Time's short this week, too. Paying the price for all that procrastination in past weeks. Anyway here's a few further thoughts on various subjects already discussed, and then a picture, and then off to work. Grind to the nosestone.

Jay likes swing. A lot. And big band, and jazz, and of course the blues. His collection includes two gems of Muddy Waters, plus a few Ruth Brown CDs that stayed in the player for months after he got them. Indeed, the Muddy Waters CDs were replacements for treasured old vinyl that got lost among Jay's many vicissitudes and resulting moves from one tenement to another. He also loves boogie woogie, which he recently re-discovered after years of deprivation, having forgot that he liked it so much. Oh, and ragtime, definitely ragtime. If you're not familiar with it, re-acquaint yourself with its wonders with a search on YouTube. Their boogie woogie selection is particularly rich, with many clips from the Old Days When Television was Good. And monochrome.

But time is way short, so here's a freshly minted picture to tide over. It links to a larger version on RedBubble.com. Jay's been going for walks at the river in the evenings lately, and spotted this scene a few evenings ago. He tried to getit with his pocketable pointy-shooty thingus, but ended up returning the next evening with tripod and wideangle.
