You say hiatus,

• I say who ate this?

Whichever trip through time you're currently flowing within, I beg you to maintain course. Full steam ahead, as it were. Forward march. Myopia preferred.

Because any diversion into this realm, the absurd cartoon universe that I reside within - well, you'll be disappointed. Yep. Dis.sed.

You've been warned.

• At least now you have. I think

at least.

If warning you was trying to convince you that whatever you were doing before you ended up here should just maintain. It would be a much better use of your time than engaging with the gnome infested gray matter coagulating this elongated skull.

Capisce?

Si.

If ever there were an episode that exposed just how unnecessary this intro blurb is...

• Episode 10 of 53

Once again, I offer proof that nobody can derail their own train better than I can...

...

and that proof is this recording.

In fact, so honed are my skills in this regard that I can even do so from within my dream state. On another planet. Entirely from another life lived. One filled with bliss and harmony and self-love and grace...

So definitely not this one.

• Amirite Israel?

And exactly like the Chad incident a few recordings previously, in this context, I am addressing Israel the nation, not Israel the dude. Always good to communicate clearly what our intentions toward another are rather than what they might be misinterpreted as representing if not clearly stated...

Hey Hey Hey Universe.

You've caught me a bit offguard here. Excuse my mess. I'm celebrating mother's day this year the only way available - by making it all about me.

• And a little tiny bit about my mom.

To be fair, my mom up and ran to the Caribbean with my sister at 430 MST this morning so making today all about her seems a little out of place.

1. How would that even work?
2. Zoom call drinks & dinner?
3. Well if you're thinking...
4. "yeah... that probably wouldn't be worth doing after traveling all day like they did..." well...
5. You're in exactly the mindset I want you in.
6. You will "by default" skip out on this recording.
7. Like you were hypnotized.
8. And became a chicken.

Because let me tell you something mister buddy boy and miss goodie girl, this recording, this one right here now, this is the worst one yet.

So low is the bar set by this performance that I could even see it breaking us up. Forever.

Or at least put us on a long overdue break from each other - so that we can think about why we even need a Mother's Day holiday to celebrate.

Having already taken 100+ minutes to meander through that thistle patch I can relay to you that excursion got me nowhere.

• Nada.
• Zippo.
• Clue.
• Less.

Even now, after bulleting out that list I still have no clue why Mother's Day got invented - it doesn't make sense. We all love mom every day. It's a given. It's never a token gesture. Okay... it's rarely a token gesture. We all have our days.

Unless, you unpause and consider the 113 million greeting cards we Americans exchange in recognition of this cockamamie non-holiday made up event occasion that comes around every second Sunday in May.

• May.
• Be.
• That had something to do with it.

Amirite Hallmark?

1. Hell
2. Yes
3. I
4. Am.
5. Hell yes I am.

This frankenstein monster ends my threepeat - my most recent episodic trilogy - the George Lucas way, with more regret than one knows what to do with.

To which I say:

• Whatevz.
• Already forgotten about.

As if anywhere at all I have limited regrets in life? Come on.

• Seriously - come on!

Let's get going here.

We're only living with regrets because collectively we've decided we're okay with it. Well I say to that:

• No more.
• No more of this mediocrity among us.

Or at least I say that applies after this one. Because if mediocrity ever wanted a 21st century definition update? I believe this recording might sit as exhibit A.

Now, is that enough to convince you to go watch Anatomy of a Fall?

• I certainly hope so.

I really do.

Finally!

After many attempts to drill down on money and its emergence as a crucial component of civilized society - here, in this recording, I finally stay on point.

• Come to any conclusions???
• Well, yes.
• Sort of.
• Oh I don't really know.
• Maybe you should decide.
• MAYBE.

Probably not though.

Again, it is very much up to you.

• As it always has been.
• As it always will be.

This recording is work.

It was work for me.

And it will be work for you.

Not physical labor mind you - no no no - that would be easy.

No the work involved here is mental and not the fun gymnastics kind of mental - nope this one is dissociative schizophrenia all the way.

So.

Basically.

It's my usual...

As it were.

1. Now.
2. As you were.

Or make the mistake of listening to this one, and then the next one... and then the one after that.

...

And then, for the good of yourself, go smile at a dog or something else that's soulful.

1. It's all up to you.

So yeah... I've been AWOL for a bit.

If I can be so generous in decribing the gap in recording time I've allowed to pile up like laundry I'm ignoring here in April.

Will you grant me the latitude? I knew I liked you... so easy to get along with when I give you no voice.

Now how do you feel about folding boxer shorts?

Oh that's the line is it?

1. Okay.
2. I can live with that.

Hopefully as easily as you can live with my elevating concern for humanity's soul - as revealed throughout today's recording. To say I'm peaking would not be unfair. Not unfair at all.

Since nobody's reading this far into my description I'll pony up a little housekeeping... does anyone by chance know where I put my right sports earbud? It's been missing for a few days now. I do wish those things weren't so easy to misplace!

1. Also, I really need to get a job.
2. And this time I mean it!
3. I hope.

I know, I know... I heard you okay... ??.

I've been going a bit long lately. I get it.

So...

I thought I'd take it easy like a hotel in California by preparing something a bit more Tik-Tok.

• In this recording I spend 10:33 of the 12:46 talking about ticks.

The rest of the recording is a public service message from some foundation with a ridiculously long name.

Then, unexpectedly, we hear from Benji Netanhayu.

• Do you think he'll be cool if I call him Benji?

No?

• Benny?
• BenBen?
• BJ?
• BJ BennyBenBen?

Anyone got a Tic-Tac?

My failure to launch yesterday, March 29th, was not intentional.

In fact It would have been my guardian angel's 35th birthday were she still with us. It's an event I've been eyeing since Thanksgiving if not earlier. Given her recent passing, I wanted yesterday's recording to express how much I valued her while she was here.

• I simply could not find the proper tone to match the moment.

It just wasn't meant to be.

• But today's recording?

This one was very much meant to be. Meant to be interesting. Meant to be respectful. Meant to be insightful. Meant to be contemplative. Meant to be connective. Meant to be many things...
