Complaining about package delivery is super boring, but nevertheless: is fedex carrying packages in the back of an open pickup or something? Just got something very well packaged that was damp through three levels of cardboard. Thankfully the actual item (hello Dato Drum!) was still dry.

On opening night of the Vancouver Writer’s FestivaI, I was with seven other authors where we were given the prompt to talk about being a Canadian now under this new pressure from tariffs and talks of annexation by the US. Everyone spoke powerfully. (Cont’d)

Prompted by CALLA's cover, learned a bit more about the history of Sinner Man (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinner_...) and made a playlist to accompany the wiki article: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis.... Nina Simone still reigns supreme, and every version since 1965 feels like it's in response to her.

Unexpected side effect of getting the concrete slab for the cat is that the cat is doing a lot more nighttime hollering now. I assume she's using it as an altar of some kind while I'm in bed
