Writer's Block: High notes

[Error: unknown template qotd]I've spent several periods of my life where I chose to listen to only one genre of music, sometimes for years. (I obsess easily, I guess?)

Anyhoo, looking back it seems like the Jazz Periods always lasted longest, so I'm guessing if I had to pick one then jazz should be it. Howard will be happy...

something I am grateful for today

This mornin was my tri-monthly doctor appt wherein I get my diabetes monitored and my prescriptions refilled.

Apparently, since the beginning of December I have lost one pound. Woot.

P.S.: actually, now that I think about it, if I put on any weight at Christmas then this means I managed to shake it all off since then, so I guess that's not so bad.

Writer's Block: Best book ever!

[Error: unknown template qotd]I've had various “foolproof re-reads” over the course of my life (The Lord of the Rings, Dune, Nova), but for probably the last thirty years my go-to book has been Islandia. There are some small new things in it every time I go back in, but I suspect that a lot of that has more to do with what I bring into the reading as I get older and wiser. There's a lot of wisdom in that book, and some parts of it are easier to see at different points in your life, I'd say.
