In remembrance of a voice that haunted a cassette tape I was given and nearly wore out...

Thanks for the songs Shane

I got a fresh 22# bird from my brother on Thursday. Last time I got one I mostly deboned it.

Took it one level further today and I'm kind of happy with how it turned out. But also, I hate feather bones.

Cooked the tenders for dinner, the rest is batched and ready for brine then the freezer.

“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

two pair of shoes attached to the utility pole toes down on an urban street in Fox Point Providence. I took the photos and suddenly from the shaded back corner of the parking lot behind me, came a clear strong old voice, "I put them there"

A stroller, left on the sidewalk, perhaps kid was extracted and the parent had a diaper blowout up the back and needed to deal with that right away, or something, it was the stroller sitting there that first caught my eye and then the triangle of light that stopped me.

Well shit, that's not terribly fucking impressive, but in retrospect, not all that surprising.

My neighbor @gewilli.bsky.social took matters into his own hands and constructed a plow for the bike path some years ago, and let me have a turn at pulling it:

FINALLY got the double jab yesterday.

Way later than I had hoped to, but it is done and it is a weight lifted.

Now to see how the day goes and how much this round of the combo impacts me.

And if you were like me and haven't yet... Go get the vaccines. Most places do walk up shots.

Someone didn't get the orange and blue memo this morning for Dirt Church.
Six old men on mountain bikes all wearing blue and orange (orange is required where we ride) and the one guy visiting from NY didn't get the memo.

I remember reading Maya Angelou describe writing The Color Purple, when I was a kid in school, as the entire story and characters existing on their own, and how she was merely the portal for them to enter this world. That struck me profoundly and never left me.

My tortured soul Lives deep Within The keys and guts Of my typewriter And the years Of ink stains And dried nibs That need to be Cleaned. I see words Everywhere I go, Everywhere I look, And they wink and nod, As they dash away Into shadows And the silently moving lips Of strangers In the distance. November 28, 2025

And Emily always seems to feel the need to smile for the camera, WHILE RACING

“English folklore, that’s hot!”
