Or a failure depending on how you look at it.

I don't post much of my private life anywhere, but if there's anywhere that I feel safe, it's right here. This is my daughter, who was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer earlier this year. No cancer is good, but if you're going to get beat cancer, this is the one to get. Very manageable, especially if caught early like hers was. Chemo took her hair, so I shaved mine off in solidarity. She's been doing really well. The chemo hasn't made her very sick, just a loss of energy the past few treatments. The tumor was small to begin with, and it's already shrink to less than half its original size. One more month of biweekly treatments, then they'll reevaluate and operate if necessary. As you can see, she's taking it very well.

Went and saw former Dexateen and sometimes leader of The Glory Fires Lee Bains perform a solo show last night. Among other things, it served as a refreshing counter-punch to all of the Midterm Election bullshit (and just outright lies) being flung around the country right now.

Thanks to a slightly small Sunday night crowd, I got to chat with him a bit both before and after his set and, dang, what an incredibly kind man. I was introduced to The Dexateens back in 2010ish by a mutual acquaintance that lived in Lee's hometown of Birmingham, AL (some of you all probably know the name BitterOldPunk). Lee not only remembered Jon, but he was quite stoked to learn that I'll be sending a copy of his recently published book of poems up to Jon's new(ish) home in British Columbia.

Great night, great dude. If you've never heard of him, he put out a new solo live album ("Free South 2025") earlier this year, or for more a full-on experience, the Glory Fires "Live at the Nick" is an absolute ripper.

#RIP Juan Atkins, who invented techno. The whole genre.

There was a 30 year run where Detroit was a whirlwind of musical invention, starting in the 60s and peaking with its signature EDM. (There was also the noise scene in the mid-90s but, aside from Wolf Eyes and arguably Andrew WK, it was too underground to be world-changing the way Motown or The Stooges or Detroit Techno was.)

This is me as a raincloud, ready to set out Trick or Treating with my boy and his friends

It didn't achieve the bubbly-goop-eyes I've seen elsewhere, but still tasted good.

Helped clear out the home of a late friend who was an early microcomputer nerd. I knew he had a lot of stuff, but I hadn't realized he'd gone complete hoarder. This broken desktop calculator PCB was salvaged from his former basement workshop, which had got too full to use.

He was a good man, well loved, and generous to all. It's sad to think he was living in a total mess.

Best costume I saw yesterday.

She gave him a cursory sniff and then started tracking a squirrel across the street.

I just won this trophy with a little witch on it, and some money competing with 36 people in an eight ball tournament where we had to use broomsticks instead of cues :)
