Yes — yesterday is OVER!

Wow. Intense. Especially that drive home — all those backroads in high winds and mostly unplowed snow! Yay! (And St. Christopher was hanging on in the passenger seat the whole way home.)

I am so glad it’s over.

And here we are, with today. Still snow everywhere, but it’s SUNNY. And I don’t have to be anywhere until Wednesday.

And I slept in this morning!! I did not get out of bed until 5:38AM!!

And I did not do yoga this morning, either.

And I have not yet begun to read the 13 emails of notes from Peitor yet. Even though he is sitting somewhere right now, patiently waiting (drumming his fingers maybe?) for me to call.

I just hung out in bed for a while this morning, drinking coffee laced with rhodiola rosea and lion’s mane. Chewing on a nicotine toothpick. Feeling like this god-awful world might still be worth hanging out in for a few more minutes…

[Me?]

Jesus, I am so tired of so many things. Just sort of waiting for JFK. Jr to put in his long-awaited appearance. That — and the release, finally, of the files on JFK and RFK — will bring a whole lot of this noisy madness to a grinding halt.

Oh, and —

Meanwhile…

Nick Cave sent out a very interesting Red Hand File this morning. (I personally believe that Kanye West is a psyop on the side of the White Hats now. The shit that guy has seen just in LA alone has got to be enough to make you want to shoot yourself — you know, to get the pictures to stop).

Anyway. What Nick had to say was very interesting. Especially this line: “…why it is unacceptable to coerce one’s girlfriend into standing naked on the red carpet at the Grammys.” Coming from a man whose naked wife has graced a certified gold-selling album cover; in homes worldwide since 2013…

Just, well. Just very interesting. I liked what he had to say. And I liked this part:

“To be human is to be flawed, yet it is also to possess the potential to achieve staggering things – beautiful, brilliant, inspiring, wild and audacious things; things to be cherished, despite our complex and compromised natures.”

You can read it in full here.

I think that might be it for now, gang. I really do have to get busy with Peitor.

Enjoy your Monday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

I know you won’t believe this, but this is what I usually wake up singing these days. The cats love it! And so do I.

Enjoy, gang.

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Joyful, joyful, we adore thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flowers before thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive the gloom of doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!

All thy works with joy surround thee,
earth and heaven reflect thy rays;
stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain
call us to rejoice in thee.

Mortals, join the mighty chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God’s own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

Lyrics c – Henry Van Dyke, 1852-1933 (Music, Beethoven)
