Hello. I have further reading for you from Moby Dick at the top of the stairs in the SECRET ROOM.

But before we ascend , this request:

I know I have asked you a few times to do it, but please, make today the day you click on or share this link to get tickets for our upcoming tour:

JUDGE JOHN HODGMAN: ROAD COURT

and please submit your cases for the road court RIGHT HERE.

Please and THANK YOU, because it’s better when you’re there.

It’s me getting Streamy with the JJHO gang, including Joel Mann, who will be joining us in Portland Maine with the Night and Day Jazz Trio. This is the first tour in YEARS that Jennifer Marmor is free to travel with us, so please come out and show her some fond affection!

I saw this loon on Friday flopping around, diving in place and then surfacing, flapping its wings.

Even if you zoom in, it’s hard to tell what is wing and what is body. It wasn’t in distress. Just exulting in some inner mysterious/loony energy.

It’s August now in Maine, which means it’s already deep autumn.

Leaves are genuinely falling, night is genuinely cold, and all creatures are dealing with this sudden snatching away of summer, one way or the other, flapping and exulting in the lowering sunlight.

The rest of this message is SECRET…
