Day 4636: Relax

A great way to relax on my vacation is to spend time with people I love, like my long-time friend Barbara. As a matter of fact, four thousand and eighty-four days ago (but who’s counting?) I wrote a blog post titled “It’s Time to Relax” which was about spending a day with Barbara.

Barbara knows that one way I relax is to take pictures I can use in this blog, so she brought me to a great store just for that reason.

.

Barbara and I did our best yesterday to relax and accept the crazy in this country and the world (including our reliance on non-intuitive and crazy-making technology).

Please relax while I share my other images for today.

.

Today, I’m going to try to relax while I lay down tracks for my song “Artificial Intelligence” and then return to the furniture store where we bought our new sofa to try to resolve this problem:

.

Does this song of mine help you relax?

Thanks to all who help me relax during these non-relaxing times, including YOU!

Day 4569: Embrace your journey

Yesterday, my journey included traveling to Newton, Massachusetts to sing protest songs at a demonstration, after which I bought shoes with the slogan “Embrace Your Journey.”

.

While I was still smarting from a critical (but cleverly worded) comment about my appearance at a rally the week before …

.

… I still managed to embrace the journey. And people at the Newton protest embraced me and my songs — they asked me to come back next week and also attend a demonstration in Needham. And one woman, who embraced me with a hug, asked if I did house concerts!

So maybe I’m not mercifully free of the ravages of talent. In any case, I’ll embrace the journey.

Please embrace your journey through the rest of my images for today.

.

Here’s what I find when I search for “embrace your journey” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who help me embrace my journey, including YOU.

Day 4252: Now

Now I am writing this blog post from our hotel in West Edmonton, as my son Aaron and I prepare to spend the day at the Edmonton Fringe Festival and then board a train at midnight for a scenic trip to Vancouver.

Now I am telling my mind — which likes to anticipate and solve all possible problems — that everything will work out.

Now I am going to try to upload my photos and publish this blog post, despite the wonky internet connection here.

Now that the Daily Bitch has had her day, here’s what I find when I search for “now” on YouTube:

Now it’s time to express my gratitude for all who are here, now, including YOU!
