My good son Aaron told me yesterday that he is learning the language Toki Pona, which means “language of good.”
.
In Toki Pona, “pona” means good and I hope you see pona in my images for today.
.
Here’s a good video about the good language my good son is learning.

Yesterday, when I was spending a fabulous day with my fabulous, life-long friend Barbara, I saw this:
.
Barbara and I agree that we are both still fabulous after all the fabulous and not-so-fabulous things we have survived together.
What is the most fabulous image in today’s post?

Barbara and I both thought The Wicked Pickers, who were playing at Arlington Open Studios yesterday, were fabulous.

Putting it Together is a great Stephen Sondheim song about being an artist.
.
Here is Barbra Streisand performing Putting It Together.
.
I love the way Putting it Together puts together the creative process with business realities for artists.
I’ve been working on my original song Artificial Intelligence and I’m almost done putting it together. I’ve been putting together two harmonizing vocal tracks, a ukulele track, and two tracks of my making different percussive noises — none of them artificial. After putting it together, I asked my honest and musically critical husband to listen to it and he liked it!
As I am putting it together, I have some hot spots in my vocals that I cannot fix with ChatGPT guiding me through GarageBand. That is preventing me from putting it together to finish this blog post and to start my day.
I will now focus on putting it together here.
.
Thanks to all who help me putting it together every day, including YOU!
Welcome back to this blog as I experience my welcome back to my home town.

Welcome back to my usual array of (mostly unexplained) images as I navigate my way through each day.

Welcome back to my constant attempts to get my music out there into the world. Today, I may attend a protest in Cambridge (if I can find it) and welcome people to my song “You Don’t Scare Me.”
.
Welcome back to my constant gratitude for you!
What do you do when you’re feeling down?
I spend time with creatures I love, listen to music, watch funny movies, eat yummy food, and collect images like these.
.
Today I’m feeling down because I have a cold (maybe because it’s Unlucky Day) and because I’m not looking forward to 2025.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “when you’re feeling down.”
