Dabbler in many things, master of few or none. But I’m trying. Moving to the PNW saved me.
Ribs finished. #barbecue #smokedmeat #BGE

Maiden voyage of my XL Big Green Egg, gifted to us by family who weren’t using it. Figured some ribs would be a good first test. #barbecue #BGE #SmokedMeat

They’re wearing half aprons. I wore one many moons ago when waiting tables right out of college. Good for carrying order pads and spare flatware but not much else.

Switched over to the CD player to listen to Bill Evans - Tales, Live in Copenhagen (1964). Impeccable live recording of his trio. #NowPlaying #JazzSky #MusicSky

#NowPlaying Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section. Another all-time classic. #JazzSky #MusicSky

#NowPlaying Memorial Album by Clifford Brown. I’ve been trying to listen to more classic jazz trumpet that isn’t Miles Davis (I love Miles, but yeah) and this is an astounding document by a player who left this world too soon. #JazzSky #MusicSky

WFH today means listening to as much vinyl as I can. Think it might be an all-jazz-all-day session.

Starting off with Cannonball Adderly’s Somethin’ Else. What an amazing group of musicians operating at their peak. It’s cliche to call it a classic but it is. #jazzsky #musicsky #nowplaying

Mom’s in town for a visit. Driving around Portland, where to go for lunch? Her declaration that she craved grilled cheese is why we’re at Lardo.

Is sharing sleep scores a thing? This is what happens when my Thursday is my Friday and I leave work at work and I have no self-perpetuating anxiety.

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year

Fortunately I’m smarter than that. Here’s a beer for you to contemplate.

At Ryman Auditorium for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. Bucket list show about to be checked off.

This is how Junie naps. Weirdo golden retriever.

Rock show at Mississippi Studios with Rival Schools. Wild getting to see Walter with them and Quicksand in the same year.

Was t sure I’d ever get to see TV on the Radio again.

Our golden retrievers are goofy. Here’s one.

WFH today and both of our golden retrievers are sleeping on the bed in our spare room/my home office. One of them is a total gas bag and I’d never name names, Lewis.

@erniebufflo.bsky.social Oh, look what I purchased because of your recommendation.

Arky on the main screen, A&M/ND on the iPad (scouting ahead for the miserably difficult schedule ahead of Arky).

Not mine, but this has been a recurring theme for 25 years or so.

I don’t know whether the superintendent has been writing her communications or if someone else has, but I’m tired of this kind of anti-union language.

Nothing but Mastodon the rest of the day. RIP, Brent.
