Still seeking restoration of balance following the craziness of the last few weeks (broken heat/hot water, broken Oldze, familial presence and attendant feelings of expectation, etc etc); considering a return to meditation (I quit a 20+-year practice a few months ago and have loved life without it) but have a feeling it's that lack of balance, lack of worktime, that's leading me there: pretty certain that thinking of restarting is less a solution than a symptom. The day awaits.
Klaus Voorman Beatles sheet music designs
While I knew that Voorman did the cover art for my favorite Beatles album, I had no idea about these designs for the sheet music to the same. Beautiful.

because if anyone could get me to like ‘80s music…
… it’s Uzi: new brilliance from my good friend (and TSR theme music composer AND first interview) Uziel Colón.
Newsletter Sunday 0067
This week's MacroParentheticals inbound and I am awake and mostly alive as my left elbow continues its reign of post-shovelling terror (though it pales in comparison to my 95-year-old grandfather's post-icefall broken elbow which, he claims, becasted and with much trepidation about it puncturing the skin, hasn't caused him any pain; my operating theory is that at least 50% of his bloodstream is comprised of poppies or he's like that one Bond villain from THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH that couldn't feel any pain and was a lot better in THE FULL MONTY) but at least all Oldze are liberated and that cloud is lifted until the next snowclouds dump their produce.
Just received a notification that I will, apparently receive my COVID tests in the mail by the 10th. Big delivery week this week: Mac Mini, Invisible Man, Werewolves... oh my.
Macro0067 in +/- 60; the day awaits.
