I’m a couple days late, but this past Monday, the 16th was the day of my patron saint, Saint Brendan the navigator.

Aside from being a somewhat scary looking guy, Brandan was an old sea dog, and probably a prolific storyteller.

– Yesterday, and especially last night was bizarre and productive. I spent more time and energy reviewing Star Wars than I ever expected to, but I really felt I was onto something, and also did some work for the wedding and grad school, and straightened my room.

What a compelling, challenging, and quixotically problematic film! I’ve observed to several friends since I saw I Revenge of the Sith at midnight Central Standard Time last night that the most striking feature of the movie, above its many successes and failures, is an increible bravery.

– Yesterday. Whew. I’m too tired to go into it in detail. I got off work at about 5:00, got home by 6:00, worked on my website for about an hour and drove down to Hyde Park at 7:30.

Our house on Gold Ave. had finally, sold, or the sale was nearing completion at this time. During the last several months there, the walls were all painted a creamy white (over the rich golds and greens I loved and remembered) and the distinctive Roseville vases were taken off of the shelves and out of the cupboards.

– Yesterday, I was all but useless. Well, not really, if you define useless as things that “needed to be done, anyway,” but certainly useless in the “visible progress on necessary projects” front.

If you aren’t from Flint, or are not involved in union politics or the UAW, then you may not have heard of this guy. He was a driving force in the reform wing of the UAW (known as the New Directions Movement) for the last twenty years, once president of Flint’s powerful and militant Local 599 (to which my father belongs), and an emphatic voice in local politics.

– Yesterday was a stereotypical Big City day. I got into work late, at 8 AM, stayed until 7 PM, walked about 2 miles through the Loop to the South Loop Club, where I grabbed an incredible Polish for dinner, then stepped next door to the Hot House for an evening of Japanese inflected Jazz and Blues.

I meant to start this awhile ago, but this is a turning point… Scavhunt’s over and Pentacost’s past. The Next Big Thing, as far as I can tell, is the wedding. And what better place to start than with the first album by my true loves and heroes of the past.
