Oh, brother. Also, BuJo, what happened?

1965

Last day of vacation! I went to Caldor again got three records (one for Bob, he’ll pay me back) and a book about guerrilla (?) warfare. The records I got were: The Seekers “I’ll Never Find Another You”, Herman’s Hermits “Mrs. Brown You’ve got a Lovely Daughter” and (Bob’s) Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders “Game of Love”.

O by the way - I saw V yesterday at a track meet. BIG DEAL!!!!! WHO CARES?

LOL

The joy of 49 cent records at Caldor! (They were 45 RPMs, the ones with the big hole in the middle of course.) I also love the so-casual mention of seeing my crush at a track meet. What was I doing at a track meet on the last day of spring break, anyway? It was either my love of sports or the chance to see V in shorts. Hmmm. Tough choice.

Tonight’s topic of discussion at my brother’s house: the relative merits of nostalgic pablum versus intellectually challenging content. Also: Nostalgic Pablum is an excellent band name.

Two posts about my brother. The universe is pinging me.

Comment 2023

More COVID tedium. 2020 was such a year, wasn’t it? I was interested in learning how to edit videos for our church services on YouTube. Talked to the person in charge and decided this was not a thing I could learn right now. Instead, I volunteered to be a chat nanny for the live stream. Because of all the hoards of evil doers wanting to disrupt Unitarian Universalist worship services.

I am still using a Bullet Journal variation. So I can tell you that today I plan to

• Write (done!)

• Make rhubarb trifle (done!)

• Tidy the public spaces for company tonight

• Make Parmesan rice with chicken 

• Knit (done and yet never done, as I am already planning my next project.)

• Contact my brother and try to figure out the cheapest way from Silver Spring, Maryland, to Callander, Ontario. (Stupid Amtrak and Ontario Northland have messed me up.)

2024

Ran out of dots, so stopped using BuJo. Also find the current iteration of BuJo irritating; too commercialized, too precious, no longer about getting things done. Still knitting, though. Still working out how to visit Bob beyond Substack. (Hi Bob!)
