Kid A vs OK Computer

 I like OK computer better than Kid A, but Kid A has some good songs on it too.

Pentingell Peak

Skied Pentingell Peak back in 2019 with Mike, way too hard for being such an easy peak.  

In the early days

 In the early days of my life, I had a dream of waking up to a view of snow capped peaks, and walking amongst those peaks, and that dream came true, but I never had a dream about sitting in a basement working, but just because I didn't have that dream doesn't mean that it's not a dream come true.   When benefits one, the perspective to focus on the joy in life, every breath being a blessing.  In a given day now I'll do some day trading, some work, watch a different YouTube video on the one secret to fixing your golf swing, some more work, then a 17 minute live version of Soul Sacrifice from Tanglewood in 1970, then some more work, then end the day with some Robot Chicken.   All those things can be dreams, if you'll let them.

a new language

Not too long ago, a hole opened in the middle of the sky and all the words that have ever been spoken in every language were sucked up into the vacuum and the world was left without language.

After some years had passed, there were two men left alone, in a cave.  Each man had two sticks.  They looked at each other, then at their sticks, and one of the men took the two sticks and smacked them together, making a "fwap"ing sound.  The other man looked back into his eyes and then back down at the sticks in his hand, then back up again.  Slowly, he took the two sticks and "fwap".  After a few minutes, the first took the sticks in his hand, this time, two whacks, "fwap, fwap" and the second took the sticks in his hand and went "fwap, fwap" in return.  The two men looked each other in the eye and knew that they were in this together, and thus, a new language was born.
