Greg is a legend.

Fare thee well, my friend, meet you by the River, where the willow grows. Fare thee well…

Bobby Weir has died. There’s plenty of people writing about his life and his music, but we were casual friends for about 8 years, and I’ll miss him as my friend who asked me about my circus days and love of elephants, stole my French fries while talking to Lukas Nelson, always with a guitar in hand.

Bobby Weir has dies. I’m proud to say that we became friends with Bobby and Natasha in the last few years. He was a wonderful man. Others can talk about his legacy, I just wanted to say he was my friend and I’m mourning his loss. May the Summerlands welcome him Home.

These dancers are a common sight at Minneapolis protests and cultural events. Protesters are gathered around as they wait for the protest against ICE to start in south Minneapolis.

Oh yeah, Happy New Year everyone! Hope it’s a good one without any tears…

I just saw a clip of Keith Richards wishing all a Happy New Year, ending in him saying “One Love”. I am bemused, comforted by his words, and amazed by his presence and message. We’ve would have melted down the internet in ‘65 if this level of tech existed back then.

Oh dear, cats in Yule trees. Ah, the memories of the family cats romping among the tinsel and shattered glass globes. Have a lovely Hanukah/Yule week of celebrations.

Odd…what is my Wednesday doing at your place? For the same reason as you, put up soft ornaments on the tree and left the 50s hand blown Hungarian ornaments nestled in their cocoons for another time. Wednesday does love shiny things. And tissue paper, and gift bags and ribbon spools……

I threw up a little in my mouth. Cuomo is using every NY trope about ‘crime’ and ‘the other’. AI demonstrates just how dangerous it is already, as it ‘learns’ the danger increases exponentially. I hope Silwa finishes in 2nd place.

Anybody else seen the new US Mint collectible DC Comics Coin & Medal offers? This year, medals for Superman, Batman and Wonder Women are currently on offer. Future offerings will include the Flash, Bat Girl, Robin and other DC superheroes. I’m getting some to give to our youngest generation.

I’m disgusted in PBS just folding as they have done. They should be
Lobbying big ticket donors , holding big fundraisers, taking trump to
Court. Publicly they should raise a ruckus and share funds as possible. We have one rural station here, I’m going to donate directly to both stations & radio too.
