http://tenpoundpress.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-southwest-chief.html
A hole in the space-time continuum. (Notes by M.C. O'Connor.). When I'm old and gray and settled down. If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town. Then I'll spend my busman's holiday. On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe. The lyrics are by Johnny Mercer. And the tune by Harry Warren. Who also wrote "Chattanooga Choo-choo"). Here's a film version featuring Judy Garland. There's no more Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, alas, the closest thing we have today is Amtrak's Southwest Chief. With the Empire...

TEN POUND PRESS: November 2013
http://tenpoundpress.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
A hole in the space-time continuum. (Notes by M.C. O'Connor.). I love thrift stores. We have a few here in Yreka, and as I had a little time after work today I decided to go a-thriftin' for things I like. What do I like, you ask? Which features performances from a 1973 European tour. Yes, it includes "Take Five" as well as the Mulligan tune "Unfinished Woman" and their take on the classic "Sweet Georgia Brown." Good stuff. The next is Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come. Joe Jackson's I'm the Man.

A hole in the space-time continuum. (Notes by M.C. O'Connor.). XXX: Last Xmas Break. Is in Philadelphia at the end of October and that sounds like something we ought to do, don't you think? People keep asking me how I feel about my impending retirement and I tell them it hasn't quite sunk in yet. Oh, I've been planning this date for the last 15 years, don't get me wrong, and the anticipation has played hell with my équilibre. Wish me luck- every little bit helps. Posted by M.C. O'Connor.

TEN POUND PRESS: You Got Nuthin' Comin'
http://tenpoundpress.blogspot.com/2007/03/you-got-nuthin-comin.html
A hole in the space-time continuum. (Notes by M.C. O'Connor.). You Got Nuthin' Comin'. Just finished Jimmy Lerner's. You Got Nothing Coming: notes from a prison fish. In fact, Lerner notes that Scott Adams, the now-famous cartoonist, was briefly a cubicle away from him when they both worked in Danville, CA at a phone company HQ. I picked up this book on remainder from my favorite source- the Edward R. Hamilton catalog. If you don't get ERH, you are missing out. Posted by M.C. O'Connor. A New Brew For You.

TEN POUND PRESS: The View from the Top
http://tenpoundpress.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-view-from-top.html
A hole in the space-time continuum. (Notes by M.C. O'Connor.). The View from the Top. I posted about Speed's Trail. Before- it's the end of hour-long hike that's about a mile west of my house here in Yreka. I've been up there twice this month and it's a good workout with some rewarding views. The elevation gain is about 1100 feet:. Here's Mt. Shasta, Black Butte, and Greenhorn Reservoir. You can see I-5 snaking southward:. Here's a selfie by the sign for "Speed's Trail":.
