1000 concerts (but probably more) between 1978 and 2026

7,253 days with children in school

A big round of poems submitted to magazines

Remembering my radio shows that went from Abdullah Ibrahim (1934-2026) to Sheila Jordan

Memorizing a poem in a linguistics class (Denise Levertov’s “To the Reader”)
