—From EF— I just finished reading Neil Gaiman’s American Gods. I’d tried before, a couple of years ago, and just couldn’t get traction even though I adore Gaiman. But this time I’d seen a brief YouTube interview, him talking about the genesis of the book coming from a...

—From EF— We went to an afternoon gathering in Sebastopol that was a Peacetown event, the first “1st-Sunday Love Fest” event imagined by the Mr. Music Foundation as what I hope will be a long-running series. Food, drink, camaraderie, and music. When we dropped in, the...

—From EF— “Across the Great Divide” is a wonderful Sunday radio show on KPFA that we usually catch when we’re on our ritual trek to the ocean. It’s full of heart and good tunes, and today it caught me upside the head with a perspective shift. I love it when that...

—From EF— There are those who see things so clearly that they become visible to everyone. It beggars belief that Joan of Arc could mobilize the French and defeat the English, but she did. A teen-age peasant girl with cropped hair and limitless faith, leading men twice...

—From EF— We did our final performance in Phoenix, took the set down and packed everything into the car, then had a day off. Laundry and grocery shopping beckoned. I got a recommendation that boded well for doing both things at the same location, and it was amazing....

—From EF— Damn, this is a big country. We dribbled down from Sebastopol to Topanga Canyon (near Santa Monica), thence to San Diego, and are at the moment in Tucson headed for Phoenix. We were running ahead of the big rainstorm and suffered only a few minor splats as...
