Wildfires are burning close to my family’s home in Santa Rosa. The hill behind the house is Annadel State Park, currently on fire, and the fire department is bivouacked in the otherwise-evacuated neighborhood.
Accessible music
I’ve been making music to meditate and feel and comfort my body, accessible music using the computer and MIDI. I am getting used to making “muzak” on the computer, and pushing my own boundaries.
Houseguest
I have a houseguest, a person that I don’t know very well. It’s fun.

Welcome to What’s the Matter With Me? Podcast Episode 15
I start the episode off with the handicap space for the third episode in row. My garden gives me room to breathe from the grasp of disability — but I supplement with physical therapy and mindfulness practice.
I’m teaching my son to watch birds and he made a correct identification.

This is a photograph of Hoffee’s Auto Body Shop in San José, California on the last day of business before closing. David Li owned the place and was my family’s mechanic for over 20 years.
Episode 12
Figs — Gruesome Fall — Charcot’s Triad — Controlling Emotions — Burn at the BBQ
I’ve been falling and hurting myself. I need to slow down and be safe. Hurrying makes accidents. At the same time, I need to control my emotions and manage my MS therapy for the sake of my family and my business.
