Time distortion. 30 minutes is a LONG time to attempt to teach ukulele to a (sweet and well behaved) 5-year-old with a normal 5-year-attention span.

Getting into the Krampus season.

If you like moody jazz, old James Bond movies, murder ballads, and southern folklore, maybe The Secret Sounds is your new favorite band.

Here’s a little picture of St. Expedite I drew after I had an unexpected bit of money to pay for my son’s Summer camp. I also had a dented rear bumper. Nothing is free.

Print it out and stick it to your own candle!

Here’s the High Priestess from my Retromodern Tarot deck. #tarot #tarotsky #witchsky

I got a preview of new music from Chris McKay, who was a bandmate 35-ish years ago.

I’m constantly amazed that some of the best art in the world right now is being made by my friends.

A few things that leveled up my jazz (guitar) improvisation:

Not scales, but every note is a chord tone or a passing tone/approach note.

Every note has a vibe that changes over every chord.

Melodies create and resolve tension.

Phrasing is more important than note choice.

Two things that leveled up my tarot chops:

Reading with only the 22 cards from the Major Arcana (this is how it was done before the RWS was published).

Reading with a regular deck of playing cards.

The game I’m working on now is Evergreen. I ran it at Dreamation earlier this year. Think The Descent makes out with The VVitch at Lilith Fair.

Evergreen is a PbtA survival horror game where you play as a young woman whose camping trip takes a turn for the worst.
