Took two weekends off from SPR to get my writing together, organized, & that has happened . . . better shape . . . Cenacle 123 is nearly done, very close . . . & decided that Many Musics needs a Table of Contents, for easier navigation . . . that, & added all the poems up to current Twelfth Series . . . so caught up, and easier to read back & forth in . . .

Cenacle 123 is done & done & done . . . so done that my full attention is on Cenacle 124, here in early March, when its publication date will be end of April to coincide, as it does year, with my birthday . . . ideas a-plenty but also allowing a full shape of it to remain un-concluded . . . only five issues in the last two years, when eight would be the usual . . . that's on me, circumstances be damned . . . I let time get away from me, in one way & another . . . more than anything else, to get back on the usual quarterly schedule, to get the Sampler series finally caught up . . . to do Burning Man Books again no matter when I finally return to the desert festival, when the pandemic ending allows . . . . to finally finish the RaiBook of my brother JBIII, him now over a dozen years gone to the Stars . . . to do SPRadio better . . . to write more & more . . . the world is in a terrible place right now, by its own doing . . . & humans are to blame for it all . . . the Pandemic killing & crippling millions still & the powers that be, & the sheeple who don't want to be fucking bothered . . . the environment heating up & cooling down wrongly . . . the genocide Israel is waging to everyone's notice, unstopped . . . & the evil chance that lunatic could get back to the White House . . . these are all solvable dilemmas & crises, nobody can tell me othewise . . . we caused them, we can cure them, every last fucking one of them . . . can we be bothered? are we brave enough? Seems most want to concern with their little lives & cute doggy videos on YouTube . . . I used to believe humans could do anything wonderful they wished . . . now I see a race degrading itself & its world & it seems not to give two fucks, or even one . . . so, yah, I am paying attention, not dropping out in disgust . . . I have a job to go to five days a week . . . a wife who cares that I stay on the beam best I can . . . & many loved ones at a distance to whom I owe the best of myself when as often I can summon it . . . building the next Cenacle for April 2024, its 29th anniversary issue . . . roots in all of this . . . I need to do better . . . the world needs to do better . . .

Been awhile since I did some site work on the RaiBooks series. Been a few too many years since the most recent one, but what I did to get the dust wiped off for now is make it so the first two volumes in the series have both online reading versions (courtesy of Publitas) & PDFs to download. More work on this to come!
