Now

This is a now page. It’s what I’d tell a friend I hadn’t seen in a year.

Family

Making field recordings with my eldest daughter for her Yoto. She chooses which sounds to combine to build scenes. Sleep sounds from ordinary walks, but she’s composing them.

Books and Music

Piano lessons again. No exams, just drills and chord inversions. Learning Zelda pieces for the kids helps.

Reading multiple translations of The Idiot and Tehanu from Earthsea. Going slowly on purpose.

BJJ

Getting back into it after a layoff. Always surprises me how quickly it comes back after the first couple of rolls. Not competing, just trying to go regularly.
