Did the non Big Sur part of our trip with Joannes Sister, Sue, and took in the sights and wildlife of Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel (by the sea).

It's late and I'm tired, but here's a start. Needs a new seat post and seat. I'm going to update the cockpit properly. Already have a different wheel set for it, which is why I didn't bother installing the rotors.

Talking with Google AI about what's so magical (mostly Nelson Riddle) about Sinatra's and Jarret's versions of "It's a Lonesome Old Town" and I've assigned myself some listening, so I'm listening: Sinatra, Sings for Only the Lonely and Where Are You? Nat King Cole, The Very Thought of You and Night Lights Keith Jarrett, of course, and John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman

It's a great album. I love all three musicians but Coltrane comes in third.

Listen to the playlist Glen Hansard on Qobuz https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/1952713 For reasons.

Here’s one of my secrets - I’ll take Coltrane and Bill Evans over Miles Davis any day. That’s probably little to do with the artists, but damn is this album great (the cover art is not)

RIP Dale Jones, aka Bones, aka my mom's husband. He had been dealing with dementia and was moved to a nursing facility the day before. We knew it was coming but she has lost her brother, sister in law, a close cousin, and now Bones, all in the past few years. Not many people left in the family and it's tough for her.
