Apparently it takes Gary Larson publishing His_Very_Own_Webpage (and my discovering it) to get me to post again. Really must restart, and this is a good one to go with. He and Bill Watterson, with Calvin and Hobbes, are neck and neck for top living cartoonist (I may be missing many). My wife gave me aContinue reading “The Far Side”

Telegraph Road
The song that has launched innumerable #phototunes. Or so it seems to me; I’ve lost count of the times I’ve shared versions this song with a (hopefully) apropos photograph. Some #phototunes are better than others, and some songs require multiple tries… . In this case, I present you with a gift #phototune presented by GregContinue reading “Telegraph Road”
Ligeti: Devil’s Staircase
Random percussionist post. 1 I do love the piano for being the most versatile and tonally rich, rivaling if not surpassing any rocker’s drum kit.

Fiery sky
Fire season is back in the Southwest. Between the wildfires and prescribed burns going on this Solstice — Happy Solstice! — there is a lot of smoke in the air. We’re presently getting it from the fires East of Phoenix. On my way home from dog training with Bonnie yesterday, we had to stop andContinue reading “Fiery sky”
Mercy Mercy Me
The inimitable Marvin Gaye, ideal foil to Berry Gordon Good ‘ol Tamla. YT suggested this “Soul Purrfection Version” and it is good…
Oh Yeah
Yello’s version, running in my head this evening.
May skies
Leave it to the skyscapes to get me motivated to post again. We’ve had some great early storm clouds this year, bringing agua (es la vida!) del cielo, crepuscular rays, and my favorite kind of light, stormlight. We’ve had an unusually cool and moist Spring here; it feels almost like Autumn some days — yesterdayContinue reading “May skies”
