a better day, for baseball and everything else

except for the fact that a series of coughing fits (not my first night with those this week) is keeping me awake, today was a better day: no horrible women at the beach (or at least none that I could hear), continued excellent weather, finished reading Dinaw Mengestu's The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears (definitely worth this current $4.99 bargain price, though it took me a while to realize that I was wearing a Washington Nationals hat while reading a novel set in D.C. (I'm not all that quick today)) while listening to Thelonious Monk's Complete Riverside Recordings (discs 11-15 mainly), another Met-Yankee interview (Don Schulze), a long (if slightly depressing) walk through the Seaside Heights boardwalk area, some good eating, some cleaning, some packing. out of here in just a number of hours.

my long-form interview with Robyn Hitchcock posted this morning (his latest box set, Luminous Groove, dropped this past Tuesday).

my long-form interview with Marcus Miller (he performs with Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten tomorrow night in New York) posted yesterday.

(don't worry. other than a space blog entry here or there, you'll have nothing at all of mine to read next week.)
