Soul legend Bill Withers, singer of “Lean on Me” and “Lovely Day,” RIP / Boing Boing

This is another hard hit.

Beatrix and I were just at the piano together on Tuesday singing Lean On Me (I was showing her how to play it).

Ain’t no sunshine when he’s gone.

How have I only just now heard of Visiting Kids?!?

I blame @sanspoint.

New Orleans jazz patriarch Ellis Marsalis dead at 85

I didn’t know how hard Ellis’ passing would hit me.

Hard, man. Hard.

I wrote about my Grandmother and Ellis a while back. (She taught Ellis how to read music) and confirming that story with his son Wynton.

“Every day, try to find one little bit of annoyance in the apartment/home/shack and shift it. Do this for 30 days and you’ll have an entirely new home in spirit, if not possessions.”

This has been working wonders for the spirits in my house too.

This morning’s thought: Love takes courage. The price of love is vulnerability. The deeper the love, the more vulnerable one must become. To love, is to open one’s self up to another and trust them with the power to carve the deepest of wounds. Love is a kind of bravery.

Having cleaned my fountain pens a few days back, I’m trying something new for me. I’ve only inked up one of them and plan to only use that one until it runs dry. That way, I don’t have a bunch of inked up pens not getting used fast enough, thus, drying out before I get to them.

Up my alley: The Plain Text Project.
