Best concert ever– well, I am inclined to hyperbole– let’s just say the best set of popular music I have ever seen in NM. It could NOT have been any better, and I have seen & heard both (long) before; Ian first in 1967! Tom on stage spoke of one collaboration: “Ian wrote this when …

Returning to regular operation?
Slowly anyway. Learning everything from new Dragonspeak to IPad to keep work and communication going, still busy and rather too “Parky”. Rissy’s pregnancy failed. The car broke down while we were driving Jack and Eli to the airport! You all know the public horrors, but… Good Things are happening– work, art, music (yes we were …
Quote re Politics
“But wouldn’t it be Simpler if the Government Simply dissolved the People And elected another?” (Bertolt Brecht –A Marxist, but one wise enough to live out of reach of the more dangerous governments) They sure do carry on…
My relatives are OK
Federico wondered if my relatives were OK. As I have three sisters who regularly run the Marathon it was a serious question. The twins did not go up from Pittsburgh this year, and Anita St John was at mile 20 when the bombs went off at the finish line. However, my sister Wendy, a head …

At the moment he has thousands of books, thirteen …
Riss
As some of you know, Larissa is pregnant by Tavi at Shiri’s.
Accipiters
Everywhere, doing their courting flights even in town. My reading indicates Coopers at least are becoming urbanized; the Eurasian gos nests in city parks in Russia. This is the first in my thirty some years here that they have ventured so close to humans this deep into their breeding cycle. The poor pic is of …
Passenger Pigeons # 1
Trying something new here. I have either three or four new possible books on deck, though how I will find energy to do them all is a… challenge. One is natural history and ornithology, one a novel, long set -aside, and I am not sure I want to say more about either it or the …
What is this man DOING?
And how long is he likely to be doing it? From the cover of a new issue of a venerable outdoor mag that employs several friends, a “re- creation” of a 1912 cover. Well, sorta, kinda… But: how many times has this man been on a horse? How long do you think the horse’s ears …
The “Damn Chicken Song”
.. and one I first heard in I think 1967 in Cambridge. Tom Russell and Ian Tyson in Santa Fe April 17! “All the years are… gambled and lost, like summer wages.”
