I haven't said this publicly yet, so it is time... this is such a great space. Thank you, of course, to @th3j35t3r for creating and sharing this experience, and for all of the most-excellent decisions that have made CoSo what it is today... but also thanks to you, kind reader, for being who you are. My interactions have been overwhelmingly positive, and I've found many interesting and intelligent new friends.

Positivity and intelligence seem in short supply these days, but here there is wealth.

Your golden hair is black
Your jeans are tight,
but your hide is slack
Try it on the company,
but you don't fool me

Bix notes:

I love an engrossing long novel, but a good short story is a compact thing of beauty.

Today's free audiobook:
In The Penal Colony - Franz Kafka
Luck - Mark Twain
The Mortal Immortal - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
and more stories

Here's some 60's Michigan Garage Punk from my cousin's band, The Beethoven Four (originally known as DJ and the Minors):

Good morning, CoSo. Slow day today, I think. Need to do some promotion and I think I'm gonna start flogging book 4 of The Martiniere Legacy as the intro to the Martiniere Multiverse. It did kick off the Multiverse books, so....

Hard to believe that it was almost 4 years ago that I took the entire day off (rare!) to watch the "Prog from Home" concert (COVID lockdown). The day was full of a lot of great talent, but this guy. Man. He blew me away. Is this the most perfect voice for prog? And this is a very raw recording.
