Evans as Podcaster!

Hear Me & See Me

Adding video to my personal web log journal

was inevitable, especially since I received many complements about my audio website. I call it:

My 45-second Slice of Life

CLICK & watch: Evans on the Lamb, My Green Zone

I “shot” the first episode Saturday night with the simple "home movie" capabilities available with the digital camera I have. Using the highest quality setting only yeilds only 45 seconds of recording time.

So, Lights! Camera! Action!

New episodes coming soon!
"Johnny Guitar" "The Big Chair"

A Breakfast Poem!

Eggs & bread

golden yolks burst on the hot skillet

exploding like a thousand solar flares

three altogether scrambling in a vortex

of rapid clockwise fork strokes

a tang of cheddar blended-in to finish.

fresh bread erupts its metal-pan confines

sweet smelling yeast -yielded manna

quick the knife true smooth and clean

slices even and equal toasted lightly

a spread of butter jam seals its fate

a cup of joe java coffee

brewed hot and hearty drunk black

the nose tastes the aroma of vigor

on the tongue a scent of confidence

ah! this vital sustenance this breakfast

good morning noon or night


et in terra pax homnibus

Listen to Evans

"I am not my father's son. Nor was my father, his father's son. HIs father, Michael Evanetski, my Gigi (Unrainian for grandpa) was a persona onto himself. Called Iron Mike by his coal miner peers for the hard-working, hard-drinking, no nonsense fife as a colliery foreman" excerpt from Iron Mike

Evans: Alive & Well!

I'm still here, alive and well. But I've had a busy couple of months since last posting to my blog.

I returned on Jan. 11 from Colorady where I spent a month-long extended holiday in with my sister Nancy and her husband Bob.

Since then, and for the next several days, I'll be busy with adding an audio edition of an essay I've written for my column that will be published n the Winter Issue of Artistry of Life. Several attempts to transfer the audio files to teh editor have not been successful.

Just briefly, things are basically OK with me, except for the various disabling symptoms I continue to experience daily with my Parkinson's condition. I will soom have to make plans to move to Colorado on a semi-permamnet basis, setting up a residence in a seven-room home my Nancy and Bob own in Loveland. I'll be heading west in June for a six-month trial run afterwhich I'll make a decisoin to stay or return to Warren. I'll keep my apartment in Warren, rather than cut loose al ties here, should I decide the Colorado is not for me.

I'll post the written version of my essay "Iron Mike" which is about my grandfather once it clears publication in Artistry of Life. I'll have another general update next week.
