To every #democrat, #trump hater, #resist believer in this place, read this piece. It’s one of the most cogent, directed, specific articles on how to move forward the next 4 years. I’d wager most republicans wouldn’t argue with the overarching points he makes. www.profgalloway.com/how-to-survi...

Why do intelligent people allow themselves to defend and repeat things told to them by political operatives even after they are shown to be untrue, or at best half truths?

If anyone loves short pieces written about compelling research and sciencey (yes that’s a word around our house) stuff, this independent journalist does a great job of finding interesting topics. Here’s a piece the NYT published: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/s...

While we yell at each other Rep Kay Granger sits in Congress while residing in a memory care center, our current sitting President is deemed unfit to run, but still retains his seat, our former speaker falls and breaks a hip. It’s past time for term limits.

I’m an old guy. Pretty much past my shelf life. Never would’ve believed this statement would be so egregious that it should be blocked. We will not bring change by closing our eyes or ears.

As we pack up this place to move, I see my music life laid out before me. Old vinyl singles morphed into albums morphed into cassettes, morphed into CDs, now my kids stream it all. Mixed emotions. So much money to collect it, but I have it. My kids spend less, but don’t have it.

Are people so lonely that they actually exchange conversations with the random accounts that follow them with “text me baby” on their profiles? We need to relearn how to make connections.

Of all the instruments I’ve messed with over the years, the pedal steel guitar is by far the most difficult to grasp. 90% of the song library is playable on 3 strings. But the brain starts frying quickly when you move outside that box. Much respect for the masters of this

Made a great friend with a French engineer in 1980. As he arrived, a mural in the airport read, “I feel therefore I am”. Descartes‘ “I think therefore I am”, in his view was the definition for progress of humanity. Logic, and scientific knowledge, not or feelings should direct us.

Having some fun sitting in with some incredible young kids on the street in New Orleans. Music brings so much joy to the world, yet it’s rewarded with little income.

I excel at very few things. Procrastination is one I have mastered. The less effort I make at procrastinating, the better I get at it.
