… out like the plague

~~~

March 2020, the longest March to date. Civilization was still “normal”-ish when the month came in (like a lion?) and goes out as the plague.

I must admit, if it wasn’t for the general dread in the æthyr now, or concerns about Janice, or Calliope, this would be a pretty fantastic adventure. Suddenly we are on a different planet!

We are on a different planet.

It is a fantastic adventure.

Sad and strange …

However, as optimists, we find ways to press on!

We conclude the month with our first virtual circle.

Me, Visitor Blim, Beachmont Frank, and Other Derek made good use of the Zoom:

Music played via YouTube, we can now share a playable link:

Stay Safe.

OPETH and Peter’s Tree

~~~

Even in these troubling times, the good times appear.

Last weekend I met Cousin Brian at South Station. We took the train to NYC and met Tech Support at The Blarney Stone. Then trained to Brooklyn to visit Prospect Park.

There we had to search to find “Peter’s Tree”, a tree planted in honor and memory of Peter Steele – a Brooklyn native who worked for the parks and rec department.

We then had a fabulous lunch before returning downtown to check into our hotel.

Had a few drinks and laughs then back on the train uptown:

To the legendary Apollo Theatre to see OPETH.

A few photographs:

And the film:

Pretty nice, right?
