Found a JCPenney MCS 3543 cassette deck at Goodwill in Everett on Thursday afternoon. I couldn’t find a spot to plug it in and test it, but it was clean and appeared to be in good condition, and it was only about $15 (red tags were 30% off that day). The best part? REAL VU METERS with needles! By that time—the early 1980s—most new decks came with peak-reading LED meters. Anyway, I got around to trying it out, which put me in a 1984 frame of mind…
Dear Saturday…
Dear Saturday,
Woke up early-ish again. If I can make it through the next hour without falling asleep again, I should get through the rest of the day without napping.
Love,

So all those people who were saying summer had come early? I told you so.

Bookstore Poem #614. Until you obliterate the ground or the shadow, there can be no rest
Partly inspired by the shadows produced by the lighting at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park and trying to photograph a single page of a book without being able to remove it…
Dear Monday…
Dear Monday,
Rain. Yup, that’s Monday all right.
Love,
