Whither On Vacation?

It's true, I'm going on vacation, so this is the last blog post you'll read from me for a while. I have prepared shows for while I am away tho!

Tonight on KBOO (that is midnight to 3am 5/12/26) I have three hours of songs about tomatoes. It's a long story. I'll tell it maybe sometime.

Next Sunday on XRAY (that is noon to 1pm 5/17/26) a guest host hosts The Dickenbock Report.

Next Tuesday on KBOO (that is midnight to 3am 5/19/26) I have prepared a mix of new releases in the electronic, experimental, & jazz genres.

Sunday after next on XRAY (that is noon to 1pm 5/24/26) I've prepared a show about empires for a dead holiday.

But tune in tonight for a show about tomatoes! Midnight to 3am 90.7fm in Portland, kboo dot fm everywhere. & I'll see you a couple of weeks!

Preface To Vacation Week One: Vacations

(found years ago before Twitter died)

It's true! The wife & I are going on a long vacation. I have already prepared two prerecorded Self Help Radio episodes & two Dickenbock Report episodes. (One of the Dickenbock Report episodes was actually put together by my friend Mark.)

It's the first time in a very long time - if ever - that we are going someplace that's not also a destination for something academic - a conference or research. When we visited Denver in March, she had some gathering to attend & present for. She's kind of afraid we'll have nothing to do.

In addition, we're going overseas in these increasingly unpleasant times - & I'm a little nervous we'll run out of jet fuel & not be able to make it back.

Also of course I'll miss my dogs & cats. It will be the longest I've been away from most of them ever. I wish I could live in the moment like they do but right now they're a little alarmed I'm being overly needy toward them.

Gah! Too much to do! Better get on it. I'm sure I'll talk more about it in about two weeks. Stay tuned.
