Been awhile since I’ve posted. What prompts me to now? Sheer frustration of working with people who cannot detach from their phones. So I get on mine and complain to the void. Sorry, void, that you have to hear so much screaming.

Stop rejecting a good life because it isn't the specific good life you wanted.

I now begin year 40.

Enjoyed Coogler’s Sinners very much. It may very well ignite more interest in the delta blues, and that makes me happy for my friends in Clarksdale.

Too many are mistaking conniving actions as “hard work”.

What a tragic start to the year for some of America’s most vibrant cities. I stayed near the Palisades for a couple of nights a few years ago and found the area to be incredibly beautiful. How long will this fire burn?

The 6th. Twelfth Night. Epiphany. My aunt’s birthday. Unfortunately I must also remember and reflect on the attacks on the capitol four years ago, because some are hoping those memories become faded and altered.

Our New Year’s Eve tradition: at midnight we open the back door, letting the old year out, and open the front door, letting the new year in.

I suppose storms can happen in liminal spaces and it was perhaps naive to think otherwise.

Yesterday was the winter solstice. 2024’s shortest day or longest night? Is the glass half full or half empty? As always, it depends on if you’re drinking or pouring.

I know at my age, with my education and intelligence and access to the internet, I should know exactly what cookies are and whether or not I should allow them. But I simply do not. And maybe I never will.

It appears I’ve lost a beloved family member today. Despite some recent health issues it was unexpected. Another familial pillar my life has rested on seems to have fallen. It feels surreal to carry on among the ruins, but her support has blessed me with bright days which endure.

Today, Black Friday, I ate lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee. Country music renditions of standard Christmas carols played along a looped soundscape of bird calls, thunderstorms, and big cat growls.

Thanksgiving 2024: New Orleans to Memphis to Nashville. Good times, but I hope to stay home next year.
