After spending 2024 stretching my inward self and tight IT band, here I am once again to regurge. I don't read any of the new books or watch much of the new shows or listen to much new music. "New and Now" don't necessarily indicate quality and quite surprising to me, that's what I'm more interested in these days. Depth. Wonder. The stone that the builder refuse shall always be the head cornerstone: whimsical pretentiousness with an underlying utter stone heft.
