It’s my favorite time of year, when Apple releases a new version of macOS, and all the audio software companies act like they had no idea it was coming.

Even worse is when they tell Mac users to turn off automatic Software Updates, as if that would *upgrade* their OS. 🤦🏻‍♂️

After mom’s passing over a week ago, I’ve been fine. I wondered if there was a ton of bricks waiting for me somewhere, but there wasn’t. Instead, every time I thought about it, I smiled or even laughed.

I realized it was gratitude.

“There are more of us, but they are better organized“ is a terrible way to run a country.

I’m a little frustrated that *everyone* is touring, most are coming through Houston, but I can’t possibly go to every show I would want to in such a compressed time period even if COVID variants were all gone.

I was starting to use Twitter a bit in earnest again, managing it with lists and being selective about who I followed. It wasn’t perfect, but I was mostly only seeing what I wanted to and avoiding the B. S. most people complain about. But I’d rather ise micro.blog.

I’m so tired of people talking about “these uncertain times.” Times have never been certain. You might have thought they were more certain, but there was always a chance of things changing dramatically, worldwide or just for you.

I hope this is just the boost that makes micro.blog the place it should be.

My favorite musicians make me want to play their instrument.

Now I’m twitchy about posting on Twitter after someone said I was “flexing.” Though the Vernon Reid incident was pretty scarring. I hate quote tweets.

Wow. Almost out of nowhere, the upper arm where I got the booster on Monday is extremely painful. That muscle doesn’t want to do anything and the hand Is a little numb
