Oh, I also got a new camera. I have been looking for a professional-quality "point-and-shoot" to use when I cannot use my larger SLR, or when I just don't want to lug the SLR around. In doing the research I found a great article by a photographer who used a Sony RX-100 to photograph the Rolling Stones in a live performance. Check out the article here, even if you are not interested in learning about the camera because the pictures are fabulous. I bought an RX-100 for myself and have been carrying it around and shooting stuff like crazy. It's an amazing little piece of technology. Here are a couple of photos of the camera. When looking at the photos, remember that this itty-bitty guy took those pictures of the Stones!
"Birth of the Cool" is an album that collects the twelve sides recorded by the Miles Davis nonet (featuring Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz and others) for Capitol Records in 1949 and 1950. The music is considered seminal. This blog is dedicated to that spirit -- keeping things "cool" by blog birthing. If you've got somethin' cool to share, blow on.

I'm still here...
It's been a while since I posted something. I retired at the end of the year and have been converting my home office to a much, much smaller footprint and adding a new bed for guests, etc. This process necessitated some ruthless decisions about discarding things that I no longer have room for. The hoarder in me was sometimes hard to overcome. Anyway, I pretty much finished up the whole conversion today so I can get back to dreaming up some worthy posts.

I'm impressed with how young you look with that new camera, Tom. Makes me want to buy one.
