300. <p>A quick memory: back around a decade ago (a decade is 10 years) I was in charge of music at a church. That is called being “a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worship_pastor">worship pastor</a>.” I was not very comfortable with that title, for reasons I can get into another time. I went through a trend of having the musicians play with a supplemental backing of pre-recorded music during church. The intent was to fill out our rather small lineup and provide a “bigger sound.” Feels like Spinal Tap just typing it out. Well, I myself would create these “backing tracks” on my computer at home—playing extra guitar parts, programming in extra drums, adding transition effects, adding the occasional frizzy keyboard arp part. I would usually wake up between 4 and 5 AM to put the finishing touches on the “backing track.” I put the team through a lot to make this work — and from where I now stand, it feels misguided and selfish.</p>

I didn’t need the buttery garlic topping that much.</p>

577. <p>There was a flash storm last night around 1 AM. I saw lightning creep through the opened upper portion of our hexagonal honeycomb blackout blinds. Heard thunder. Then this morning when I walked up to the corner there was a trash bin that had perhaps floated down the river of the street gutter and wound up overturned in my street. I moved it, but I have no clue whose it is and I'm wondering if it will still be where I left it when I return to the corner this afternoon.</p>

611. <p>According to Thurston Moore, SY were all into reading Harry Crews novels. Whose name until recently I would’ve spelled “Cruz” because I just had no clue. But MJ Lenderman also has mentioned being influenced by his writing - which is odd and notable to me - because Lenderman is indebted to Sonic Youth in obvious ways.</p>

1571. <p>Fare beaters might also feel emboldened, experts say, because heavy traffic and a lack of bus lanes means that bus service can be slow and unreliable. For some riders, it is simply not worth the price of admission. The pandemic also reinforced the perception that fares were optional, after the authority made bus rides free for a few months in 2020.</p>

1652. <p>On Emily Dickinson: I learned this week that in 2016 an edition of her poems was published which, for the first time, took into account her own prioritization and arrangement of her po-ems. At some point Emily assembled some small batches into booklets, perhaps showing which of her poems she held most dear.</p>
1653. <p>I find it baffling that I had never known this. I have never heard that she did any arranging or other work toward publishing her work. I always assumed that later editors sorted through all the scraps, tried to pin down dates, and published everything all together in the books which exist (Final Harvest, that other newer one), not making any attempt to delineate between a fragment and a complete work. </p>
1654. <p>How can it have taken more than a century for anyone to try and put the Dickinson canon into a form that might bear Emily's stamp of approval?</p>

2162. <p>Saw Inside Out 2. Enjoyed it and it was worth seeing. Not as thoroughly captivating as the first. BUT - the portrayal of Anxiety was spot on, I thought. The color orange seemed exactly the correct color. And the voice (Maya Hawke) evoked a touch of sympathy but also an edginess - it was always teetering on the verge of losing control - yet continued to stay the course and believe in her good intentions. Powerful.</p>

2406. <p>Lawson is feeling a bit under the weather today. He was up last night for several hours - hoping he will snooze a bit this morning. I think he might have a fever.</p>
2407. <p>In other news: the churches here were full of sympathy for Israel after Oct 7 - which was good and right. And we prayed for them to recover - and inadvertently also prayed for the success of a murderous military mission - which is now dehumanizing millions of innocent normal people. And where is the church now - where is the sympathy.</p>

2655. <p>I've spent so long pinning all my hopes on evenings of free time. It's difficult to break free from that. I need to minimize my expectations for what I can do in an evening. All the potential for self actualization does not rest in a single evening. And when you just need downtime, that's what you should be doing. Let your soul be your pilot. And your weariness is real
2656. But I also need to get a job.</p>

2871. <p>This morning I am up <em>slightly</em> early. But only slightly. Just barely beat LW, who comes in to our bed almost every night. The only nights he doesn’t come are his terrible bedtime nights. He is afraid of the dark. His bed is small. Who knows what it may be day to day, but it throws off my morning routine when he’s there. I would like to awaken and immediately do my Epley Maneuver to work on my continued “sea legs.” Then apply the salycilic acid to my beloved plantar warts. Then come to the front room, which is my preferred room in the house. (Side note: in <a href="https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393240252">Hollis’s Biography of a Poem</a> I learned that Eliot always composed his poems on a typewriter. I haven’t yet finished this book, but I’m soon going to check it out again from our library.) Then proceed to the front room. In our house I prefer the front room by the windows that look toward the street. It has 2 Ikea chairs with the lower to the ground seats, which I find more comfortable. It's also closer to the coffee.</p>
2872. <p>But the front room usually isn't where I sit: I sit in the living room. This is where the dog likes to sit when I let him out. This is where the kids show up and want the TV on for a bit. This is the crossroads of the family in the morning; I need to monitor it to keep things moving. People need to be on time. But is it where I prefer to sit? No.</p>
2873. <p>This is just one little example. Over and over through the course of years, I am motivated each day by how to please the people around me; how to give them what they want. And throughout, make myself feel a bit less human under each subsuming of my will. </p>
2874. <p>My inner dialogue right now: “None of this rises above a trifle. You are a whiny little thing, aren’t you. People, especially grown-ups, do this all the time. In fact, this is the essence of adulthood: sacrificing your own will and desires for the good of your family, or of society, or of the project. So suck it up.”</p>
2875. <p>I don’t have a good response to that right now. But something has to change. Somehow I need to reclaim a prior self.</p>

3555. <p>There was time I contacted a Japanese musician who I heard on Bandcamp after scrolling around endlessly in the trough of ambient music. His music is guitar based, which attracted me. I sent him an email via his contact page, letting him know that I was enjoying his style and songs. He responded soon after, thankful, and requesting that I send him my own music sometime. </p>
3556. <p>I have yet to fulfill that request. Our exchange ended there. I still think about whether I will ever get around to sending him anything. The bare truth: there is nothing to send, and nothing to say. Furthermore, the ambient guitarist in Japan never thinks of our exchange, and his life will proceed on its course whether or not I ever send anything his way. </p>
3557. <p>In other news, my high school class of Y2K had its first ever "reunion" recently. I was not in attendance, but about 7% of me wishes I had been. I am tentatively making plans to be there for a more formal event in 2025. 25 years is about right. But I don't need any further years to see that I remain about 18 or 20 y/o while most have grown into full fledged adults. I know this in my Heart and Soul. Do I need it further reinforced?</p>
3558. <p>Today Trump again pleaded Not Guilty. Noted for posterity.</p>
3559. <p>I recently set up my ancient 2010 Mac Pro again, hoping to be able to bump it up to Big Sur with OpenCore Legacy. But I threw away my stock GPU. Which is making things more difficult to get the install done.</p>

3755. <p>Trying to get back into it. Or out of it all. </p>
3756. <p>Watching THE SMILE closing down the opening night of Pitchfork Festival. Thom Yorke is wearing a chain wallet. Remember chain wallets? I had one. The boys asked what it was, earlier when ALVVAYS were on, and I said It's a music festival in Chicago. They both said "I miss Chicago. Can we go back there now?" I prophesied for years that I would move to Chicago. But that's never going to happen.</p>
3757. <p>Everyone is in the middle of summer physical checkups. Dentist was today. A cavity was filled and another on the way. </p>
3758. <p>I am typing this on my iPad Pro. Do occasionally wish I'd gone with the newer Macbook Pro 14 - but we all need something to which to aspire.</p>

4454. <p>Saw The Smile tonight.
4455. Their groove is undeniable. The Melodie's are alright. The percussive guitars and the drums that can rise up and take over. The basement vibes of a jam noise band are cute. Hall of famers breaking back into the stage after a season away.
4456. I can see why they came to the U.S.</p>

4494. <p>I felt so bad for the kids this afternoon. They scooted home from school, then launched into playing in the leaves out front. Fox got out the walkie talkies. The frisbees were brought into play, and a game of school was suggested by SM. I would be the teacher. Both she and Fox were new students, Fox and Lawson both chose the name Sparkle. I taught them a lesson on how to hold and throw a frisbee, then it was time for recess. Everyone was throwing their frisbees in the side yard. After that SM decided to start turning a few cartwheels (aside: why is this a thing that so many girls do?) And in an instant the entire trajectory of the day changed, as Fox stepped back to the edge of the driveway to line up his next frisbee toss, and SM simultaneously spun a cartwheel, and kicked him in the side of the head on his ear. And then the blame started. I angrily told her "You watch out." She told Fox that he needed to stay out of the way. Everyone was to blame, but the result was that Fox mounted one of his patented really long and whiny cry sessions inside, and SM wound up in her room pouting and refusing to apologize. It was a tough moment, and the day wasn't the same after. Although the kids across the street plus Nora wound up coming over and we were able to get all of our leaves picked up. Which was VERY nice. But still, it is deflating and defeating and makes me sad when a good playtime gets derailed. And then I blame anything else bad that happens that day on the one little turn. The universe changed that moment.</p>

4996. <p>Its been awhile since I’ve tended to my digital garden. Need to get back on that old horse.</p>
4997. <p>Travel day yesterday. Made decent time in the end. Oklahoma was almost entirely rain, much very heavy. Considered stopping under a bridge. Trying to break through here and get at what's on my mind. There is a wall in my stomach and in my brain that prevents me from acting and moving in a direction. We split the driving evenly. I'm also excited for the Taptic typing feedback in iOS 16. Also I'm excited for iCloud shared family photos. Who will share mine?</p>
4998. <p>Finished Drive My Car the other night. Great ones movie. The trajectory of the last third was inevitable yet surprising in its particularity. </p>
4999. <p>We had to bring Sherman along. His usual caretaker refused this time because he terrorized her cats last time. Then again she could have moved the litter box.</p>

5273. <p>Watching Star Trek this evening, because that's what the weekend needs to finish itself off. I had some issues getting my site to run its usual script to create this post - and now I've forgotten entirely what I was going to want to write about. Will have to settle for a quick synopsis of the day. I cleaned the filter grates and changed all the filters. 2 of them are a fancier new allergy reducing kind, but I had the wrong size for the 3rd and M got a cheap-o home depot one. Which is just fine. Really it is.</p>
5274. <p>It has been war week in the world. Russia is invading Ukraine, and our gas prices are up fifty cents. How shallow that that is how I experience the event. That and the GOP trying to blame the president for it all. I sometimes think it would be better in life to go for broke on something like a battle - bettter to burn out than fade away. My friends Eric and Aaron took trips to Ukraine for church missions; wondering if they know anyone who's caught up in the conflict.</p>
5275. <p>Our family has many many many irons in the fire. We are investigating a move to several towns over - so that we can be closer to schools for the fall. All just in time so M can find a new job and not benefit from the shorter drive. But although the housing market is great for sellers, it's crazy competitive for buyers and I'm worried that we're going to get frozen out and wind up homeless.</p>
5276. <p>My God when did my writing become so sterile. Like a drafty furnace.</p>

5292. <p>I'm sure a part of the reason I dug into Station Eleven so hard was because it took place in Chicago. I had a long held dream, even through high school, to live in Chicago. We took annual trips there growing up.

5310. <p>I've been preoccupied with a section of twitter that is focused on gender, specifically issues of masculinity, and gender roles. I can't stop looking at it and I don't know why. I want to say that the men inhabiting these spaces are attention seeking and wrong in what they're doing, and that the way they're proclaiming some partial truths about Jesus and Christianity are harming the church.</p>
5311. <p>But I don't know how to articulate this. My brain can't coalesce around a central idea to pick at. I need to find a way to slow it down and pick it apart to tease something out. It all seems to go along with a right wing political attitude that brings with it all of the weirdness you'd expect. And it's also very agrarian and rural and backward looking. It feels like a retreat to more a more black and white era.</p>

5396. <p>Why am I doing this? When the dog's whining is more weighty on my mind. And the cleanliness of the backyard ahead of the snow is more Paramount+. And my friend's dad was removed from life support today. Which wasn't what one had hoped for the day. Discussing pandemic deaths and flower deliveries and whether a friend's brother and she would opt to induce.</p>
5397. <p>Is it alright to purchase music anymore? Side note. </p>
5398. <p>Is the Jim Beam cinnamon liqueur as good as the iowa distillery Prairie Fire? Are the casino playing cards as good as the cheap ones from the other casino down the back highway? Where you saw BB King back in the day.</p>
5399. <p>And you peer into the case which held chocolates. Only to discover that it now holds only writing utensils. Mostly pens. But we did buy an entire shipping container of them just to be sure. Or maybe because that was the only quantity that prime shipping would allow. </p>
5400. <p>FX got the master sword today. Along with my help. It's like a spoiler watching him do all this stuff again. And it makes me aggrivated. Need to go greet my wife now, so goodbye. </p>

5537. <p>First daily wrap of 2022. Lots has happened. LW broke his leg and just had his cast removed this past Tuesday. In the meantime we had Christmas &amp; New Year's and visit days and an eternity of time off and a new raging covid fire. Back when the pandemic started I was writing these cute tweets about the little disruptions to life lived entirely at home - and people got a chuckle from them, maybe. Now we are so long gone from that state of mind. I can't believe how much time has passed.</p>
5538. <p>M to a wrestling meet tonight. One of her students was pinned. Dinner here this week has been abject terror and failure upon failure. Nobody wants to eat anything excepting pizza and penne pasta. </p>
5539. <p>The Mill was demolished today back in Iowa City. I played many of my first gigs there in town. Saw many memorable shows. I should write about those soon: DBT during the snowstorm in Feb 2002, Jay Farrar, Titus Andronicus, NYE w Dave Zollo, David Bazan, too many to mention or remember. Open Mic nights with Jay Knight, where Blame Not the Bard made an early name for itself.</p>
5540. <p>Thank you to all those who owned and operated The Mill, even when it was barely afloat.</p>

5886. <p>Regular day at home. Excellent weather - not a cloud - but I'll once again mention being tired of having no seasons in TX. Girls home early - quick dinner and then SM and I were off to Z's orchestra concert. It was longer than past concert - first one under a new director, who seemed more formal that the last guy. More tuning before songs. More shifting people on and off the stage. The high school director is also the band director and the music history teacher - pulling a big time duty there. Z seemed quite proud, and the group sounded good. Makes me feel nostalgiac for high school orchestra. In my head, my orchestra was really really good. The repertoire we tackled seemed more advanced than anything I've since seen in a high school group. We were small, but mighty and with several very talented players who went on to bigger things. </p>
5887. <p>We are sorting out Christmas travel plans, and I am sorting out our closet of all extra cruft in my spare time. I am considering picking up BOTW again - FX got over the hump of the first plateau area and he's off to the races in the game now and is big into it - hard to pull away - frustrating to watch for me.</p>

5955. <p>Reading Karl Ove this evening and live tweeting to this document. Listening to IPR Classical. Which keeps me connected to my home state, IOWA. Where the nitrates run freely in the well water drunk by the rurals. </p>
5956. <p>FX and SM just played smashingly well together today. So much fun all through the day. Played kitty school and other assorted games. She was a blind dog, she was a horse in a field. Played also with the neighbor across the street.</p>
5957. <p>You feel weird here when you say you aren't in the Christmas spirit before Thanksgiving. Nobody should be in the Christmas spirit before Thanksgiving. By the way, what is the Christmas spirit? Is it wondering whether you purchased the right gift for that special someone?</p>
5958. <p><strong>Reading:</strong> Knausgaard Book 6. The way Karl Ove navigates his marriage relationship is ... disconcerting. And his bank card pin is now 2536, which is a slight step up from what it was before, 0000. "I could write about the emotions of economics, instead of the mathematics of economics." - You can feel the tide turning against Linda here: "Her romantic dreams were about ordinary life." Sick burn - but yet it resonates.</p>

6025. <p>Last night I watched an episode of Star Trek Voyager - the main plot was that the crew found a planet where an alien species had stashed some humans that they abducted from Earth in 1937, INCLUDING, Amelia Earhart. Some abductees had escaped and in the 400 intervening years formed a new human civilization.
6026. Incredible story.

6044. <p>It's kid vaccination season. Which reminds me that I need to get FX's 4 y/o shots underway. Speaking of FX, he told me the other day that his magic dog had died - not exactly sure what to make of that ... But apparently there was another one that took its place - which is a physical object, the dog that SM used to call "easter puppy." The previous magic dog was entirely imaginary.</p>
6045. <p>In other news ... well, not much. Big week. Suzuki week. Thanksgiving Feasts at school week. Community transmission of COVID down to "Substantial" for now - one of the few times we've been ahead of the rest of the country.</p>
6046. <p><strong>Thinking:</strong> How can the body of Christ not seem to have a care for the health of its members during a pandemic? Oh yeah - there's still a pandemic going on. Although you wouldn't know it most places.</p>

6079. <p>Went to a Fort Worth Civic Orchestra concert tonight. SM's first ever concert. Maybe EZ's also? I think he might've went to a thing with the FWSO at Bass Hall. Pictures at an Exhibition was the feature - the conductor wore cowboy boots and dropped his baton during the first number. Final piece was wonderful. Pictures at an Exhibition. Kids were thrilled with the performance. I had to put pants on LW when we got home. </p>
6080. <p>Good last day of her absence. Cinnamon rolls and park. Z left early for a birthday party. We went to Parr Park to bide tile until picking her airport pickup. LW had a major pee accident and I had to abandon every plan for dinner and getting home - didn’t have any extra clothes at hand. Terrible terrible mistake on my part. We made it through the weekend alone, but my level of irritation finally maxed out during the ride home and the unplanned Chutes and Ladders ambush and the rushing toward dinner and the questions over the messages sent and not sent and unreceived and received.</p>

6113. <p>In my head I make fun of the shows and videos my kids like. But in 20 years, this will be what their generation is nostalgic for and it will be culturally enshrined to feel as such. It doesn't matter if I get it or approve or care. </p>
6114. <p>M is out of town this weekend. Which is sweet for her - to be able to spend her birthday with sisters is awesome - I'm happy she got to make the trip. </p>
6115. <p>On another, more somber note: I see everything my kids touch as a memorial to them. Scattered toys on the floor. A messy craft table with half open books and unfinished drawings. It's like everything I see is the last thing I'll see - or the last thing they'll do. </p>
6116. <p>This is dark, yes? But true, in a way. We don't know the hour or moment or minute. And you won't have fixed that volume pedal.</p>

6150. <p>Halloween. Kids dressed as a Wolfpack-wolf head hats, grey shirts and pants. Went went around the neighborhood. Lots of people out and about. An obscene amount of candy as usual. I sifted through it this evening in a first attempt to weed out the worthless stuff - but I found very little to toss. It's like everyone handing out candy went whole hog this year. Got several full sized bars - mostly chocolate based candies - very little of the filler junkier candies. Don't tell my kids, but I immediately throw out half of what they get. </p>
6151. <p>M's brother came to visit today. Felt special that he was able to come, since he's got limited availability. The kids were thrilled to get to play with him out back. </p>
6152. <p>Haircuts on the agenda tomorrow. Picture days Wednesday.</p>

6187. <p>Did a Ryan’s World exercise video this morning. 10 minutes of aerobics. Fox had been showing off how strong he is by lifting up the red chair. I expertly parlayed that into a group activity. This is my pro level stay at home parent skill at work. The things nobody ever sees, but which I hope will one day amount to a better person. </p>
6188. <p>Wolfpack costumes are ready to go for tomorrow. Thankfully it’s supposed to be somewhat cooler - in the 70s. Because the furry wolf hats are hot. The weather here stinks. There are a few things to like about the south, but overall the southern United States gets a thumbs down. </p>
6189. <p><strong>Watching:</strong> Sopranos S3E2. The one where Livia dies. The scene toward the end with the remembrances is so classic. Had me rolling with laughter. A fitting end to a day with too much time spent considering the reality of death.</p>

6205. <p>FX has been going a mile a minute in the afternoons this week. Not a moment to spare for downtime. Today I cleaned the corner of our bedroom - packed up a bunch of extra computer stuff. If it's possible to "open up" a corner of a room, that's what I accomplished. </p>
6206. <p>Tomorrow I'm going to do my small part to preserve the theater industry and go see DUNE. In XD at the Cinemark. I truly like the Cinemark experience - comfortable chairs, spacious buildings, good sound and picture. The movies. </p>
6207. <p><strong>Thinking:</strong> Colin Powell died last week. Was it really last week? I think so. Is it a coincidence that the top ranking black US gov't official <em>ever</em> (at the time) was the one who was hung out to dry in front of the world, proffering known false information to defend the indefensible?</p>

6241. <p>I haven't wanted to write much here this week. Have been watching TV in the evenings.</p>
6242. <p>Soccer practice this evening for FX. We picked up SM from school and went to McDonald's. The McD in Hurst has consistently had the freshest and hotest fries of any McD to which I've been. Every week without fail they are hot. The dining room has been open the last 2 weeks and we have been the only ones eating in. LW treats the place like his personal living room - taking him places drives me bonkers - in my head, it's a result of not going anywhere public for so long. </p>
6243. <p>This week has been a week of sorting through this and that. I talked with my Uncle Dennis on Sunday and helped him look through grandpa's computer. I contacted the local Civic Orchestra to see what level their musicians are typically. I heard back from the concertmaster that they have players of all levels - and that I should brush up on scaled and come to a rehearsal in January.</p>
6244. <p>I am also considering completely giving up drinking alcohol. I've spent too much fuzzy headed time through the last years, and the last pandemic year in particular. It was an era of life, and now I can sense that it is past. Save it as a yearly occasion, or something. I was always the teetotaling kid through high school and college - and better off for it, even though it was occasionally awkward.</p>
6245. <p><strong>Thinking:</strong> Getting back to my roots of being straight-edged. Joining an orchestra again for the first time since 2004.</p>
6246. <p><strong>Listening:</strong> Shostakovich string quartets (Emerson String Qt). REM "New Adventures in Hi Fi."</p>

6300. <p>Is this all I’m ever going to post anymore? On this, the world’s only blog? My grandpa died this morning, so that’s the entire day in a nut. He was 97. Yet, you still think and consider what those last moments were like - being found by his nurses. The end was near, and what were his thoughts? </p>
6301. <p>Hopefully his thoughts were of the full life he lived, and of those he left behind better off than before. Whatever I am, he has played a big part in that. Someday soon I should write about the different ways he shaped me - through observation, not instruction. His concern and kindness. His eternal curiosity and interest. More to come on that. Maybe a topic for the rest of this week.</p>

6317. <p>I have felt fraglile most of today. We went to Target for everyone to get flu shots. I despise taking any of the kids to stores. Do not deal with it well, and it winds up creating stress for me and for everyone else. We had some miscommunication on what else we needed to get while there - I should have used the time that I had to put LW in a cart and go around to get the new coffee maker (ours crapped out this weekend) and the milk. But did I use that time well? No. So then in the heat of the moment of needing to get out the door I decided to dash around unannounced to do those things. It didn't work out well. </p>
6318. <p>I've been dealing with a burn on my left palm and forearm for a week. Hot oil splashed onto it when I was cooking fish. It's feeling better today. Yet I know the impermanence of my body. It is ridiculous and over the top, but being surrounded by so much death and fear thereof during the pandemic has me realizing how much I don't want to die. And how I don't think I will be able to gracefully handle the decline of older age. I am worried that something is creeping up on me and it's going to tear me down at a younger age - and I'm not dealing with that very well in my head and heart right now. </p>
6319. <p>Don't tell anyone that I said that - and DEFINITELY don't try to talk about it with me!! Get off my lawn. BAH!!</p>
6320. <p>In the midst of everything my love and appreciation for my wife is ebbing to a new high point. Thankful for all she does for me and our family.</p>
6321. <p>Need to get that laundry put away this week. It's a 4 day week, which always fly by. </p>
6322. <p><strong>Thinking:</strong> Should I finally find a general practitioner here and make an appointment? Was the Fiona Apple record from last year overrated? Should we switch up some other things in life???</p>

6338. <p>Month and day are the same number ... maybe that explains the difficulty of the entire afternoon. It first began when I discussed, in public, getting ice cream. A huge mistake. Andy's Frozen Custard. Wonderful one's ice cream. SM and I got it last weekend after a promise that went awry. And, I'll admit, I wanted some more. Unfortunately the promise of the sweetness set off earthquake tremors in our house. People were screeching for ice cream. And those people were(nt) me. </p>
6339. <p>After all, we did go get the sweetness, and it was sweet. And there were so many birds trying to get into the garbage dumpster near to the Andy's. And that was f_ gross. And next time we go to get the ice cream we will go to the NRH store close to the soccer fields - which gave us bigger scoops and whose front stoop was less cluttered with napkins glued to the ground by old sweetness. LW was running around trying to pick up all the trash. One lady told him not to pick up that napkin, because we didn't know how long it had been there. Which was nice. </p>
6340. <p>People were owly and asleep early. Including me. I shaved.</p>

6356. <p>Dinner and hang out at a friend’s this evening. Met their father, who is originally from Hungary. Very interesting to talk with - engaging, knowledgeable. The way he ordered his adult daughter around was mildly humorous. Iowa Hawkeyes beat Penn St today. As a long time Iowa fan, we’ve been at this juncture more than a few times. Maybe this will be the year they take it all the way and don’t get embarrassed by some run and gun happy go lucky southern fair weather team.</p>

6373. <p>Movie night tonight with the kids. They're sleeping over out in the livingroom on the air mattress. M has to make an extra trip to the complex to pick up a jersey for a kid. She's quite the saint. Big soccer energy this Saturday. And a 3 day weekend upcoming. Organized the freezer today. Threw out some things. Put them in a trash bag and dumped them in a local church dumpster so they wouldn't be taking up space in our own can. Also threw away 3 bags of kid stuff today. Hope my daughter isn't reading this someday.</p>

6424. <p>Fell off the horse for a few days. In so many more ways than this silly one. Dealing with harfing and barfing and whooping little children - things coming out of every which end. And athletics and changing the keys of the songs relatively last minute - which isn’t that big of a deal - you roll and you deal - but maybe I’ve always pretended it’s a big deal. </p>
6425. <p>SM and I worked on her being able to tune her violin tonight. Showed her how to use my tuner app on my iPhone. She has met all of her Suzuki goals for the entire year. Went to the library. Got Andy’s custard-amazing. Brewster is returning to Animal Crossing, which lit up my eyes a bit, and even those of my jaded teenager.</p>
6426. <p><strong>Thinking:</strong> Why am I so averse to making changes of any kind? Even changes of mind. Changing one’s mind is something <em>other people</em> do - not something <strong>I</strong> do. I get a physical revulsion feeling when I consider making changes. It’s like this: I made a choice to do any given thing a certain way - or made a commitment to a certain organization or activity or person, or whatever - it could be anything at all - big or small. And now that I’ve made that choice, I must clutch to it with my entire person - because that’s who I am, somehow. It IS essentially my identity - the person who is committed and loyal.</p>
6427. <p>Now, I know that last paragraph sounded dramatic, but don’t go reading much into it. Just some self exploration and excavation is all.</p>

6477. <p>Hotter today. Sticky out. Library story time - considering not going next week - the boys are all over the room and don't pay much attention - which is a bummer. Some rain during the afternoon and early evening. Fortunately FX's soccer practice wasn't affected. Worked on booster stuff during part of the evening. Planning a quick grocery trip and to cook a kitchen thing. Considering a car line pickup, but not sure about it. Checked the mail.</p>

6495. <p>Tried to dabble in a tiny bit of indieweb stuff this evening - and it was as much of a waste of time as it usually has been in the past. Still, I am going to try and look at it again tomorrow - the siren's call of the indieweb movement is too great to resist for too long.</p>

6532. <p>Played guitar with the church worship band this morning. 2nd time being back since my finger surgery May 2020. Happy to be with the team, but have always felt like a big of an outsider - not witty or pretty enough, somehow - an interloper. The warp and the woof of it all - looking forward to Thanksgiving ham balls and extra sauce.</p>
6533. <p>Exhausted this evening. M is cooking eggs in the instant pot. I shaved and listened to THE TRUTH. It was discovered this evening that E hasn't been receiving notifications for messages on his iPad. His school had to reinstall a device profile they use to lock things down while in school. You understand why they see fit to do that - I also see fit to do it - but it causes a non-zero amount of mild chaos and upheaval and rearraging of things. It's a buzzing fly.</p>
6534. <p><strong>Thinking:</strong> It is naively vain and egotistical to tell a person that they "Belong" in a certain place or group. Nobody except God can tell a person where they belong in this world.</p>

6586. <p>Pre-K day for the boys. Costco trip. Flu shot. There was an older couple waiting for their shots ahead of me. The person administering the shot seemed to be in a hurry. There was nobody after me, but there were three thousand people in Costco shopping.</p>
6587. <p><strong>Thinking:</strong> The power of the comeback story. Tiger Woods overcoming his life trajectory and rising again to the number one in the world. Michael Jordan returning from retirement to win 3 more titles. Harper Lee rising from her literary grave to write another novel. Jesus walking out of the tomb to talk to the ladies in the garden. These things were not foregone conclusions - but they happened. We can’t forget how difficult it is to make a change and do something different - no matter the degree.</p>

6606. <p>You start writing online every time with the best of intentions. I know I have, every time, these last 20 years. But to this day I can't seem to make it stick. What is it for? Who reads this? Anyone? And if no one, why even bother?!</p>
6607. <p>So it goes and I throw up my hands. </p>
6608. <p>But this evening in the shower I resolved to try something new: a daily, formal, couple paragraph post just wrapping up the day's events. And also, importantly, trying to peer into the future and look ahead and what's next. I might not always do this here on the site - I sometimes feel like handwriting privately to myself.</p>
6609. <p><strong>Happenings:</strong> It was crisp this morning, and I wanted pants, and the fan was too much in the bedroom. The boys and I fixed Fox's bike tire and went riding/walking/strolling. I did the dishes during quiet hours. The songs were finalized for Sunday. Girls were home late d/t soccer practice. I wanted to join the Bedford Lib book club for Oct 7. But it's at 7 PM and that'll be a problem. I considered joining the upcoming growth group at church - starting Oct 6. I showered. </p>
6610. <p><strong>Listening &amp; Reading:</strong> "No One is Talking About This," Patricia Lockwood. Son Volt's old albums.</p>
6611. <p><strong>Ideas:</strong> The COVID pandemic is squarely planted in the top 10 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics#Major_epidemics_and_pandemics_by_death_toll">worst pandemics ever in human history</a>. Not really an idea, but on my mind nonetheless. Shower thought: for Christmas, kids each get: a book, a gift card, some cash, one list item, some food, a family Switch game. We eat Mexican food.</p>

6837. <p>As a former campus minister, I am familiar with the sheer volume of STUFF and FREE items and things and offers that get thrown at college students. Things get lost in the shuffle.</p>
6838. <p>And my alma mater, the University of Iowa, is (hilariously) offering vaccinated students a $10 gift card to shop in downtown Iowa City. Where the only thing that’s $10 is a salad or 3 cups of coffee. Which, honestly, would have been enough for me in the year of our LORD 2000. But maybe not sufficient today.</p>

7066. <p>In mid April last year my dog (Sherman) was doing a few of his expressly forbidden sprints along our neighbor's fence - chasing and keeping pace with the dog there. I work hard - probably too hard - to keep him from doing this. Sherman had been tied up to our swingset so he was wearing his halter for leash attachment. I reached out with my left hand and my ring finger somehow slipped into a metal ring on the halter. With Sherman running full speed, my finger snapped back <em>hard</em> and one of my tendons popped clean off its preferred bone.</p>
7067. <p>I waited a few weeks to go see a doctor - which is classic. The day after the visit I was in surgery. That was May 7, 2020 - just over a year ago today. It was still early on in the Pandemic. It felt like the surgery centers and hand specialists and physical therapists were open just for me. Everyone was still figuring out how to live in the new normal. </p>
7068. <p>My finger keeps improving day to day. It will never again be fully straight, but I have regained much flex and strength, which is more important to me as a guitarist. 2020 overall was a simultaneous blurring of 3 disorienting experiences: the pandemic &amp; my finger injury and rehab &amp; caring for a small child.</p>
7069. <p>Here in mid 2021, it finally feels like I can begin to move forward in life.</p>

7198. <p>To be sure, there is a lot of churn in human social networks even in the best of times. Several studies show we replace as much as half of our social network every five to seven years. Little wonder when research also shows only half of our friendships are mutual. That is, only half of those who we think are our friends feel the same way about us. It just normally takes us a while to figure that out.</p>

7200. <p>The notion that only half of what I consider to be friendships are mutually considered as such rings true to me.</p>

8337. <p>I have loved the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_(podcast)">Criminal podcast</a> from its outset. I appreciate the way host Phoebe Judge allows the voices of her topics to shine. Although a wave of "true crime" podcasts has come to dominate the landscape, Criminal has always stood out because it's scope is so much more broad than any isolated incident. The stories it presents also allow us to get a birds eye view of our criminal justice systems.</p>
8338. <p>In short: go subscribe immediately.</p>

9773. <p>I've just been watching several takes on one of my favorite piano pieces: the presto finale of Beethoven's Sonata Number 14, "Moonlight." Seven of the most gut wrenching and thrilling minutes of music that will ever exist. It moves me to the edge of my seat.</p>
9774. <p>Check these out and see who you like best. It's interesting to see the differences in approach and interpretation of 3 players in starkly different stages of life: a child prodigy, a young player at peak ability, and an old gentleman.</p>
9775. <p>If you watch each of these all the way through, I think you'll discover that classical music is far from set in stone. It is still a lively conversation spanning hundreds of years.</p>

9796. <p>Of course I’m talking about tennis. Lots of memories come up whenever I allow myself to settle into the year’s matches. Haven’t watched a single one this year until tonight - near the end of the first week. Unacceptable. </p>
9797. <p>Back in my undergraduate days at The University of Iowa, the tournament always coincided with the beginning of school. Arriving back at the dorms and my cable TV, which I had not had during the summer at home, meant I could watch the weeknight matches on USA Network, instead of just the weekend highlight showcases on CBS. Those were the waning years of the Sampras/Agassi rivalry. Got to watch their <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/29/sports/tennis/sampras-vs-agassi-2001-an-open-classic-endures.html">classic 2001 quarterfinal</a>. Thank you USA Network for caring. </p>
9798. <p>This year the big Fortnite World Cup was held in Ashe Stadium. This doesn’t seem possible or right — and if I ever wind up seeing a dumb video game match there before I see a tennis match, I won’t ever forgive myself.</p>

10064. <p>People in the future will never believe how fortunate we of this era were — to have seen the Big Three of men's tennis - each, in their own singular styles and achievements, surpass all who came before. I have long been mad at Roger Federer for surpassing Pete Sampras in Grand Slam wins, but after his loss at Wimbledon today I felt empathy toward him for the first time. He is now looking at the real possibility that, as he begins to fade from competition, his rivals Nadal and Djokovic will surpass him in titles. </p>
10065. <p>Now that he's an underdog, I might find myself rooting for Fed as he closes his career. He's not the perfect tennis robot he used to be, and that makes him more attractive to me. He's 37 and a dad.</p>

10104. <p>I finally found a link that my son will enjoy if he ever finds my website (which won't happen, because people don't go to websites anymore). But that notion aside, I have mixed feelings about the phenomenon of speedrunning and glitch finding. It feels a bit seedy - but still, there's also something pure about it - discovering bits of the truest close to the metal essence of the code of a game.</p>

10419. <p>Remember when the new releases lined the outside shelves of your local Blockbuster video. Remember perusing the entire store, searching for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II. You find it - it's a hot new release, and there's an entire section chock full of copies. This is going to be a good movie night. </p>
10420. <p>But as you look closer, you notice that each video case looks shallow - they're all missing their bottom layer - the actual VHS tape <em>behind</em> the case. Oh no - they might be all checked out. Are there really no copies left? <strong>How can this be!</strong> You franctically examine the entire section, checking behind each case. But to no avail. Your hot new release is entirely checked out.</p>
10421. <p>I actually miss this experience a little. You can't replicate it anywhere today except for the library - and there it's not quite the same, since the cases and discs aren't separate. You can't see a taunting placeholder for every library item. There was something special about those empty video store cases and the promise they held.</p>

10506. <p>I recently heard on a podcast brief discussion of a show about a Japanese noodle shop. The mention occurred during a segment about how streaming TV is exposing more people to cultures outside of the one they know natively. Because Netflix is global, and they need to make shows that fit each culture they serve, we in America indirectly benefit. Although a new Korean soap opera might not be at the top of the algorithm's recommendation to us</p>

10677. <p>Here is a partial, and ever evolving, list. Yes, I’m getting older - BUT - I think we can all agree that these phrases are just bad, imprecise, and make the English language worse:</p>
10678. <ul>
10679. <li>Saying “I’m here for” this or that. It’s hard to know what this actually means.</li>
10680. <li>The word “Content” used to refer to <em>any</em> piece of anything at all. There hasn’t ever been a more vanilla or demeaning term for an individual’s prized artistic output given in love to the world. Give me the shudders.</li>
10681. <li>Saying something is “Everything.” No it isn’t - and we all know it - so let’s stop saying it that way. </li>
10682. <li>
10683. <h2>“Yeah, no -” as a weird sort of conjunction to rejoin and respond to a statement, e.g. “Yeah, no - I can’t believe the Super Bowl was so low scoring either.” Perk up your ears for “Yeah, no -” and you’ll start hearing it everywhere.</h2>

10736. <p>It is starting to feel as if my youngest boy will become the TV hound of the family. Even though he’s not yet 2 years old, he seems to receive more enjoyment from TV shows than anyone else in our family. Could be his tiny-ness, yes - I guess time and age will tell.</p>

10835. <p>This just in: one of my most prominent early memories is when I sliced my hand open on a dried corn stalk. Growing up, there was a small cornfield maintained by a church near my house. I would walk by it every day to and from school. At some point after the harvest, one of my friends had the idea to tromp through the field kicking down and stomping on the dried stalks. It was a satisfying thing - to feel the snap and hear the crunch of all the stalks and husks. I felt powerful - for a 1st grader. Then I made a mistake - I took a swipe at one with my hand, and the sharp husk bit into the webbing between my thumb and index fingers. I felt the pain, looked down to see pale flesh and tiny blood vessels. </p>
10836. <p>Then I ran home, and found that my mom had laid out Apple Cinnamon Cheerios for an after school snack. And I felt bad for ruining the perfection of the snack with the trouble of the blood running down my arm.</p>

10921. <p>In recent years my interest in all things space has been kindled. It hasn’t been lit on fire, but my brain has been occasionally tickled. I’ve enjoyed listening to the <a href="https://www.relay.fm/liftoff">Liftoff podcast on Relay FM</a> as a convenient way to keep up on the latest space related news.</p>
10922. <p>I think that my space interest came about for spiritual reasons. I’ve been wondering how my faith in Jesus would be impacted if life were discovered anywhere else in the universe - even if it were just a single celled organism. I’ve had some interesting discussions with friends on these matters.</p>
10923. <p>Today’s landing on Mars of the NASA InSight probe reminded me again that it’s a good time to be following what’s happening in space exploration. The coming 20 years will bring the biggest leaps forward that humankind will have yet made into the black abyss of SPAAAAACE.</p>

10940. <p>Hello new and old friends! From real life and from abroad on the Internet. This is your old friend Adam here to introduce my new home online. My aim here in Tooterville is a gradual return to the legendary Internet of yore - of the early days when I first dialed up to my family’s Interlink LLC account from our Gateway 2000 PC. </p>
10941. <p>From my perch of observation, our online affairs have presently become too messy, sprawling, and complex. We have gained in the areas of connectivity and sheer breadth of content. We have also become equally bereft of privacy, depth, and meaning beyond the moment. I have become aware that the tubes of the Internet have been busy in the background <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=the+internet+is+changing+our+brains&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8">rewiring my brain</a>. Take a moment to reflect and you’ll probably find it’s true for you also.</p>
10942. <p>I aim to counteract that rewiring with this new site. It will move at a slower pace — I will reflect more fully on things that perk my interest — I will occasionally share closely held thoughts and opinions in a form beyond quickly thought out bits of nebulous text — I will maintain a space uniquely to me whose content is not owned by a multi-billion dollar company. I’ll write about culture (books I’m reading, music I’m hearing, museums I’m visiting), post interesting links as often as possible on the home page, and eventually I plan on sharing original audio and music I am creating.</p>
10943. <p>If you’re interested in coming along for this, do something you probably haven’t done in years: create a bookmark for my homepage, then come check it every couple days. If you’re into RSS (and you really should be these days) you can subscribe to my various feeds in the site’s menu bar. There are some nice RSS apps out there, but I’d recommend <a href="http://www.rssowl.org">RSS Owl for Windows</a> and  <a href="http://www.vienna-rss.com">Vienna for Mac</a>, which is a really fun old style Mac app. Also, the new <a href="https://ranchero.com/netnewswire/">NetNewsWire</a> is a great option.</p>
