I planted dahlias for the first time this year and boy, they sure are pretty.
Nature heals!

The world is burning down, but at least I’ve got my band The Zip-Ups playing a gig this Friday night at Warp and Weft to look forward to.

For today’s bit of levity in dark times, Hobbes continues his love affair with my Birkenstocks.

My favorite signs at the No Kings but YAASS Queens parade in Boston on Saturday.

If it’s a warm, sunny day and you could layout to catch some rays anywhere, would you choose outside the library (and my office window)?

Everything is horrible, but I got to play music with my band The Zip-Ups on Friday night, and remembering that gets me through another day.

The president signed an executive order to get rid of IMLS, the tiny agency that supports museums and libraries. We are the wealthiest nation on the planet If you think a service used by millions every year but costs a minuscule amount is a good budget cut, you are a horrible, delusional person.

My friend Dave sent me a surprise gift which is both perfect timing and a good joke.
“I got this!”

It’s okay to put away some of the house sale into a Front Row at a Harry Styles Concert fund, right?
Asking for a friend.

Vermonters protesting Vance coming to ski resulted in some terrific signage. These are my favorites, but you probably can’t beat “Vance skis in jeans.” I cackled.

I love the little ways people fight back.

Saw the Music for Many Occasions Ensemble sing civil rights era songs at my library on Saturday and it brought me hope and inspiration. We shall overcome! Highly recommend a dose of their joy.

This is my new favorite scam text. The Toll Roads Notice of Toll Evasion! Do they think they’re playing D&D or something?

My band is playing on February 19th on the iconic On the Town with Mikey Dee show on WMFO 91.5. Listen in!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!

The server most definitely was NOT Bruno Mars. This restaurant tells lies. Zero stars.

Started reading Icarus by K Ancrum a couple of days ago and I’m kinda obsessed. I think I needed to read something quick but involving right now.
