READIN

Jeremy's journal

Somehow, Cleveland has survived, with her gray banner unfurled -- the banner of Archangelsk and Detroit, of Kharkov and Liverpool -- the banner of men and women who would settle the most ignominious parts of the earth, and there, with the hubris born neither of faith nor ideology but biology and longing, bring into the world their whimpering replacements.

🦋 Leap day

It feels like spring now -- the daylight is noticeably longer than it was a week and a half ago, before we went on vacation. The last couple days have been very cold though. Dang, it would be March already if it weren't for those silly authors of the calendar deciding to put the extra day in February -- why not put it in a more pleasant month like May?*

Tickets go on sale tomorrow for the big Nick Lowe/Robyn Hitchcock show in April!

*And, why do the dates of the Equinoces and Solstices not vary with the leap year?

Actually, those dates do vary, though sometimes it's before the leap year.

Oh -- you're right! Somehow I had gotten the idea that they were fixed dates.
