March 23rd, 2021. Broadband.
Hey – if you don’t have access to decent internet, call the FCC at 888-225-5322 and select option 4. (or fill out this form : https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001440131) The FCC is theoretically once again trying to get a handle on broadband accessibility because in a capitalist world you can’t rely on for-profit companies reaching people who aren’t…

March 20th, 2021. Sweet dreams are made of these…
3 weird dreams last night. There was the axe search. There was the weird indescribably chute. And there was … something with Heather. What was the thing with Heather?

March 18th, 2021. Shake the Frost.
Making it all go. Live from the Lair this Wednesday with Rowan in the Laundry Lair… Tyler Childers’ “Shake the Frost” is close to the perfect song this morning. I let my fingers guide me and spent time scrolling on Facebook this morning and now my mood has plummeted to remind me that that’s NEVER…

March 15th, 2021. Delicious catchup.

March 7th, 2021. It’s March.
Michael Amster says: 5 years ago Rob, so much loss…so much pain. Even the rituals that help us cope with loss, have been lost to the pandemic. I too am sad. A year gone by, so many experiences have been missed. But still we are here. We have adapted. We have coped…sort of. But we…

March 7th, 2021. Chirp.
If only I could go down to my Lair and play music. But that would Release the Beest. As I’ve been moving the Journal I’ve been thinking about how many “can’t sleep” entries there are and about how there haven’t been any of those recently mostly because it’s been COLD and I tend to leave…
