I am a human. I believe that there are more dogs than wolves because kindness and cooperation are evolutionary traits that provide the greatest opportunity for species success. Working together multiplies muscle mass and problem solving.
Good morning!

If you follow me here you'll know I did a talk called "How to make the Tarot work 100% of the time".

You might wonder how I could make such an outlandish claim.

Here's how:

On Saturday, September 6th I will be delivering the outlandishly titled talk "How to make the Tarot work 100% of the time". This will be at Horizon Lodge in Seattle.

I've heard a rumor that we're going to record/post the video.

So, watch for that!

Also - be brave and kind. Thanks.

As a Gen Xer, I can confirm this is 100% factual.

Just watched Goonies with Melissa for her first time.

A story about an Astoria family who's children risk their lives in search of treasure to save the family home, defeat land developers and ride bikes without helmets.

This is my generation. Doing dumb shit to fight against greedy assholes.

We shot this on our phones during recording sessions last December. But we've been busy. So you get to see it now. Move songs coming relatively soon. :)

I'm working on a music video. I'm hoping to share it here soon.

So, if you're wanting something to look forward to....

The whole world right now:

"Did that just fucking happen?"

It'll be a minute while we all decide what happens next.

Removing him from office right now would go a long way to preserving what little opportunity we have for long term survival as a species.

Or, you know. We don't.

Mixing music for a new set of songs, sending them to our fellow musicians to evaluate and make suggestions.

The next recordings are coming soon.

Photo I took a few weeks ago in Albuquerque. I try not to post pictures while I am traveling.

The elevation and heat are something else. Nevertheless it was a wonderful visit.

I run D&D for friends and I've become absolutely enamored with The Harpers.

I've fleshed out the organization, used the code, enacted initiations, developed passwords, and above all, I really love the idea of people supporting order while combating tyranny.

The development of AI occuring in the same relative window of time as a cruel, greedy, vulgar, selfish, racist, sexist, ignorant incompetent leader demanding an incomprehensible amount of media attention means that AI might conclude that all humans are absolutely dumb as shit.

So, that tracks.

Ever have an entire lifetime where it feels like you are careening between boredom and feeling completely overwhelmed with no middle ground, or is it just me?
