I’ve been recording little instagram videos of myself, mostly to promote my various music projects, records coming out, shows coming up, that sort of thing. I’ll do or say something silly for about 30 seconds and then I’ll conclude with some announcement about the music. The other day, though, I recorded a video in whichContinue reading “We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Program To Write About Joy As A Form of Resistance”

We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Program to Talk About Usernames and Passwords and Thanksgiving
I’m on the studio computer a couple of days before Thanksgiving while my wife is entertaining a friend upstairs in the living room, and in an effort to be courteous but wanting still to make progress on the music listening/writing project, I decide to listen to music in the basement and record my experience inContinue reading “We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Program to Talk About Usernames and Passwords and Thanksgiving”
A Recrudescence in America
Ain’t that the whole truth. America is experiencing a recrudescence, one that will last four long years, and have repercussions, possibly, for decades to come.

On the Fourth Day of 2024: Chipmunk Instagram
I don’t know how long I will keep this up. It’s late in the afternoon now and I have had a somewhat productive day so far. Meditation, bicycling, breakfasting, coffee making and coffee drinking, making a silly reel for instagram, picking my boy up from school, grabbing lunch at Panda Express (my only mistake ofContinue reading “On the Fourth Day of 2024: Chipmunk Instagram”
On the First Day of 2024: Meditation, Bicycling, Music, Reading and Writing
I tried as best as I could to have a great day, a day that included at least a sampling of all the things I love to do and all the things I’m committing to do more of in the new year. I’ll make a quick list here for your generous perusal. So that, inContinue reading “On the First Day of 2024: Meditation, Bicycling, Music, Reading and Writing”
