While darling wife and rambunctious son are out pounding mochi, on a Sunday i riff about upcoming community Santa appearance and jazz gigs at a vibey alley joint in our minor provincial city, called “Blue Blues” where Ryoko will perform with TKOBB big band.
With all that, i express some gratitude and thanks for friendship and anxiety with my communication conundrums (i answer messages in my head on one of dozens of channels but don’t actually send), plus talking to pal about being a good papa – while Ichiro decorates tree & i drink kohi, reminding myself to remember to listen, waiting for answers and then… attack! But hey i keep on banging on the Uke despite microphone impacts – about how Christmas is anything you want it to be including an assumed buffett party time with kids and friends. Oh right, usual about hospitals, pharmacy, and this time with a ceramic festival.
And hey pals in Canada, your New Year cards will be late but dig the digital version on Jan 1, 2025. Opai!
