Festivus is officially here, I went to my first holiday show, Robinson & Rohe’s Longest Winter. This is a tradition, I see it at least once every year. This time it was at the Common Ground Coffeehouse. How much is this a home game? When sound check was over Jean said, “Are you doing merch. […]

Dateline Van Merc Hill: I hear other people awake. I could join them but it’s parent/child time so I think I’ll write till breakfast starts cooking. There are still other guests sleeping. I’m used to be the last to wake up. Yesterday was Second Thanksgiving. I think I like that even more than first Thanksgiving. […]
I spent another day at home. The worst part is that I didn’t get my phone fixed. I’ve been editing and posting pictures fromNERFA and impressed at how well the pictures came out before I damaged the camera lens. My phone camera does something my real camera doesn’t do, give me continuous control of white […]

See Bri’s Art
Yesterday’s highlight was seeing a photography show featuring, among others, BriBri Dougherty. Normally I use just their first name but this is a professional reference so I use both. My Gentle Readers know Bri as my great friend and Budgiedome partner in musician wrangling, Paul calls her the Gordon wrangler.

I have many competing ideas, I can go personal, I can go religious, I can go political/philosophical. I can write about snow. I think I’m going for potpourri. […]

As Good As Goldman
The main event yesterday was Sharon Goldman’s birthday concert.
I’m going to write about seeing Miles and Mafale and friends but before that I’m going to tell an ugly story and use an ugly word. If you want to skip that and get to fun it begins after the horizontal line.
All Gaul is divided into three parts but this entry is divided into two, a doctor visit and seeing Mya. That opening would work better if I were at the doctor for my gall bladder, but I’m no longer in possession of one. I have Crohn’s disease. I had cancer of the small intestine. I […]
It’s time to preach again; the subject of today’s sermon is fear. In the last week there was a massacre in a synagogue, two blacks killed in a store when the killer couldn’t get into the black church, and a spate of bombs sent to opponents of Trump through the mail. Our fight or flight […]
