Post-heart attack.
E-bike rider.
Not a people person but does not have the skill set to be a mountain hermit.
Easily bribed with good whiskey, hard bop jazz records, or just coffee if that is all you can offer.

I do not have much bluegrass (-ish?) in my collection. I am pretty sure this, along with a Vassar Clements record, is about it.

I gave my stereo and television the day off and kept my apartment as silent as possible for most of the day. I did not even utter a syllable.
I am going to have to see just how long I can keep a vow of silence sometime. I think my last attempt lasted five days.

Over the Rhine is one of those acts that I thought I would end up chasing everything they record onto vinyl, but their latest release leans into religion too much for my interest.
I have also had a frustrating time trying to get "The Trumpet Child" on...

Finishing off my RSD Black Friday pickups, but I am kind of cheating here. This is not the one I was given last week, but a copy I already had.
The unopened addition to my collection is probably going to be given away once the weather gets warm again...

A Slice Of The Top (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) [180g LP]
Hank Mobley was inspired by Birth of the Cool on his 1966 album, A Slice of the Top, featuring Duke Pearson's arrangements for an octet that added euphonium and tuba to a group with James Spaulding (alto sax), Lee Morgan (trumpet), McCoy Tyner (piano), Bob Cranshaw (bass) and Billy Higgins (drums). This Blue Note Tone Poet Series stereo edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.

I had to break out the circular file to enlarge the spindle hole while I brewed some coffee, so I have already done more work than I planned to do today.
I had considered buying the last couple of Jazz Dispensary releases, so I decided to go for it.

I completely drained the battery on my e-bike today but I have taken longer rides before. The cold might have had something to do about that but it did not reach 30 degrees Fahrenheit today as far as I know.
I suppose I should look into a neoprene wrap of some sort.

Stereo Jack's in Somerville is one of the top places in the Boston area to look for jazz albums.
I think I would have to give it an edge over Music Research Library for the top spot.

'I kind of feel betrayed': Green card interviews end in handcuffs for military spouses
As ICE continues to arrest people in San Diego during their green card interviews, the final step in a legal pathway, some of the people taken into custody have been spouses of military members and veterans, including one who said he felt “betrayed” after serving for decades in the U.S. Marine Corps.

The good news is that I found all of the RSD releases I am interested in.
The bad news is that I bought them all, including two used CDs, when I really cannot afford to.
