I'm sitting behind the wheel of my parked car, waiting for The Child to finish an activity, and writing. There's a keyboard resting on my thighs and the car seat is cupping the small of my back.
The only problem with writing in the car like this in the Summer is that it's pretty warm, but if I roll down the windows someone inevitably decides to smoke or stop and have a cell phone conversation more or less next to the car. The breeze is nice, though.
To cut down on the distractions of the other folks going to and from their cars (cue the father with a crying infant), I've got the radio tuned to KWAX. I've got almonds; I've got tea, and-- Ack! They've changed shows. "Harmonia" has been swapped out for "Early Music Now"! What the heck?
(Listens) Hmmm, they seem slightly... less folksy?... than Harmonia. The music seems a little more focused on a medieval and very early Renaissance music from Spain, Italy, and France. The host seems to be less your eccentric liberal-arts aunt and more corporate symphony cousin. The production values are a little higher. I guess I'll have to listen a few more times to see what I think... I'm still surprised KWAX changed shows.

I've been attempting to mix things up at the gym in order to keep my elbow joints from aching. I think maybe the Nordic Elliptical on top of the pec-flies and the lat pull-down.
The other afternoon, I sat The Child down and we watched an old US Department of Defense film on resisting fascist propaganda. I'm hoping it helps him to recognize some of the hateful rhetoric bouncing around.
