June and July were difficult times for Captain Cat. But, after a radical procedure he is doing quite well. This was the last photograph of him in his collar, helping me sort my ghost tips the other night:

Here’s him in the crow’s nest earlier that day:

Clearly his spice is returning.

And us last night:

After an unexpected early adventure with Captain Cat, I returned to Cambridge for a house call. This client is one of a handful that go back over a decade. Moreover, he is one of the most excellent people I have the honour to know. He will definitely have a chapter in my autobiography (Pickled Zen) in the section dedicated to the remarkable people in my life …

Then, I was off to Allston village to obtain an additional bit of costume for Harlan Hayvrast. This was followed by a phantastic feast at Punjab palace:

Then I met Brother Jerome for some air conditioned car times in his parking lot. I had (for inexplicable reasons) two bladders of Mai Tai from OLG to beat the heat. Chico Hamilton’s “South Pacific” was the perfect lounge music. We also sampled the exquisite and excellent Jane Walker scotch:

A powerful conversation and GT indeed.

More Chico Hamilton, a drop of Tori and a splash of some new Fripp completed the score of excellence:

Later, an ablution with Other Derek, just moments before the storm. Some post storm colour:

Then it was back to the OLG:

Now off to the big city of dreams, as part of a post-lock down series. From week one:

Now remember:

Remember yourself always and in everything.

Choose optimism: it gives you the most options.

… and live well Now Today.
