What I feel in the Now

May 13, Howard Buford Recreation Area, near north parking lot.

Last night I finally finished the only library book I still had checked out: Bill Moody’s Sound of the Trumpet (1997). With that one, I’ve re-read all three of the Moodys I’d encountered and enjoyed over twenty years ago. Both Mrs. R and I read them, sparking our interest in Wardell Gray and Clifford Brown, and multiple CD purchases featuring those musicians. Looking at Moody’s bibliography, I discovered this morning that he continued to write Evan Horne mysteries well into the 2000s, so I have several more to read!

I might be nearing a hiatus point for a couple obsessions. Yesterday I kept score of the 44th straight San Francisco Giants game this season. Also, I’ve broadcasted multi-hour transmissions of Radio Free Random 12 of the last 13 days—and nearly daily going back to the middle of March. That’s a lot of daily hours sunk into baseball and radio DJing! I’m starting to miss other hobbies, like producing music/sound art and doing street photography, as well as playing with my typewriters. I can’t predict where my randomness will go. I can only report what I feel in the Now. And Now it feels like a shift may be coming.
