I’d like to offer a general apology to all Harukis living in Japan for the last 22 years. I took “your” Gmail address over two decades ago and it has never been available to you.

Thanks to you and your presumable friends for all the cat pictures over the years, though.

Sufjan Stevens has another 9 months to release another primarily acoustic album of heartfelt paeans to life, love, loss, and/or America if he wants to meet his apparent “once a decade” schedule of appealing to me, specifically.

In other news, “Carrie & Lowell” is ten years old.

I have a HAM radio.
