The movie Sundown (2021) is psychologically fascinating. Tim Roth’s performance is really something.

If you try to describe the stuff that’s going on in the United States these days it sounds like it could be a plot from a wacky satirical Terry Southern novel. Hard to believe sometimes that this is real.

A good music practice day. You know how some days you’re really connecting with the music and other days you’re kindof off and feeling awkward? Today was a good day.

“Dancing is larger than one’s physical body.—Judith Jamison. I think about this quote a lot because I think it has implications that go beyond dancing. Perhaps everything that one does is larger than one’s physical body.

My wife and I hosted the anniversary party of the Syracuse James Joyce Society last evening and it was a wonderful time, occasionally very moving as we reminisced about past members who are no longer with us.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's adolescent energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

I finally read The Good Soldier by Ford Maddox Ford but found it disappointing. Ford had great writing technique but this book is just an extended inquiry into the psychology of marital infidelity and has no plot. I thought it was tiresome.

I’m wondering what is going on with Worcester Review. Have they stopped publishing?

First day back home in snowy Cazenovia after our travels to NW Florida and to Milwaukee. Feeling too tired to do much today except go to my poetry-group meeting later on this evening.

We’re staying at a B&B in Ft Walton Beach. The traffic in this town is crazy. Glad I don’t live here.

So today I did a lot of music practice and I worked on some art and I also fixed my wife’s favorite clock that was not working. That’s enough for one day.

I just finished reading The Night Guest by @hildur.bsky.social. It’s a great story, very ingeniously imagined. Deeply mysterious and eerie.

I visited my writer-friend Jim today and started out talking about all our respective medical issues, then moved on to a discussion of all the various emotional traumas that each of us has been through. Finally we got around to talking about books.
