Radio page is updated, back to my show, now a long run of weekends throughout the summer . . . Cenacle 116 debuted last weekend at JG meeting & now is in slow final editing process . . . hoping to get it done, electronic & print & archives, by end of July . . . but I need to write alongside of this too . . . I lose myself, my best self, when I stray from it . . . so run writing, press-work, radio, side by side . . .
Got called about a job at Moderna, web author position . . . interview was unimpressive, but the money better than anything I have made . . . is it just about money, though? Has it ever been? I'd say, as much as I can, no . . . still, I did it because I am on a current contract till December . . . nothing further at this moment . . . come the fall, I have to start job hunting anew . . . I'd like to stay where I am, keep doing what I am doing . . . no knowing at this moment about this . . . today to write, that's what matters most of all . . .

Radio page is updated, & Cenacle 116 final edit work goes on still . . . nothing futher about that job, somehow not surprising . . . just doing my best with the good job I have, the promises that it may keep in time . . .
On a totally different note, one of my SPRadio DJs, Paul Finch of DJ Frogs' In the Window, died in the past week . . . I knew he had been sick, in hospital, but hoped he'd make it . . . him being in England, not much else I could do but email . . . then his daughter's email came telling me of his passing . . . we were not close emotionally, or knowing much of each other's lives, but he was a good DJ & he loved music & show was one of few from 2011 to be around still . . . I hope he died painlessly, as he wished . . . if you're free of pain now, my old friend, & carrying on in your chosen way among the Stars, so much the better for all . . .

Radio page is updated, & Cenacle 117 is rolling along in prep . . . all the primary contributions are in hand, feedbacks pending . . . I've been really devoting to this issue, writing for it, working with my friends/Artists/contributors to hit the many marks along the way . . . it's getting my prime attention, & this is a good feeling . . . a devotional feeling . . .
Didn't go last year because pandemic, but this year drove a full-up Sydnee Grand Prix SE up to Mt. Desert Island, to our hut Bungalow Bee, for hiking, biking, Woods & Sea, so much fun . . . many foolish maskless crowds . . . one masks to protect one's self & others . . . how hard is that to understand? Anyway, it was a dandy time nonetheless . . .
Continuing to work on Within's Within archives project, & JBIII Raibook, & Scriptor Press Sampler 20, & toward Burning Man Books 2022 . . . Labyrinthine, Many Musics, Bags End News, Dream Raps, Travelers Tales, next Jellicle Literary Guild meeting end of October . . . & my radio show went on promptly today! 11 am! Woot!

2021 was a kind of hard dry butt-fuck of a year . . . a survive-now-&-hope-to-thrive-later kind of year . . . 2022 I intend to work harder than ever for my Art, & do what I can to encourage others in all directions . . .
