birf daze


Yesterday my oldest best friend turned 50. Tomorrow my brother Jefe turns 51. The days stretch ever longer as the solstice approaches. a full moon crested yesterday. life returns to its natural rhythms. peace pervails.

Last week /end JEff was in town to see mom (who went into hospital soon after he returned to Wisconsin) Richard & Miles stay a few days bereaving his eldest sister (Diane, Christian's mom.) many libations and sacred rituals later a jam is attempted in the crammed basement...

captured hastily with a portable stereo recorder. the talking between jams is the best parts. an instant classic: Pop Pa Wood y.

work swirls around ESL and Foreign Language classes. punctuated by Lit out Loud and Writer's Block meetings. subtle shifting of alliances and emerging intrigue keep the tension at work palatable. some people. get abused.

Brian tells stories of michigan cougars and his daughter in the news. Her google hits have quadroopled in the last month.

enough with made up words. imagination is inspiration. talk is cheap.

began reading a new slate of books after lingering on two Chinese novels and a book of lyrics.
