Cool.

Liberty was fascinating to walk through. Sure, it’s a fancy department store. But it is gorgeous and well preserved. A balance of modern and functional and old that does not exist on my usual side of the world.

Relay 10 was a great time. Of course TimeKoalaSing (something no one remembers) had to make the schlep. But it was a solid excuse to visit London for the first time.

Only true heat can empty out good neighbor’s outdoor seating.

As if I’m not pissed enough at the NYTimes, they go and attack me like this?

Not yet secured down and fully wired, but this is what I’m thinking for the current State of the Board.

Last new pedal day for a bit. Maybe.

I’m thinking about getting rid of this pedal after… 16 years. But the insides are just so pretty, maybe I’ll hold onto it.

First new pedal day of the week. I was looking for a modulation effect. I was not looking for dirt. But damn, BSRI has amazing dirt pedals.

This is about to be fun.

Sometimes the touristy stuff is pretty cool.

Checking out Ovenbird Bakery after eating their cookies at good neighbor for years.

I definitely did not intend to buy this amp today.

This is looking much better than yesterday. Trying Elixirs again.

This old photo came up and I suddenly thought, “If I crop this and make it black and white I bet it’ll look cool.” Sure enough, I think it does..

After my allergy shots this morning, I took a long walk home…ish. I decided to stop down in the Wyman Park Dell, which was one of Gracie’s favorite spots in the world. I kind of regret not taking her here on her last day.

This disgusting boy is going to get cleaned up tomorrow.

I didn’t feel like pulling out my receiver to double check, but realized I could just scroll through the labeled inputs. Confirmed that’s one thing I don’t have to buy.

Well. Here’s something that unexpectedly hit hard this afternoon.

Gracie is gone. Our love for her was deeper than deep. But she couldn’t live on our love alone, or she would have lived until at least 120.

If all days looked like this.

The last time I took extended “relax” time for myself was almost a year ago in Portland, OR for a weekend. Where should I recharge next?

A special time between light and dark
