What’s the Platter, Charlie Brown?

It’s here! Something you never expected to see, but is interesting to know about. The Peanuts limited edition, 75th anniversary turntable with Ortofon cartridge, built-in phono pre-amp and Bluetooth support.

Sparky’s Self-Analysis

Five minutes with Charles M. Schulz explaining his work and the personal philosophy behind it. I hear something in here that’s similar to the ideas that Fred Rogers explored in his own creative endeavors.

I’m in physical therapy for the collapsed arch in my right foot. I’ve been good about doing the exercises at home, and the results are promising.

Yesterday, the foot felt good enough to go running, but I don’t dare risk undoing the progress I’m making. As I told the podiatrist and the therapist, my goal is to avoid surgery. If that means no longer being able to go running, then so be it.
