In the spring of 2023, I bought a trailer for $4500 and had it delivered to a horse farm near Temecula, California. I spent 5 months on that property trying to help the owner empty a huge garage so she could create a kitchen/dining area because they had lost their home in a fire. I…

Last weekend in the US: Chicago, Illinois I am in downtown Chicago at the Holiday Inn near Union Station. I got here by bus from Dayton, Ohio yesterday around 5 PM. It’s my last weekend in America. I’ve just left Doob and the dogs, Hans & Tilly. Before that, I saw Marg, Bonnie &Ted in…

Bisbee, Arizona I am packing up this weekend and depart on Monday morning. I will drive to Scottsdale to leave the steel horse I ride and spend the night I will be in Desert Hot Springs for Senior Day. Or, as I like to call it, Hippy Soup. I will be communing and cleaning in…

The Boys in Chandler I am staying in the beautiful home of Ike and Freddie (fictional names for real humans). The motif here is Christmas. Over the next week, I will record bits of it.

Old Town Bisbee Phil, Emma, Prince and I spent Thanksgiving in Bisbee, Arizona. It’s a great little town about 4 miles north of Mexico. I have been here since November 19 and will leave on December 16.

I use the line that Glenn Frey says at the beginning of Hotel California on the Hell Freezes Over tour. It’s a good one. It’s not that life is particularly linear but naming a starting point suggests a clarity and a trajectory may be mildly deceptive. It is okay, though. No harm intended. No fouls…

Friday Bisbee, Arizona I returned from England to Phoenix on November 16th after a five night stay with Carl due to Norse Atlantic cancelling my flight on November 11th. I stayed with Ross and Kate for a few nights in Scottsdale. Then, I came to Bisbee to renew my affair with Cannabis. And, I slept.…

Today, I watched the commercial called, “How Many Licks?”. It’s the one where the little, naked boy with no penis (settle down, it’s a cartoon) asks a cow, a fox, a turtle, and an owl to tell him how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop. I like…
