Is it that PHPhuckery, or just Mercury joining Venus in reggaeton? Just got a notice from my domain host, expiring "passwords for some email and FTP/SFTP users" because they're "investigating an incident affecting File Manager and Webmail"
Down from off the wall
I am told the cat was behaving badly overnight. She had very little to say in her defense, and did not deign to spend the day near me. I can’t blame her, as I kept hauling guitars down from off the wall and playing along to song titles sent by a pal ahead of invitation to vocal and instrumental accompaniment at a farmers market next Saturday.
It’s entirely likely I will lose my nerve and simply go to watch my friend and former bandmate sing and play her heart out. It’s also possible that I might sing karaoke for several hours at two different places the night before. Maybe the world won’t hold together, maybe it will. If the cat can misbehave, why shouldn’t I?
Henry Hoke, “Open Throat”
This 2023 novel is quick, and not just on its feet. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything that made me look at the natural world around me as differently.
Ballot time
I hung onto my ballot until this afternoon, far too late to mail it in. When I realized I could drop it off at a county dropbox outside city hall, I drove over. And when a would-be voter pulled up beside me and asked, I loaned her a pen to fill hers out.
Hello, again
If I knew what I was doing, I’m not sure I’d give it a go again. Perhaps I’ll get the hang, instead of just lingering in the disquiet. Maybe I won’t. Still though, no reason not to try.
