We spend alot of our now looking to the south politically.
But taken literally try this.
Look to the south
There’s the sun
Bask in it for a moment even if it’s -32 with windchill
Take some long breaths and enjoy a speck of vitamin D.
But taken literally try this.

Made no year end lists but made a living for another year. Precarious little occupation I’ve chosen, but as St Paul says it “beats picking cotton and waiting to be forgotten”

Am I the only one who gets emotional looking at younger photos of our kids who are now teenagers. All the cliches apply here about the nature of childhood etc

I’ll never afford a cottage, but if I ever did have one, I’d have signs in large print down by the water that’s say things like:
“nothing to see here, keep paddling”
“why are you staring at us”
You know, really bring the community energy to the non primary residence.

If nothing else, Taylor Swift has me referring to other groups various periods of work as “ERAS”.
Like today, I wrote how I love hearing that RUSH is back, but the first song that came to mind is New World Man from their lesser appreciated “Signals” era.

I feel like we are living in a time void of critical music reviews. Where has the 1.5 star review gone and simple statements like “nothing exciting creatively here unless you like things that have already been made”.
Hehehe
