well, for the first ride of the new year 17 of us met at the usual spot. the cheese cart, for example, is no longer rolling around the dining room. tastes great over brown rice (not included in calorie count). perhaps the real fascination i find in listening to recorded spectrum, as i did above, is that each time i go back through a recording, listening carefully, i find so many other items that i would have otherwise missed. he’s a pretty scary guy to have on your tail. i knew where i wanted to go and what i wanted to do.
