So last night, Avi took over WRUW-FM’s long-running jazz program ‘Down By the Cuyahoga’ — hosted by his mentor Jim Szabo — and transformed it into ‘Down by the Monongahela’. Here’s his intro.

So, hi. It’s been a bit.

Meanwhile, I’ve been doing some printable educational zines for various organizations & campaigns.

Here’s one about citizen-led ballot initiatives (or referendums), with some extra info specific to PA & Pittsburgh.

Originally for the Project for Responsive Democracy.

Shout out to Conrad for getting ready in the dark at 5am - even whispering to Petunia as he gave her treats - so I could sleep a little longer before driving back to Pittsburgh.

Shhhh. Don’t tell him I was already awake

Today I PR’d my deadlift by… well, a lot 😂

Welcome to the 300# club! Let’s goooooo.

As you can see by the hilarious plate stacking, not only was this an unplanned, unexpected achievement- I also strategically avoided counting/recounting as I built to a 1RM.

Friends, I am so fucking proud 😊

One of our favorite farms at the market sells ‘peach seconds,’ which is a very amusing way to describe a giant box of mildly bumped & bruised fruit for eight bucks.

All of which is to say, I baked a 🍑🥧and it smells fantastic.

This is a for real for real ad for a plastic surgeon that Avi saw at the airport in Norfolk.

Jeezus.

What the actual fuck?!

Well, I had an 18 year old (!!!) for a few hours 🥳
but now I don’t ✈️ 🏖️

He kindly left me a rotten sore throat & a cough to remember him by 🤧🤒😎

And this v amusing exchange starring a hefty copy of my fav book (and one of the sources for his name), the security line at PIT, and a sleepy TSA agent.

Nora’s nose says well done!

Woooaaaaah. I’m all in on the picture alone. I bet they’re amazing if you freeze them.

Took apart my giant bookcases today. Cleaned & repaired the shelves. And properly reorganized my comics.

(The trades on the left shelf still need to be sorted, but that’s easy since they’re mostly the same size.)

I am very, very, VERY pleased.

It gets better…

The window runs the whole wall, so they’re pretty much there all the time, rain (snow) or shine.

Plus: great couch 😉

Nicky says hello, since Nora got all the attention the other day.

Not much online these days is bringing me as much joy as @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social

This brilliant account is so perfect, so pure. I’m in awe of his incredible memory for & appreciation of art history… and uncanny ability to match that emotional & aesthetic energy to moments in sports 🧡

Avi took this picture of Nora yesterday, calling it ‘The Prettiest Beached Whale’.
