First program at LAVA since December.   Really  good life narration through song,  rap, storytelling and poetry, ending with a long narrative poem on the state of the world while solving a rubric cube. Right up my alley.


I was a little more present today than I have been, but feeling the enormity of the irrational fundamental  stupidity of the world and its leaders at the moment.  So taken aback at how easy it is for my fellow humans to get side tracked and lead to tiny squabbles that are irrelevant to the big issue.  We are wasting time.  Time that we don't have.  What possible benefit can come out of taking the drivers licenses away from a group of people who've already got enough to wrestle with?  How can it help anyone else to render a community paralyzed from driving? And it is extremely difficult to not get horribly depressed by all of it.  The only thing I can think pf to do to help is  to not pay taxes and give the money to the organizations who are having an impact protecting trans rights and/or starting a community or a safe house.  
The sun was out. Blue sky was reflected in thawing circles of water in the canal and a few gulls had returned.  Lots of dog walking humans and bike riding smaller humans on Migratory  Way.  And I talked to a  couple of friends.  But I ate all wrong for the 3rd day in a row and once again forgot to go to the  pharmacy.

I went to go to tonight's show and got there an hour early, thought I'll just go home.  But instead I went and ate some Tom Kur Coconut Soup and Chicken Satay.  Nice waitress, gentle restaurant and an easy half block back to LAVA.  I'm really glad I did it.


First, his story was compelling, his message was compelling, not just as an immigrant or a black man in this country, but as a human trying to make positive and kind decisions in the world. and

Second, it was a model for my six story narrative of my life I want to create.  It was really a great example of the poignancy of doing this one person show of a journey constructed by short illustrative stories within the bigger life story.

  December 11, 2025 I got to see all three of my siblings this year, what a treat.  Also, I got to see all three spouses, double treat.  I only saw 2 of the next generation and then 4 of the next generation.  I guess we just don't live all that close any more and I have a hard time making it to holidays or doing any traveling at all. It was another day of no photography and no creative writing.  I did get some work done and I did go to LAVA, but my time of loneness was spent organizing the have to's in my life.  I also was in touch with many friends and making sure all were well.  All were well.  So again I offer no insights, I offer no entertainment, nothing really beautiful to look at.  But I am checking in and saying good night.  Here's to happy dreams.   Good night.

December 4, 2025 A Hole In The Sky. I didn't get a nap today, I did get some stuff done.  I went out into the world today and I met the specialist doctor of the day. I feel that each merry go round. representing the three medical issues I am having, is organized and moving forward, which is better than 2 weeks ago when I felt trapped in a maze of the medical world's making.  I'm also going to teach myself the details of the digestive system of our bodies so I can have a better understanding of the information that is thrown at me in these appointments.   photo by Gary Gary went down in the basement, a job usually handled by T., and discovered I have more oil in my tank than I thought.  I was worried about running out during this 2 day cold burst.  But I have a month or so before I need to figure out emergency fuel stuff.  Tomorrow I will fill out all the forms though and be all set for when I need it.  I also have to fill out the forms for my Y me...
