November 27th, 2022. Catching up.
November 20th and we’re recording cello in the Lair. The world plods forward. Ha. That’s a lie. The world HURTLES forward and I’m sent with it holding on with my hastily sharpened teeth. I’ve been cleaning half-heartedly, moving things around, pulling hair out of my computer and cleaning my action figures. Truly, I’ve become a…

November 22nd, 2022. Happy Birthday Dave Eisner.
Happy birthday! A good night, a new open mic. It sort of caught me by surprise. Thursday night we were chatting about maybe having a new open mic. Friday night Dave was like “well, it’ll be my birthday on Tuesday and we got the floors done, we should have an open mic party. But let…

November 17th, 2022. The Enemy.
I’ve got to admit. I follow Fox News. I don’t watch it. No. Don’t be silly. That’d be like running around my kitchen floor and sticking my tongue under the oven. Who knows WHERE that’s been or what I’d catch. But I go to their website every once in a while. I used to use…

November 16th, 2022. Happy ilyVERSARY.
The candles are there to show it is a SPECIAL night!!! As of tonight, as of 8.13pm, Heather and I have been playing together for 21 years. Remember that time all those years ago? Java Head in College Park, MD? We both wore leather pants? No, I barely remember it either. Madness. Still, we’re still…

November 15th, 2022. Recovery.
NERFA was a good time had – and we played lots – or at least ENOUGH. And I took in a lot of music and a little bit of knowledge to boot. Once I’d relaxed into Kristen’s philosophy on the weekend – that we should be glad to just be doing anything DIFFERENT, the whole…

November 11th, 2022. NERFA Day 2.
Last night we tried to make sure we turned in early, knowing that TODAY we really kick into high gear, must remain PRESENT, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and SO the first thing we did was walk down to the beach to retrieve coffee! And then it was time to wander the halls, get educated, educate, and generally…

November 10th, 2022. NERFA Day 1.
Voila! The Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel in Asbury Park, NJ. The last NERFA I attended was at a higher-end hotel. I don’t remember complaining about ANYTHING weird about it. Being introduced to the MANY things I can complain about with the Berkeley, I realize that having a weird hotel for a folk conference is frankly ABSOLUTELY…

October 31st, 2022. Bad dreams.
Last night I dreamt that I was planning my death. Suicide, assisted, messy. I had someone ready to shoot me. I don’t remember why. The clock on my Life had run out. I don’t remember if that was aesthetic, or health-wise, or some sort of science fiction legal proscription. I think there was an implication…
