Books, bicycles, beer (the occasional tiki drink), good food, good music... that just about covers it.
Why hasn't Gaviscon secured the rights to Jimmy Webb's "Galveston" for their commercials? So close... it's right there.

Overshadowed by the Department of Education yesterday was the invasion of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, an independent agency with a tiny $276M in federal funding. It pays for things like digital access for rural communities, e-books, summer reading programs, and support for museums.

Now and then, I like to go back and play Civilization VI just for kicks. I've loved the game since the early 90s. I haven't tried VII yet (old dog/new tricks). But my favorite thing about VI is being in Emperor mode, you just get knights and you see your neighbor already has helicopters.

If I don't get this blanket out for her, she will yell and try to get in my lap while I work. The joys of working from home.

I've been so negligent in my #DailyGood, mostly because there is very little good happening with the avalanche of crap daily. But, as my birthday approaches, I thought I'd share some good from a birthday buddy (but before my time) - The great Faron Young.

The struggle is real to find something good each day. Mostly I'm hunkering down working or rage scrolling. I'm getting back in shape and avoiding alcohol, sugar, most processed foods, etc. (ugh). But, that doesn't stop me from wanting this good. Hopefully soon.

If you're listening to a song, and the singer calls out, "we be jammin," and that singer is not Bob Marley, I can pretty much guarantee you they are not, in fact, jammin. Nor have they ever been jammin.

Still struggling to keep up with the good, and struggling with the struggle. But today's good is 31 years old and still going strong. Half my PRs are on this bike - not my road bike. #SteelisReal
Thanks to the weather for a break today.

Still reeling from the onslaught of outright destruction, racism, misogyny, stupidity, and hate in this new administration.
But, I saw a post somewhere asking what song instantly made you a fan on first listen. This immediately came to mind.

I missed my yesterday's post for... uh... *do you not freaking see what's going on?!?!* um... reasons. #DailyGood is supposed to remind me there's still reasons to wake up and enjoy a smidge of something - anything - good each day. So, thank you Spurs for FINALLY winning a match (since November)!

I usually read at night instead of watching TV. Given the state of *things*, I needed an escape so I started @johnconroe01.bsky.social "The Demon Accords Series" because I wanted fast paced stories of someone just kicking evil ass. In just two weeks I'm 7 books in and it fits the bill.

Everything is overwhelming. I can usually fall back on some finer things to give myself a little break and brief pleasure - unfortunately, pasta and wine are out of the question for the 1st quarter of this year. So, it's up to music for that lift!

Among many other diverse likes and loves, I am a big West Coast Jazz fan. On a chilly Sunday, I love to put on something smooth and swinging and have a cappuccino (yes, that sounds pretentious and no, I'm not, I don't think).
Today it's the massive talent and genius of Hampton Hawes.

As I've noted, I'm a 60s spy spoof fan. But that comes from a love of James Bond. Not that he needs defending but, I think Timothy Dalton was a really good Bond and it was the 80s production and writing that mostly failed him.
Best of his two? The Living Daylights. Give it a rewatch.

I need a little boost this Friday. It's been a down week from snow days, a lingering cold, and the general unpleasantness in this country. So to pick me up, I turn to The War and Treaty. A recent discovery (for me) tracking artists on Garden & Gun's Back Porch Sessions. Amazing voices.

Ars Gratia Artis - that, to me, is folk and outsider art. For some artists, it's a compulsion. For others, it's their core and why they keep going. No on exemplified this more than the late Daniel Johnston. I miss his simplicity and pureness, in his music and his visual art.

Being sick last week reminded me of being sick as a child. I mentioned the clean sheets and fold-out couch earlier. But when I was sick, I'd get Sprite and then the big cans of this way too sweet punch. But I did love the commercials (and asking my brother if he wanted a Hawaiian Punch).

Today's #DailyGood is a sad one. Garth Hudson, the last living member of The Band, died today. If you were to ask me if I had a favorite band, I'd hem and haw and toss out a few names but always come back to The Band. There will never be another.

No, I'm not late to the game. First it was outlaw country and country rock in the 70s, then cowpunk, alt-country, and now Americana. And finding artists who keep that going yet still sound fresh and new is always a pleasure. I still go back, but good to see some going forward.
