In the usual “down the rabbit hole” fashion, I was bouncing around on YouTube and discovered these David Bowie on Dinah Shore videos from 1975 -  talking about art, self-invention, obsessive love, and Henry Winkler spouting nonsense. Notice how shy and soft-spoken he is. So charming.

So I was bored tonight and decided, like most bored people, to google myself. After the usual spate of linked in, facebook, and twitter links, I started seeing more obscure stuff. Sites I did one-off posts on, sites that were blog post aggregators.

Then suddenly a book acknowledgment for the book “Tarot for Writers” by Corrine Kenner. What? I have been acknowledged in a book, but the authors told me it was happening. But here I was, acknowledge for something I did long ago. Way back when I lived in Minneapolis (second time), I took a “Tarot For Writers” course from Corrine Kenner. I was in a phase where I was flexing my fiction muscles (that’s still a tough thing to do for a business head like me) and this intersected my love of the intuitive with my love of writing. Well Corrine made a book out of the course and thanked her class (including me!) How lovely! I hope her book does well!

I was writing a boring post about Twitter but this just came in. I have this fabulous friend Alex in the U.K. We will likely never meet in person but he delights me with his silliness. He always teased me that he was writing a song about me but I never believed him (charming chap that he is), but he magically produced it today! ROFL!!

it’s a rough recording but it totally made my day!
