An atheist in a town called Christiansburg. Oh, the irony.

We lost Mom two years ago today. I miss her, but I'm happy with how well I and (especially) Brett have adjusted to life without her.
Mom's gravesite. The headstone reads "Helen L. Hart, beloved wife and mother" and has her dates on it.

Enjoying my day off work -- decadently slept in until 9 and am finally getting around to listening to the #Ultravox box set I bought a few weeks ago.
Front cover of Ultravox "Lament". The cover is entirely matte black with the band name and title printed in spot varnish on the surface.

This just arrived.
Recognized by genre aficionados as one of the greatest singers and most riveting stage presences in soul music, Jackie Shane has remained largely unknown outside Toronto, where her career briefly flourished in the 1960s. Ms. Shane is a star without parallel -- a pioneer of transgender rights born in a male body, living her entire life as a woman at a time when to do so seemed unthinkable. "Any Other Way" is the first artist-approved collection of Ms. Shane's work, collecting all six of her 45's and every highlight from the legendary 1967 live sessions at the Sapphire Tavern. "Any Other Way" marks Jackie Shane's first communication with the public in nearly half a century. Extensive liner notes tell, for the first time ever, Ms. Shane's story in her own words. This deluxe two disc set is copiously illustrated with never-before-seen pictures from a career and a life unlike any other.
