My first. Might be more of a #Senryū vs. #Haiku. I like the simplicity of the 5-7-5 constraints either way.

A couple of things crossing my web travels this morning, as it relates to food.

1. Chili Dog Pizza

2. Dill Pickle Bread

My wife has the latter in the oven currently, so I will report back later.

The former I haven’t tried but I think it’s worth the attempt. I might opt to put mustard on as a side as not everyone likes mustard.

I’m really frustrated with Windows 11 not wanting to install the pending update it keeps reminding me I need to install. Evidently this particular cumulative update is problematic (v. 24H2 – KB5060829) given the proliferation of YouTube video ‘fixes’ that abound (which haven’t fixed anything).
How about Microsoft pushes an update instead? Nope. It’s the user’s burden. I hate Windows. Unfortunately it’s whats running my wife’s laptop and I need to keep that machine updated and secure (as I type this on my Linux system.)

Michael Brecker Band – Full Concert – 08/16/87 – Newport Jazz Festival

• Michael Brecker: sax and ewi
• Joey Calderazzo: piano
• Jeff Andrews: bass
• Adam Nusbaum: drums

Watch here —> youtu.be/VMb3PX9gq78?feature=s

Notable observations: Calderazzo wearing the fashionable painter’s cap and a pink polo shirt, Nusbaum chewing gum AND playing the drums at the same time, Brecker sporting what appears to be a Casio Data-bank watch and playing an early-ish prototype of his EWI (electronic wind instrument ) and overall, an AMAZING band kicking ass.
