2/2: Two days later after the fence was removed. From the angle behind me, whether intentional or not, it looks like someone protecting themselves from getting hit with a police baton.

Say hello to the new year.
Will you say goodbye
to the same old shit?
Will you trust your eye
just a little bit?
You know.

Say goodbye to your problems.
Say a little "hi"
to forgotten dreams,
to survivors of
demolished schemes
you know. ...

1/2: A week ago, I came across a sketch for a composition that I barely remember writing almost four years ago at the Copley Square Library in Boston, a great place for laptop composers to work if you have a good set of headphones.

Got out of work on time this morning for once and enjoyed hearing my music on The Classics on #WREK after I boarded my bus home. Perfect start to the new month.

Another speedy delivery by UPS ahead of schedule. Total delivery time from dropoff in Swampscott, MA to the final destination in NYC: 20 hours and 18 minutes.

I personally recommend UPS for shipping merchandise. Safe and speedy delivery. USPS would still have my package in Boston.

Thanks for the gift, @themattsdemello.bsky.social. Now if I only had a turntable to play it on. 10-yr remaster of Matt Demello's first album There's No Place Like Nowhere. If you like keyboard shredding/multi-instrumentalists in the 70s singer/songwriter vein, a must-have.
