Several topics to catch you up on, including:
- Ryoko’s new dump truck! 660cc, 4WD, 350kg payload
- Brother Bob‘s birthday w/ pleasant convo from Diego Garcia (many topics)
- Jack Kerouac birthday festivities with kindness from beat enthusiast pals
- Updates from Gary Snyder, and about VW electric bus (entirely separate topics)
- Wife gave haircuts to me & Ichi! (she can do anything, was basically like trimming trees)
- Small tasks around the house
- SxSW flashbacks (do they even bother doing this anymore without my gang of renegades on site?)
- Topsy-turvyness of life in general (seemingly endless “life administration” tasks”)
- An (trying to be small) “introduction to the beat generation“ video project for youths
But, Mondays are a little busy here around the cottage – rained last night which freshens up the air, spring arriving with bugs and birds, have an opened up the windows let it all into the abode – now with tea and porridge… must tend to grocery orders and grocery delivery, and trash out, and the usual laundry, dishes and compost…
I say this not to be redundant (which clearly is) but this is just me striving to be back to some kind of “baseline” – which is measured by the aforementioned household tasks coupled with bathtime with Ichiro #BestTime
(here’s a snap dedicated to brother Bob Olson featuring a knit watch-cap, (non-military regulation) mustache, his usual sorta-photo-scowl, and a blue shirt he made in Thailand, added with a tie-dye from Mac Kobayashi)
Everything else is bonus. #ImprovingTheCampsite
Carry on intrepid ramblers!
