Here Am I, Your Special Island: Transmission 301, 2016 September 14

I don't know if I was anyone's maple pecan on this night, but I was in good spirits. Having resolved to speak more words, I powered through unexpected frogs in the throat and impromptu references to people such as "Dennis Provell." I insisted multiple times, without actually knowing, that Y Records was "out of Bristol"--this turned out to be true!--and that people "didn't like" The Birth of the Y (I have no idea about this other than what I've concluded from seeing this record, ready to be had for the price of a cheap cocktail, just about everywhere). How I wound up with this record in my collection, not thoroughly enjoying it myself for many years, until just now, I really couldn't tell you. But there it is. You're welcome.

This morning I sat with Catharsis Junior as she finished a homework assignment. She was mired in self-criticism and paralysis. I told her that she should just write fearlessly. It seems to have worked. So there is your free bit of wisdom for the day. Now, to learn how to follow my own advice.
