A few photos and music from last week’s Love Now event organized by Mary Ross, Jayshree Bala Rajamani, and Regie O’Hare Gibson. Amazing to participate in this gathering as part of Trailmix, as seen in these photos by Kolam Media Creations I used to make this video vignette featuring my contribution
First flowers are arriving! Tulips, andromedas, crocuses, and snowdrops!
First Flowers of 2026:
#Crocuses & #Snowdrops!
Three days ago they were buried under a foot of snow! #SeeTheBeauty
Today’s views include: The most Cambridge snow-shoveled-parking-space-saver I’ve ever seen: a Packard Bell Multimedia computer (made between 1993 and 1996), with #Intel inside (Pentium processor), a CD-ROM drive, and a 3.5-inch floppy drive. Look it up on eBay!
Oddly, I just discovered this note!

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
And then there was last night’s amazing sunset! Scenes from Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts
Scenes from yesterday in Boston — a gorgeous January day ahead of the big weekend storm…
We celebrate Martin Luther King Day in many ways, but rarely do we listen to his actual voice and words calling for a radical reordering of our values — in opposition to war, racism, and poverty. Pause to remember and reflect on the work and life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. #MLK #MLKday
2025 invited me to pay closer attention to who I was becoming.
🟣Some of that attention was inward.
🔵Some of it showed up in public, professional, and unexpected spaces.
🟢These moments reflect different versions of me that had to coexist this year.
Thank you Friend Barbara!

Rhododendrons blooming wildly in June!
“I found myself in JUMBO, a large collection of local alternative rockers and others who played barely-recognizable versions of the most ubiquitous circus tunes…and showed how a big group with a thoroughly playful attitude can be a bulwark against both musical dissonance and a fear of wrong notes.”
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
— Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in “Strength to Love,” 1963.
