I’m no fan of winter, but there’s no sound more comforting than snowploughs rumbling in the dark of night.

Seems that Cat Power is playing History. The last time I saw her was at Fallsview, where she sang Dylan's Royal Albert Hall Concert '66. I saw her with my last girlfriend, who was quite definitely Not Impressed. That was a sign. I dumped her a couple more red flags later. Good riddance.

There are tough anniversaries at this time of year and I was feeling pretty blue, but hanging out with a friend all weekend really lifted me out of that. But how to say that without making things weird? I’m not sure we as a friends pair or even as a larger society are there yet. And it’s sad.

It’s my personal sunken cost fallacy that I keep watching Outlander. There are no more nude scenes, I forget who all these people are, and the only character I like is Rollo the dog.

Lord, give me grace to accept with serenity the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,

Sunday night and British crime dramas on PBS. It’s like baseball on the radio — I just like the sound and cadence of it. Whatever happens is incidental and unimportant.

In the midst of avoiding online dating in favour of the old-fashioned real life contacts, I bonded hot and fast with a woman tonight over Laid by James, and it felt good and right. Awkwardly slipped my digits, and now we’ll see. youtu.be/0trh9Y598fM?...
