#Books Finished #reading 'Whitefoot' (Counterpoint, 2009), a children's book (illustrated) I found on my late darling wife's night table while ridding our bedroom of the death juju. This from that: "That one lives at the center of the world is the world's profoundest thought."

Related to Dewey Cheatham and Howe.

Wow. @misterquartet.bsky.social Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection 2026 Vol 04 was fabulous. And plus also too, Mr. Blue used the expression "jiggery pokery"!

@misterquartet.bsky.social Thanks for all the classical music on vol. 04. Very nice.

Thank you, Peter. No one deserved the brutality of the last 17 months, least of all my luminous Sherri. 💔

And plus also too, you bought *60* CDs? Your Executive Producer is very understanding indeed!

@misterquartet.bsky.social Ciśnienie - [angry noises] !!!

Thank you, Elizabeth. 🥲

Last evening, at 4:30pm Pacific, the light and love of my life passed from this plane. Next Saturday, Valentine's Day, we would have been married 41 years. I promised her that while I'd miss her every day and in every way, I'd be fine. And I shall, in time. #FuckCancer #IWillAlwaysLoveYouSherri

Meanwhile, in local news, Marian Jasper Blue of Vista, Calif. is petitioning the Superior Court of San Diego to change her name to Marian Thelibrarian. I had not previously realized that Thelibrarian was one word (or, er, name).

When the going gets tough, the tough listen to Bach's Cello Suites.

Indeed. (Actually, "Sad would be *your* day," but I'll allow it. <Uses best Alex Trebek voice>) Another Sandy Denny fan?
