By the way, that John Gorka concert at Crossings in Zumbrota was great. If you don’t know his music, you should check him out. I love the slightly quirky style of his shows. Crossings was the perfect venue, slightly larger than a house concert. He’s played there many times. You folks in Minnesota should check it out as well.
I haven’t posted much for Micro Monday, but it you like journally stuff (among many other things) you should follow @sproutlight.
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. I haven’t for years. I just don’t get off on this annual paean to American excess.
I found it more interesting to do my taxes instead.
At Crossings in Zumbrota getting ready to hear John Gorka.
Not all the music I listen to is 50 years old. Some is 300 years old. It’s interesting that the distance from now to Bach is only 6 times the distance from now to the Beatles. 🎵
Taking a bit of time for myself and iTunes. I can’t help but smile when I hear The Band playing. 🎸🎹🥁
Need to learn python. Converting some ruby scripts to python, learning as I go. First impressions are not favorable.
I am thoroughly enjoying Le Guin’s So Far So Good. I’m dipping into it, reading a poem every couple of days. I’m normally not a poetry reader and I am selecting poems at random. There do appear to be two sections of poems that are meant to be read in order: So Far and The Night Journey; I haven’t touched those yet. 📚

Fight me. :)
Just about to dip into Ursula K. LeGuin’s So Far So Good. I’m wondering if writing poetry is a craft you can learn or if it is a talent you nurture mostly on your own. Enlighten me, you poets out there. 📚
No presents under our tree today. We decided to just enjoy each other’s presence. It is indeed a very Merry Christmas!
A interesting first game of Ticket to Ride tonight with Ann and daughter Laura. Will play again. 👍🚂
Since the snow to this point has been somewhat disappointing I’ve decided to post a picture of our yard taken after a snowstorm last April. Yep, last April.
Off in a bit to see Ann Reed and Joan Griffith at Crossings in Zumbrota.
Got a bit of time to start tinkering more with @blot and found that I couldn’t log in. Anyone else having issues?
blot.im is just too damn easy.
I’ve been busy. That’s why.
New server hardware day!
I’ve taken a short break. Now I’m back. Just in time for the end of the world.
I think that having FEMA be able to alert cell phones in a true national emergency is a good thing. If DT uses it to campaign I will eat crow. I don’t expect that even though I’m ready to impeach the bastard.
