Then, of course, the realization always follows that I WILL die, sooner or later.&#160; And that doesn&#8217;t make me special; all of you will too.&#160; I could survive a dozen deadly cancers, be a walking medical miracle, and then unexpectedly have a run-in with a rabid illegally imported chinchilla that would end me. And what a way to go.&#160; It&#8217;s embarrassing how poorly we (Americans in particular) cope with the inevitability of death when the fact iswe walk with it daily. In any case, mortality has been on my mind for the last six weeks or so.&#160; I fretted, I fussed, and between doctor and hospital visits I found I wanted to do very different things than I imagined I&#8217;d want to do.&#160; Go hiking &#8212; now.&#160; Sit for an hour with a borrowed cat &#8212; now.&#160; Step outside and look at the mountains &#8212; now. Why bring this up with you?&#160; Well, it&#8217;s breast cancer awareness month, for one.&#160; Check &#8216;em, ladies.&#160; Set an alarm on your fancy phone.&#160; And it&#8217;s never a bad time to ponder the stuff you need to do to have a full life &#8212; now.&#160; Please take a second to remember. Suppose you and I never realize our full potential as human beings; suppose we either don&#8217;t work hard enough, or we&#8217;re not good enough, or life thwarts us, or whatever.&#160; And we don&#8217;t reach our goals, and we&#8217;re unsatisfied with the Cliff&#8217;s Notes version of our life.&#160; Then what are we left with?&#160; How we lived along the way. How we used our eyes to see and hands to do.&#160; That&#8217;s all we get.&#160; You know this.&#160; I don&#8217;t have to preach at you.&#160; But I&#8217;m happy to remind you. I got a clean bill of health last week &#8212; the lump was nothing, though for quite a while they thought it was &#8212; and I&#8217;m feeling much better now.* But I want to remember what I learned while I was wondering about the length of my barely-significant life.&#160; I want to remember how deeply I loved looking at Alaska, and how much I appreciated the company of good friends.&#160; How staying positive and thankful, inasmuch as I could, held me together.&#160; How risks suddenly seemed smaller, less scary, and more appealing.&#160; Hold that knowledge tight. I&#8217;m not at all special for going through this; it&#8217;s a little little nothing, and so many people go through worse every day.&#160; But it&#8217;s real.&#160; Sharing stories is what we do, so this is mine at the moment.&#160; Please be mindful of your life and death.&#160; Be mindful.&#160; That&#8217;s all. I look forward to seeing some of you in New York City, Massachusetts, and Seattle next month &#8211; Marian *I also got another kind of bill that made me less than thrilled.&#160; But had I needed some sort of operation, I would be filing for bankruptcy and ending my career.&#160; For the record, and this is my first openly public political statement ever: though I&#8217;m in many ways a conservative, I support the public option, partially because I have little to no hope of health care in the foreseeable future, and neither do most of my friends &#8212; I know far too many artists and musicians desperately fundraising tens of thousands or more to cover a single illness that&#8217;s long past.&#160; But I won&#8217;t discuss politics at length here, or in the comments.&#160; If it helps you to put a face on the solvent yet uninsured, anyway, mine will do.</itunes:subtitle>

      <title>Exclusive mp3 from Boo Hewerdine&#8217;s (former The Bible frontman) new record &#8220;God Bless The Pretty Things&#8221; (Navigator, Oct 26)</title>
      <link>http://www.odeo.com/episodes/25289902-Exclusive-mp3-from-Boo-Hewerdine%E2%80%99s-former-The-Bible-frontman-new-record-%E2%80%9CGod-Bless-The-Pretty-Things%E2%80%9D-Navigator-Oct-26</link>
      <description>If Boo Hewerdine is known nowadays it&#8217;s for being the former lead singer of the English band The Bible. But for me I&#8217;ll always associate him (even though I loved some of the stuff The Bible put out) with one record he did with Darden Smith in 1989 called Evidence. It was a strange collaboration since Boo was known for gorgeous indie rock and Darden for southwestern rootsy folk. But they pulled it off and in fact it was those contrasting approaches to music that did it. Boo Hewerdine&#8217;s first record in almost a decade is out Oct 26. It&#8217;s called God Bless The Pretty Things. As you can hear from the song &#8220;Muddy Water&#8221; Boo has one of the most beautiful male voices in music. Buy it here. Muddy Water Bonus: Boo Hewerdine is very generous on his website with mp3&#8217;s from his discography available for sampling. Here are a couple I like. Love Thieves Mapping the Human Heart Bell Book and Candle From The Bible Crystal Palace</description>

      <title>Matt the Electrician - &#8220;Animal Boy&#8221; (Available now)</title>
      <link>http://www.odeo.com/episodes/25255342-Matt-the-Electrician-%E2%80%9CAnimal-Boy%E2%80%9D-Available-now</link>
      <description>Matt The Electrician is an all around great dude. You&#8217;ll hear that from his friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. He&#8217;s also a pretty great songwriter and instrumentalist. Unlike some artists that release dozens of records but never show you their true face, on Animal Boy, Matt leaves no personal or autobiographical stone unturned. It&#8217;s all in there for the good of the song and I suppose Matt&#8217;s sanity. Even the cover songs are used to relay Matt&#8217;s heartfelt emotions and made his own like on &#8220;Faithfully&#8221; where he pledges lifelong fidelity to his lover. Or on his own song &#8220;Got Your Back&#8221; where he pleads his case once again for staying together forever through thick and thin. But it&#8217;s this song about a letter he actually wrote to the Walmart customer complaint department about a worker who helps him in his time of need that is both autobiographical and hilarious that I share with you today (listen as he rhymes &#8220;garage&#8221; and &#8220;assuage&#8221; and name drops Miley Cyrus amidst other literary fea...</description>

      <description>Greg Tropper is a throwback artist. Like those throwback jerseys the NFL is peddling, Greg Trooper&#8217;s music is a mix of the classic sounds from the past and a modern sensibility. His mix of folk, blues, and soul make his music nearly unclassifiable. Greg&#8217;s &#8220;new&#8221; record was recorded in 1995 and produced by Eric &#8220;Roscoe&#8221; Ambel. It never saw the light of day for whatever reason and now it is available as a pre-order digital download from Greg Trooper here. Here&#8217;s one of the blue eyed soul numbers from the new album The Williamsburg Affair. Stronger All The Time</description>

      <description>Whole Wheat Community Jim Kloss and Whole Wheat Radio are creating new definitions of community. As our government structures argue and debate over their ideologies and dogma, it is more common to see the people doing a much better job of building a future built upon transparency, accountability, and sustainability. These are the key factors...the very foundation stones of our future...and community is the tool of choice in this millenium. So what is so unique about the Whole Wheat community? Well, it has a lot to do with demonstrating fiscal responsibility by being publicly accountable for all income and expenses. It has a lot to do with initiating a local mission along with an Internet mission, and melding the physical world with the virtual world. WWR is not your average run-o-the-mill Internet Radio station streaming music and webcasting house concerts. The community's roots go much deeper than that.

Well, it has a lot to do with demonstrating fiscal responsibility by being publicly accountable for all income and expenses. It has a lot to do with initiating a local mission along with an Internet mission, and melding the physical world with the virtual world. WWR is not your average run-o-the-mill Internet Radio station streaming music and webcasting house concerts. The community's roots go much deeper than that. As an example, last December WWR hosted one of the Transition Health Policy Team's community discussions with participation from the Talkeetna residents and the online members. It's all there, it's transparent...take a look! Whole Wheat was an active participant in the Talkeetna Community Playground Project, and purchased the monkey bars. We were there as the 2008 Talkeetna Democratic Caucus was webcast. The Internet community was even involved in the decision making process when the question of whether WWR should remain a member of the Talkeetna Chamber of Commerce. Now there is a new twist to the Chamber of Commerce story which has brought to the forefront the need for a Whole Wheat Radio Event Contract. Jim's quick summary of the new twist: I am trying to establish a generally non-discriminatory policy for holding events here. What do we, as the listening community, get in exchange? The right to webcast, record and document whatever that activity is. I realize that many of you won't be interested in listening to the meetings, but the deeper issue is: the local community will have a media resource they or their organizations can potentially use. This will hopefully encourage more local participation in all aspects of WWR. I have participated in many online communities over the last 10 years, and I am really loving the directions taken by the WWR community...that is why I have remained and supported not just the wonderful independent music offered for play by some absolutely wonderful artists...but also because of the idea of an open community. A model that bridges the gap and encompasses both worlds...one which allows everybody, whether physically or virtually, to be part of the overall value of the community. Whole Wheat has been the perfect place for allowing people the opportunity of creating a valuable community. I am sure most people get overwhelmed by the multitude of social sites out there. They all have qualities and can be beneficial for many reasons. I have enjoyed my Google Reader, and I have also utilized a few of the social sites other than Facebook. All of them have their place, pros and cons, but when it comes down to basics and feeling at home...I'll choose the Whole Wheat community over all the other hyped social sites every time!</itunes:subtitle>

Jim's quick summary of the new twist: I am trying to establish a generally non-discriminatory policy for holding events here. What do we, as the listening community, get in exchange? The right to webcast, record and document whatever that activity is. I realize that many of you won't be interested in listening to the meetings, but the deeper issue is: the local community will have a media resource they or their organizations can potentially use. This will hopefully encourage more local participation in all aspects of WWR. I have participated in many online communities over the last 10 years, and I am really loving the directions taken by the WWR community...that is why I have remained and supported not just the wonderful independent music offered for play by some absolutely wonderful artists...but also because of the idea of an open community. A model that bridges the gap and encompasses both worlds...one which allows everybody, whether physically or virtually, to be part of the overall value of the community. Whole Wheat has been the perfect place for allowing people the opportunity of creating a valuable community. I am sure most people get overwhelmed by the multitude of social sites out there. They all have qualities and can be beneficial for many reasons. I have enjoyed my Google Reader, and I have also utilized a few of the social sites other than Facebook. All of them have their place, pros and cons, but when it comes down to basics and feeling at home...I'll choose the Whole Wheat community over all the other hyped social sites every time!</itunes:summary>

I am a restless pupil. I keep one unblinking eye out the window, always, to make the ground stay where it ought to, to eject if I must. My lessons will not take not take not take, so I rescribe them, so I make flashcards, so I repeat and repeat again: I&#8217;ve learned this much is true: : One. We fold up the wheels to fly. No don&#8217;t let&#8217;s go back We dial down the engines to cruise. We cannot continue up and up and always up &#8211; we will plateau, twenty minutes in, and when we do, you&#8217;ll feel a clenched fist pull your stomach straight down a thousand feet, every time, and then we will descend, every time, which is worse, every time. Two. There is a backup plan: should the hydraulics fail, the wheels can still extend and retract five times before they&#8217;re exhausted. We have two engines, but one is enough. Three. The sun rises with you and sets later &#8212; the day is longer &#8212; from way up here. Some seasonal changes can only be seen from above. Everything looks its proper size, the busy things little, the ancient things looming. Four. Clouds indicate excitement ahead. The little bumps will make you jump, but they won&#8217;t take you out. True turbulence inspires shouts, involuntary, hallelujah, as it acquaints you finally with the naked strength of the forces that keep you impossibly afloat. Blasts buffet our tiny bodies and we remember our relative importance and we shake Five. It is possible to keep one&#8217;s calf muscles flexed and taut for all of nine hours without ever relaxing. Or noticing. Six. Do-overs and go-&#8216;rounds are horrific but smart. The alternative, stubbornness &#8211; costly. Seven. Weight is no governor of airworthiness.&#160; There are other forces at play. Thrust overcomes gravity, logic, boggles every obstacle. Eight. Airplanes want to fly.&#160; It&#8217;s harder to land than to launch. In fact, A stiff breeze on the tarmac will lift each bird with longing. Best tie them down &#8217;til takeoff or they will. And sure as sure is sure, I am not the captain and he will not let me steer or even make suggestions. Nine. Ten. Try though I might with cold concentration to keep us airborne, we land every time. (As we must.&#160; My foolishness knows no bounds. My stomach will not be persuaded.&#160; Stay up stay up stay) And last (take note, write this down, quick, eleven, keep breathing): we must do as much falling as flying &#8211; exactly, to the inch &#8212; to go anywhere. I&#8217;ve got it, it&#8217;s all down all down, I abbreviate wildly, trying so hard so hard to transcribe this thund&#8217;rous three-hour lecture, while with chapped lips I swallow lukewarm air in quarts and bless my terror: I bless the takeoff, the touchdown, and that time in-between three hundred souls inevitably bent on anxious meditation scratching at the meaning in this hollow bird, all of us, all of it crammed with prayers and promises. ++++++++++ Test Strips or Colored Crises of Conscience Deep down darkroom where I&#8217;m Queen of all you see &#8211; manipulating images &#8212; at last a lone and quiet and free to wrestle all my inner demons. The smell of fixer soaks my hands. My crystal ball, the test strip in the tub slowly glows its prognostic-stripes &#8212; three seconds, six seconds, nine, wow, double digits, so so dark &#8212; my feet hurt too much to wonder. Choose quickly. Set the timer. I fix the paper, ferry it into the light and sit for the first time in hours (I must. Just a moment. Wait). Her skin in shades of gray unmakes me. Ghostly or sunburnt? I get to decide. Like back in high school, in Washington, in the rainforest of the nation, where the sun-god shon so seldom it tempted my soggy imagination toward degrees of browner white. C&#8217;mon, all the cute girls do it, spend their time, their parents&#8217; money, to go to the mini-mall but return from Cabo. To fake&#8217;n&#8217;bake or no? That was my question. Of course, not really my question &#8212; I couldn&#8217;t afford those radiant hotbeds of rest free lunch kid book of tickets dangling and if I could I&#8217;d just get skin cancer, like as not; at least premature wrinkles. Still in summertime I chose my SPF: 45, 30, 15 &#8212; flirting with danger &#8211; wondering if sun really cured acne, wondering if those girls (boys) would notice me if I looked orange like them against the Blue-gray Sound. Bleach my hair. Take diet pills. Learn to walk that way. Quit acting so damn smart. Pretend to hate my teachers. Then would I escape these minor crises of conscience, wondering now if it&#8217;s a sin for me to keep my lily-white Scandinavian/English/Scotch-Irish skin? To like it sometimes, even? Bitch, racist, don&#8217;t even think that. White is trite. In Hawai&#8217;i they stared for good reason. I was wrestling with issues of sov&#8217;reignty in museums, studying the Queen&#8217;s jail cell, not lying out by the pool. Hah. At work they asked me why I had nothing to show for my trip, gringa. I grinned, I laughed.&#160; Rolled down my sleeves. So now what do I do with my own photograph? Three seconds, six seconds, nine seconds, twelve. Reimagine myself. Could I slip out of the grip suffocating white liberal guilt if I just drift, just let myself follow the sun &#8212; hell with cancer, loosen up, bitch &#8211; and stopped carrying 45 like a gun in my backpack? I guess I&#8217;d survive and eventually get tawny and chic. As if. Well, maybe just one second more. There. Maybe freckles would scare off the zits. There. Maybe my man would survey me proudly, bless me: Look at you, you&#8217;ve got some color! This photo at the beach would look so much sweeter &#8211; but the heart of my matter is, you&#8217;ve stared down this demon before. Here in California it takes so so so much effort (and sunscreen and shut-up and forced, cold laughter) just to like myself the way I&#8217;m meant to be: Healthy. Just healthy. Just&#8230;one more second.</itunes:subtitle>

I&#8217;ve got it, it&#8217;s all down all down, I abbreviate wildly, trying so hard so hard to transcribe this thund&#8217;rous three-hour lecture, while with chapped lips I swallow lukewarm air in quarts and bless my terror: I bless the takeoff, the touchdown, and that time in-between three hundred souls inevitably bent on anxious meditation scratching at the meaning in this hollow bird, all of us, all of it crammed with prayers and promises. ++++++++++ Test Strips or Colored Crises of Conscience Deep down darkroom where I&#8217;m Queen of all you see &#8211; manipulating images &#8212; at last a lone and quiet and free to wrestle all my inner demons. The smell of fixer soaks my hands. My crystal ball, the test strip in the tub slowly glows its prognostic-stripes &#8212; three seconds, six seconds, nine, wow, double digits, so so dark &#8212; my feet hurt too much to wonder. Choose quickly. Set the timer. I fix the paper, ferry it into the light and sit for the first time in hours (I must. Just a moment. Wait). Her skin in shades of gray unmakes me. Ghostly or sunburnt? I get to decide. Like back in high school, in Washington, in the rainforest of the nation, where the sun-god shon so seldom it tempted my soggy imagination toward degrees of browner white. C&#8217;mon, all the cute girls do it, spend their time, their parents&#8217; money, to go to the mini-mall but return from Cabo. To fake&#8217;n&#8217;bake or no? That was my question. Of course, not really my question &#8212; I couldn&#8217;t afford those radiant hotbeds of rest free lunch kid book of tickets dangling and if I could I&#8217;d just get skin cancer, like as not; at least premature wrinkles. Still in summertime I chose my SPF: 45, 30, 15 &#8212; flirting with danger &#8211; wondering if sun really cured acne, wondering if those girls (boys) would notice me if I looked orange like them against the Blue-gray Sound. Bleach my hair. Take diet pills. Learn to walk that way. Quit acting so damn smart. Pretend to hate my teachers. Then would I escape these minor crises of conscience, wondering now if it&#8217;s a sin for me to keep my lily-white Scandinavian/English/Scotch-Irish skin? To like it sometimes, even? Bitch, racist, don&#8217;t even think that. White is trite. In Hawai&#8217;i they stared for good reason. I was wrestling with issues of sov&#8217;reignty in museums, studying the Queen&#8217;s jail cell, not lying out by the pool. Hah. At work they asked me why I had nothing to show for my trip, gringa. I grinned, I laughed.&#160; Rolled down my sleeves. So now what do I do with my own photograph? Three seconds, six seconds, nine seconds, twelve. Reimagine myself. Could I slip out of the grip suffocating white liberal guilt if I just drift, just let myself follow the sun &#8212; hell with cancer, loosen up, bitch &#8211; and stopped carrying 45 like a gun in my backpack? I guess I&#8217;d survive and eventually get tawny and chic. As if. Well, maybe just one second more. There. Maybe freckles would scare off the zits. There. Maybe my man would survey me proudly, bless me: Look at you, you&#8217;ve got some color! This photo at the beach would look so much sweeter &#8211; but the heart of my matter is, you&#8217;ve stared down this demon before. Here in California it takes so so so much effort (and sunscreen and shut-up and forced, cold laughter) just to like myself the way I&#8217;m meant to be: Healthy. Just healthy. Just&#8230;one more second.</itunes:subtitle>
      <itunes:summary>Here are a couple old poems that want to have a permanent home here.&#160; Plus I miss having time to write at you guys!&#160; I&#8217;m working for The Lion King and planning for some recording this winter.&#160; Fingers crossed that the money, the time, and my sanity align. I have had poetry on the brain this month; I&#8217;ve gone to several readings and shared a concert with Anchorage poet Keith Liles, which was a lot of fun.&#160; Here are two old poems of mine that just wanted to be posted somewhere permanent, so here they are, for my reference as much as anything else. And constantly being revised. All my best to you &#8211; M What I&#8217;ve learned from Boeing (with thanks also to McDonnell-Douglas, Airbus, Piper, and Aeronca) They terrify, but they&#8217;ve taught me, these towering painted tubes. I am a restless pupil. I keep one unblinking eye out the window, always, to make the ground stay where it ought to, to eject if I must. My lessons will not take not take not take, so I rescribe them, so I make flashcards, so I repeat and repeat again: I&#8217;ve learned this much is true: : One. We fold up the wheels to fly. No don&#8217;t let&#8217;s go back We dial down the engines to cruise. We cannot continue up and up and always up &#8211; we will plateau, twenty minutes in, and when we do, you&#8217;ll feel a clenched fist pull your stomach straight down a thousand feet, every time, and then we will descend, every time, which is worse, every time. Two. There is a backup plan: should the hydraulics fail, the wheels can still extend and retract five times before they&#8217;re exhausted. We have two engines, but one is enough. Three. The sun rises with you and sets later &#8212; the day is longer &#8212; from way up here. Some seasonal changes can only be seen from above. Everything looks its proper size, the busy things little, the ancient things looming. Four. Clouds indicate excitement ahead. The little bumps will make you jump, but they won&#8217;t take you out. True turbulence inspires shouts, involuntary, hallelujah, as it acquaints you finally with the naked strength of the forces that keep you impossibly afloat. Blasts buffet our tiny bodies and we remember our relative importance and we shake Five. It is possible to keep one&#8217;s calf muscles flexed and taut for all of nine hours without ever relaxing. Or noticing. Six. Do-overs and go-&#8216;rounds are horrific but smart. The alternative, stubbornness &#8211; costly. Seven. Weight is no governor of airworthiness.&#160; There are other forces at play. Thrust overcomes gravity, logic, boggles every obstacle. Eight. Airplanes want to fly.&#160; It&#8217;s harder to land than to launch. In fact, A stiff breeze on the tarmac will lift each bird with longing. Best tie them down &#8217;til takeoff or they will. And sure as sure is sure, I am not the captain and he will not let me steer or even make suggestions. Nine. Ten. Try though I might with cold concentration to keep us airborne, we land every time. (As we must.&#160; My foolishness knows no bounds. My stomach will not be persuaded.&#160; Stay up stay up stay) And last (take note, write this down, quick, eleven, keep breathing): we must do as much falling as flying &#8211; exactly, to the inch &#8212; to go anywhere. I&#8217;ve got it, it&#8217;s all down all down, I abbreviate wildly, trying so hard so hard to transcribe this thund&#8217;rous three-hour lecture, while with chapped lips I swallow lukewarm air in quarts and bless my terror: I bless the takeoff, the touchdown, and that time in-between three hundred souls inevitably bent on anxious meditation scratching at the meaning in this hollow bird, all of us, all of it crammed with prayers and promises. ++++++++++ Test Strips or Colored Crises of Conscience Deep down darkroom where I&#8217;m Queen of all you see &#8211; manipulating images &#8212; at last a lone and quiet and free to wrestle all my inner demons.

      <title>Malcolm Holcombe - &#8220;For The Mission Baby&#8221; (Echo Mountain, Sept. 29)</title>

      <description>Here&#8217;s my modus operandi: find something I like that no one else has written about and share it with you. It&#8217;s a pretty hard and fast rule for the site. With exceptions. Malcolm Holcombe is one such exception. See the new record has already been mentioned by The Velvet Rut, 9B, and on Hero Hill but that&#8217;s not going to stop me. I chose the title track to share since it clearly struck a chord with Holcolmbe and it&#8217;s also got more of an old timey sound than some of the more blues influenced tracks on the new record. Guests include Mary Gauthier and Tim O&#8217;Brien. For The Mission Baby</description>

      <title>Folk Crush: Abi Tapia</title>
      <link>http://www.odeo.com/episodes/24912680-Folk-Crush-Abi-Tapia</link>
      <description>We love us some Abi Tapia. After seeing her set at Falcon Ridge in the Most Wanted Song Swap, we fell absolutely in love with her songs. So much so that we went home and bought her latest CD, The Beauty in the Ruin, in its entirety. And we haven&#8217;t stopped listening. &#8220;Let the Lover Be&#8221; is an anthem for LGBT community and we can&#8217;t stop singing it in the car. Here&#8217;s a video in case you need convincing: Right?! Right?! Gahhh, we love love love her. We want to pinch her cute little cheeks. She&#8217;s got a great stage presence too, and if you live in NYC you can find that out for yourself when Abi plays at The Bitter End at 8pm tonight! And for those of us in Boston, Abi has two local gigs coming up: Toad in Cambridge (8/26) and the Boston Folk Festival (9/13). (Abi Tapia&#8217;s latest CD is The Beauty in the Ruin, available on iTunes. For tour dates and more go to www.abitapia.com)</description>

      <itunes:summary>We love us some Abi Tapia. After seeing her set at Falcon Ridge in the Most Wanted Song Swap, we fell absolutely in love with her songs. So much so that we went home and bought her latest CD, The Beauty in the Ruin, in its entirety. And we haven&#8217;t stopped listening. &#8220;Let the Lover Be&#8221; is an anthem for LGBT community and we can&#8217;t stop singing it in the car. Here&#8217;s a video in case you need convincing: Right?! Right?! Gahhh, we love love love her. We want to pinch her cute little cheeks. She&#8217;s got a great stage presence too, and if you live in NYC you can find that out for yourself when Abi plays at The Bitter End at 8pm tonight!
