Spotted yesterday at the local thrift store- someone has a sense of humor $5 ‘book of Dicks’.
Today’s thrift store find - sealed tape from 1969 - Luis Gasca - The little giant. A great Afro Cuban jazz workout out with A-list players Hancock, Henderson, Laws, Purdie etc..
2012 the one time I tried to sketch on my iPad - inspired by seeing a David Hockney exhibit - RIP
At the #Raleigh train show this weekend and this club ‘the sipping and switching society’ Virginia Chapter had an amazing layout and the best name in my reckoning - kudos to them and thank you for telling my 15 old and I all about it

The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz is usually a pretty cheap box set of vinyl you see in record stores .. a great history of Jazz.. side 7 and 8 are well worth the money alone.. if you see one pick it up you will thank me !

Tree lighting tonight in Raleigh- Gov. Josh Stein’s comment about ‘in the darkness be the light’- really resonated with me.
Anyone looked at the @fda.gov website recently? - it is like a glorified advert with a banner add touting what they have done. I think most of this is misinformation or as the fascists would say "fake news".
Pleased to share our new funding announcement for our work on an Ebola preclinical project. collaborations.com/news/collabo...
These are such good cookies they should actually sell them in stores.. @hiltonhotels.bsky.social
A week ago I wrote to my senator Thom Tillis - protesting our country attacking Iran and failing to protect science in this country- Friday I had the following in my email.. focused on his support for the bombing. Today he announced he is not running in 2026 .. no connection I am sure ..
Quite appropriate music and record title for the current global moment. A jazz album called Nuclear War celebrating the music of the brilliant Sun Ra
