once Kobayashi Issa was asked to submit a haiku to a competition that included a cash prize. the subject was on new fallen snow. thus we get this snarky gem;
Writing shit about new fallen snow
For the rich
Is not art.
i'd like to believe he won but the story isn't clear on that detail.

one's for sorry, two's for joy
three's for a girl, and four's for a boy
five for silver, six for gold
seven's for a secret never told

a cat loose in the school would have been a major distraction which would have certainly improved the situation.

those familiar with my old comic A Javan Tiger (Tiger Tea is a kind of stand alone sequel) would note that old Lulu would never have acknowledged boundaries. she was kind of a horrible character then.

my first dulcimer i no longer play. i can't imagine the cost of repairs needed but would eventually like to have it professionally done. it was built by my grandpa from one of two kits ordered from an Earthways catalog sometime back in the 70s. the other lost somehow. Agi's dulcimer is based on the Earthways design but if i remember correctly round and hummingbird shaped soundholes as well as the classic hearts were also available.

the first in a little series of Dust & Crumbs comics based on the haiku of Kobayashi Issa from which my little cricket got his name. i liberally reworded them to fit certain moods but will include the original haiku with loose translation in the comments. i am no authority on Haiku or Kobayashisan and make no pretense. so i hope those more in the know will forgive my romp over sacred writ. 🙃 here's to a happier and better year than a few of the previous ones. 💜

if anyone has requests for future songs let me know in the comments. if it's in the americana, irish, scottish, or english folk traditions i likely already know it. but i am willing to give a try at just about anything.🙂💜

wasn't sure how this would turn out cause of how minimal the line art is. but i'm okay with it overall.

a few times in my life everything comes together and seems to make sense at the moment. in retrospect i have no idea why or where any of it is really going. and it's taken me long enough but i think i'm becoming okay with that not knowing business.

being a weird kid is tough. being the parent of a weird kid is also tough when you yourself are a weird person.

it seemed reasonable at 2 am when i woke up from a dream of my tractor falling into a river and being swept out to sea that these videos are informal enough to be considered video diaries. so that's what they'll be. 🙃

it's been a nice christmas morning. gifts are parceled out, food is in the oven. it's a gray christmas which is a christmas miracle for those of us doomed to work a snow plow.

the first time i stood up to a bully was in the fifth grade in class. i threw him across three desks. i was so livid that if the teacher hadn't been there i would have done a lot more. i count myself a peaceful person. but sometimes you have to fight back. 🙁 peace at the cost of complacency is hardly peaceful.
