Decided to pull the trigger on a refurbished 2025 MacBook air instead of the new 2026 model.. $250 less. I think I can survive not having the newer shiny..

Tomorrow morning is the memorial for my friend and I've been asked to read a poem he wrote a few years ago intending it to be read at his funeral. I very much do not want to..

It does make me want to write a limerick for my wife to read should I pass, though..

Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo. It's a lovely sarcastic humor that comes with aging.

Doing God's work. Then again I'm biased as my ringtone is the theme from Barney Miller.

Taking on a project probably bigger than I should that precisely zero people will notice or appreciate but.. it's in memory of the friend who passed so.. there you go. Doesn't matter.

New Claypool Lennon Delirium album pre-ordered. The first two LPs of theirs were damned good so this is an easy leap of faith purchase.

To honor the work of my friend that passed the torch has been picked up to continue his dream of a sustainable scholarship fund.

If you can, please consider donating.

Dear friend of 21 years passed away earlier today and I'm not sure I'll be okay for quite a while. Bill was a remarkable man and an even better friend.
