A good 45 minute dance mix by Jahsonic. Today I added weights and did a back and arm workout as I danced. It was a keeper. Fun to swing those barbells around to the music.

A collage I made with the girls. Probably this picture will outlast it.


Ditto this poster for our first kith and Kin reading from 3 years ago, designed by KC Trommer.

Morning Dance at Candlewood lake. Past a few joggers and it occurs to me that everybody is listening to music, but very few people are moving to the music. I can hardly help but move to the music. Is it fear that keeps people from moving to the music when they run? Because I can't believe that they are not feeling the music. Jumped in the lake afterward. Stand there and look at my reflection in the rippling gem of the water. Then dive in, fully alive. I open my eyes underwater and see opaque green. painted bridge painting set out for trash trolling! nice shape mail fish ?? good find

Went up Roosevelt to see if the Banksy I saw 3 years ago was still there. (See essay at end of this post.) Discovered on Spotify that the Hamilton Mixtape came out and listened to that. Listening to the "Immigrants (get the job done)" song from Hamilton, while dancing up Roosevelt and dodging in and out of immigrants of all stripes. Which all felt pretty good given the political climate these days.     good name for a twee band    a million things to see on Roosevelt Avenue     beautiful composition, natural.

And here's the essay I wrote and finished this morning about seeing the Banksy here 3 years ago. The Queens Banksy Chase On the morning of Oct 15th, 2013 my wife Genevieve sent me a text, letting me know that Banksy was in the m...

Today I went to Mt. Zion Cemetery. I noticed on the map it was tucked back behind the cemetery I usually go to, Calvary. And I wanted to go to a Jewish Queens cemetery anyway because I told my friend Jacques Delaguerre that I would look for his grandfather's gravestone, which is apparently somewhere in Queens. An impossible task, but one which I was happy to begin. First of all, it was not easy to get into this cemetery. It is closed off from Calvary and you have to take a side street and enter in between the Sanitation dept. and a police station. The cemetery itself is overrun with weeds and flowers. The gravestones are very close together, almost haphazardly laid out. And mostly of a darker hue than the gravestones at Calvary. It is very different from neatly kept and organized Calvary cemetery. I couldn't help think about the chequered history of the Jews while I was here, especially those still alive during WWII. Cats were running around. And in one section I saw an aband...
