Hello! It’s been 12 years since my last post! I am working on a PhD in musicology. Jess has a TT job (just applied for tenure) at a college in Brunswick, where we have a house. The world is falling apart after a pandemic and the triumph of toxic masculinity. I still play the flute. There still aren’t enough jobs. Whoa.

Good news. The Dangerdyke is recovering. Only a little bug--they are giving her an IV to replenish her fluids. Hopefully, she will be home soon, and perhaps able to perform tonight (though we shall see about the latter).

The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough
to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well
enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over its government.
-Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US President (1882-1945)

While I like Dean, at least Carol isn't engaging in the "who's penis is bigger" charade during each of the Democratic debates.
