April 2020


  • April 21st, 2020. Abominable.

    My back hurts. Abominably. Like the snowman. He’s clawing somewhere in my lower back and I can’t even point to gear as the issue. Maybe I pulled something while working out, though I feel like I’ve been a bit slack about that recently. Maybe I just sat at the computer too long. S’no good because…

  • April 17th, 2020. A World of Chaos.

    Wednesday nights after our webcast I’ve been joining a wonderful open mic out of Saint Louis, MO. Really warm, wonderful collective of humans. I like to think I’m pretty clever. But I’d be the first to admit I do dumb shit. I’m intrinsically cynical about human nature but actually quite optimistic about the human spirit…

  • April 14th, 2020. I’m bored (but it hasn’t been boring).

    Heather’s first webcast Saturday night went swimmingly. I was behind the curtainish pushing the URL out and cutting and pasting and replying to requests for information, but more importantly, Heather was awesome. She put a lot of thought into her presentation and continuing her web branding into her physical environment shows how she really ought…

  • April 12th, 2020. It’s Been One Month Since Our Last Gig.

    This cat would like to know more about the Great Outdoors and would like to sample these… whatchacallit… puppies? (reprinted from ilyAIMY upDates 4/12/20) … and just like that… I deleted everything I’d been working on for the last hour or so. Truly, I labour over these things more than I ought to. Honestly, looking…

  • April 9th, 2020. Yesterday vs Today (today wins so far)

    Every day at 6pm I read a story. I’ve been working my way through the short ones, but I have the suspicion we’ll soon hit the ones that might take a whole week to get through… Yesterday was a LOT. Today… is suspiciously bucolic. Church bells are chiming the hour, the birds are chirping, the…

  • March 17th, 2020. rob the President.

    Well shit. Is the most exciting thing REALLY just seeing an antique cassette shell on the street as we’re walking around? Today, rob the President would declare : Business of America:In times of crisis, the federal government needs to be there for the little guy, but we can’t do that without funds. As America we’ve…

  • April 4th, 2020. It’s been 3 Weeks.

    Chalk art in Catonsville. So, I haven’t been typing much for the past three weeks. Theoretically that’s because I actually have been pretty busy. In practice it’s because my Life from the outside has gotta look pretty damned boring. But as I transfer from the Old Journal to the New – it’s good to be…
