Payphone Calls Paid for by the Mile

Life Is the Poem That Is Writing Us To Death

I posted this image to Facebook last night, then deleted it. I’ve never been uncomfortable...

Dream. My Latest Radio.

It’s called “Dream”. I’m OK with it, for the last few very long days I put into this.

I’ve heard music coming from interactions between an air filter and a box fan. The sound plagues me when I try to sleep without aid of booze. Sometimes it sounds like dixieland jazz, other times it’s Steve Reich. I have not captured the music from those two devices but I seem to have unwittingly snagged […]

Not Today

In my enthusiasm for getting more material out of the kiosks I forgot that it is just too damn cold to be outside doing this. I gave up for the day after successfully accessing Protonmail but failing to get Wix to work. Wix has too much Javascript, I guess, for the lowly kiosk browser to […]

“Impressive” Revisited

I did not realize I actually published a post last week titled “Impressive”. I thought I had saved it as a draft for later follow up. That posting contains the content of an email I received from someone who had inquired about a specific issue of The Etude, the music magazine which had taken up a […]

Joe Frank Died

Going to Vote

In this audio I said voter turnout was better than expected. It must have just been the moment. Only 12% turnout today, about the lowest ever. Voting is always fun for me. I can be a little sanctimonious about American’s obligation to vote, but really it is a privilege. Going to sleep.

Scurvy Grass

This audio reminds me that I’ve intended to catalog the words my sister and I made up, as well as the funny words my dad came up with. I think of this often but never set it down in type. Dad’s words were an annoyance to a high school friend who wanted to be a […]
