HI I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT MUSIC

Rain and books.

Can’t make new live music right now, but I’m still working on stuff. https://carbon7.bandcamp.com/album/a-walk-in-the-quark

Play this. Play this through headphones. Close your eyes and play this loud.

I just got called “gramps” by someone on the internet. You know what? My granddaughter is a pretty freaking cool little person.

I am 57 years old and just spelled aisle right without having to look it up for the first time in my life.

I always think “Oh, rice will just take 5 minutes,” forgetting to take into account the 10 minutes it takes to find the measuring cup. #timingiseverything

It’s Productivity Saturday! I’ve meditated! I’ve showered! I’m dressed & put on a nice shirt! And now I’m gonna... lay back down for a while.

I’m eating a pretty good apple while cooking dinner. I forget about them sometimes. Friends- don’t forget apples.

This is a pretty good article about Leonard Cohen. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/leonard-cohen-remembering-the-life-and-legacy-of-the-poet-of-brokenness?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Just sitting here watching the seconds tick by. https://days.to/election-day-in-us/2020

Food: it’s what’s for dinner.

One of life’s simple pleasures: eating food.

I borrowed a guitar & am haphazardly trying to learn to play this little toy. Finessing these tiny strings is harder than it looks. Hoping for lessons when *all this* passes next fall maybe?

Another roll of black & white film from Oakwood Cemetery in Austin. I learned a lesson. Thought I was taking advantage of the “golden hour” light, but the sun was shining straight on to the stones, which made the beveled lettering hard to read on a lot of these. Need to go do this section again around 1 or 2 in the afternoon.

What a couple of weeks. Haven’t posted in a bit, so I just wanted to report that we’re all healthy here at the house (me, wife, mother-in-law, son, son’s girlfriend) and hanging in there. It’s springtime which is a thing. I have work for now, though I’m piecing it together. Everyone else is retired or furloughed.

Lockdown & anxiety = all day to worry. I need structure.
