  This waking up at 3:30 am for no good reason & getting up and getting going anyway is going to be the death of me. How to make stop?

  I made a special list in Ivory of just the people I interact with here - mutuals mostly, and all the beige kool kids, so that I could keep up a bit more easily. Reader, I cannot keep up.

  I wasn’t raised by nice people. I wasn’t raised to be nice or pleasant. I have had to figure this out on my own, and I have had to invent “nice” Chris on the fly. It’s an understatement to say this has been slow going. But I’ve been reading a great big thick David Bowie biography and the thing that keeps coming up is how polite and caring and concerned he was for the people around him, and just how pleasant he was to be around, and how it really affected people. I went out to play a gig tonigh...

  Good morning. The whole world may seem like it’s gone to shit if you read the headlines or check your 401k balance, so instead, I suggest cats. This is Eckles enjoying a scritch.

  I had not seen my cousin in 32 years until today, and we talked for 3 hours over lunch. She was a journalist/state editor at the Oregonian and an article she worked on as editor was nominated for a Pulitzer in 2015. I think we kinda look alike!

We stayed in touch though throughout the years and both eventually ended up in Austin. We had children the same age, and were in similar lines of work- she was a designer and editor & I designed and printed things… 7 or 8 years ago she moved to New Mexico and we mostly stayed In touch via text, until I...

  Back before Covid, I had more going on musically. This was an utterly creative outlet. This one is long, but it goes off in unexpected directions and by 12 or 13 minutes in, gets pretty wild. This is more or less what it sounds like inside my head a lot of the time. We’re making it up as we go. https://carbon7.bandcamp.com/track/there-is-no-darkness-there-is-only-an-absence-of-light
