Stairway to adventure!
We got one little hike in on Saturday before the nor’easter arrived on Sunday and clouds emptied their water buckets.

Viggo got to wear his “I am not a pheasant!” shirt.

In the midst of a nor’easter, sunsets are somewhat, shall we say… attenuated.

So here’s several days old photo of an offshore supply ship heading south through Narragansett Bay. She’s delivering a big chunk of wind turbine to the Revolution Wind project. At sunset.

the last flowers
of autumn fading
grandiose and dusty
aiming to surprise the dirt

I am but a humble music teacher who your husband/wife is losing sleep over whether or not they should email me and schedule private instruction sessions in a variety of topics including but not limited to music composition, studio improvisation, audio engineering, album pipeline preparation, etc.

Ohhh yissss! 👍

Some of them here are truly glorious.

The stranger in "Wayfaring" unmasked

The 12 foot skeleton has become so ubiquitous that I’m really appreciating the neighbors’ 12 foot inflatable plague doctor.

I feel that whenever I go back to NH. Very little about my little town has changed except the people. It’s like a Twilight Zone episode where everything is the same as always but all the residents have been replaced.
Oh, and more places take credit cards.

Heads are very heavy so it’s important to have good support while relentlessly staring at humans while they’re eating.

I saw a lot of dumb shit posing as innovation in my career as a software engineer. Vibe coding to get a 5X increase in productivity out of fewer people, including allowing unskilled people to create production code, is the dumbest fucking shit I’ve ever seen. Hoo boy!

Happy #Invertober Day 10!

Common earthworm (lumbricus terrestris)

Went for a different style as I wasn't sure how to make an earthworm aesthetically pleasing 😅

Funny I didn’t realize that you were doing this blog. That’s not on you, I just wasn’t paying attention 🤣
Anyway, I don’t find it complicated or onerous at all. So one of today’s views is me and I will be submitting. And thank you for doing this! Anything that helps build our community is awesome!

Let me know what you think! 😊

I was on a Ronald Malfi kick last year. His collection ‘Ghostwritten’ was really creepy.

Yeesh 🥶, still bottoming out in the 40s here but we’re keeping an eye on the zinnias too 😊

Sounds delightfully spoo-keh.

Since you’re burning through them, are you accepting book recs?

That post storm kind of sunset tonight

So it’s not just me…

Artists are clear on what we want: fair pay from streaming, no investment in war technology, protections against AI, an end to pro-rata deals, and transparency for artists across all aspects of streaming. Daniel Ek stepping down fulfills zero of those demands.

I wrote a book review! One of my favorite non-fiction reads of the last couple years is ‘The Work of Art’ by Adam Moss. Taking a peak into the creative lives of 43 artists working today was inspiring, illuminating, and weirdly reassuring. Have a look!

This is a great way to spend a day as a composer. I don’t do it often enough but I do head out when I’m between projects. A lot of those sounds end up on the next project in one form or another.
