM |May 21, 2014 Faith
Leave a comment

It occurs to me that I haven’t introduced the Sugar Group on this blog. In fact, I’m not really sure if the history of the Sugar Group has ever really been committed to paper. I am occasionally asked about it because of my email address and I usually give the … Continue reading →

To Glorify God

I’ve known Jerry for nearly two decades. I don’t actually recall when we first met but it would have been before 1991, maybe by a year or three. He’s now 54 and his son, Jeremy is just a few years younger than me. About 4 years ago he was diagnosed … Continue reading →

A tour of the tower

4 Comments

This, I suppose, will go down in the ‘history of me’ category. The time has come to tell a story that will probably wander a bit. It’s partly a trip down memory lane, but partly in anticipation of next week’s trip to California. It’s a story I’ve told many times, … Continue reading →

Annie Get Your Gun

Yesterday was Valentines Day. I’ve had some Valentines days that I’ve been home, and others that I’ve been away. This year, I had the pleasure of being home, which was actually a change from the original schedule. A week or so ago, Edi suggested that, since I’d be here, we … Continue reading →

There are many broken things and people this week. Some of them might be fixable. Others are not. Some are unknown. The time since I got home has been pretty rough….. I came home to find the printer broken. Ordered a part. Don’t know if that’ll fix it (or if … Continue reading →

Keys

By Varrin Swearingen | February 11, 2008 - 12:27 PM |February 11, 2008 Uncategorized
2 Comments

I had 6 keys on my keyring that go to stuff I’m not sure I even have anymore. One likely goes to the lock on my bike. The bike would take a little work to get running (tires, WD40, etc.) and the key probably wouldn’t work the lock anymore. A … Continue reading →
