Lately, as of October 2025:
- I’m giving myself permission to not try to be the greatest jazz pianist, but focusing instead on piano tuning work, composing and recording.
Why:
- I was feeling pulled different directions with no time to do anything well.
- And writing because someone asked me to.
- And because I noticed that I was always wanting to stop an improvisation to perfect this or that note, and recording lets you do that.
Also:
- Back to running after two years away. Warmup, then sprint intervals. Then weights.
- Reading: philosophy (John Vervaeke lecture videos), education/technology (“The World is Flat”, Thomas Friedman), spirituality (Ramana Maharshi), history (a biography of Thomas Jefferson), health, and technical (piano technology, Python/Django coding).
