New day. Just cleaned off my desk for a fresh go at...whatever. Was reminded of this John Updike quote: “Each day, we wake slightly altered, and the person we were yesterday is dead.” RIP to yesterday me. What will this fresh thing do today!?

Jaws in the cinema is fantastic. Go see it. (It's probably been 30 years since I've watched it, and that was probably VHS and on a tiny screen). Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like doll's eyes...

Enhance! My mega #music / #Primus essay has just been extra mega-enhanced with this magical pic of #LesClaypool from official “Onward and Upward” tour photog Jordan Kravitz. Really matches the vibe of this wizard section. Read the full piece here: www.jumpinthestream.com/primus/

Where my GenX-ers at? You might enjoy this. I do talk about Primus (eventually - and a lot, trust me!) but big picture, it's about the healing power of music. If all you want is #Primus, just jump to the section called "Wynona was a gateway beaver." www.jumpinthestream.com/primus/

Saw Primus last night at the Quarry Amphitheater. Merch so good, the moths in my wallet begged to be let out and I said: "Fly, moths! Be free!" Poster art by Portland artist, Paul Kreizenbeck

Yesterday I wrote over 3,700 words about The Phoenician Scheme for an audience of exactly 3 people in Noodle's Film Club who saw the film with me. Honestly, the choices I make about what I'll spend time on. Two days prior, I spent 17 hours riding my bicycle for Summer Solstice. On brand.

Use your whole buffalo! I make audio recordings of things I've written. I put them in a podcast, though really, each episode is just like reading a chapter of an audio book. They usually take between 10 and 15 mins to listen to. Here is today's episode. 12 mins www.buzzsprout.com/2194216/epis...

What’s that sound? Aw nothing but the brain drain.

I will take time to appreciate the little pleasures. Today, I will celebrate the humble peperoncini. You bring me joy, lil pickled pepper!

"Nice butt." This was yelled to me from a window while cycling the last couple of miles home yesterday. I don't have a nice butt, so I INSTANTLY knew what was up. My bibs were DUNZO. Fun fact, when cycling bibs die of old age, they become see through and one of the first places to go is the butt...

In case you're wondering the kind of day I'm already having (it's only 9:18am) it's an "Ice cream for breakfast" day.
