The other day I recommended The American Prospect magazine, after which I thought I ought to pass along some other useful endorsements.
Like Southwest Cyberport, the internet service provider. I'm amazed at their service. SWCP is pleasant, problem-solving and - fanfare! - human, not recorded.
Then there is Edgewise, the host of this blog. Edgewise is really one Mark Justice Hinton, who has made my little venture into venting an unalloyed pleasure.
In the background I hear the strains of "Another Spring," a recent CD from Arlen Asher, the New Mexico master of the winds. (He plays every wind instrument, I think.)
It's a fine experience in jazz; I know because I play it a lot.
(You should know that it is jazz, not pop, but it stays with melody long enough to please my reactionary ears, ears deaf to what Bird wrought.)
You can find the CD at arlenasher.com.
Because I'm getting older (preferable to the alternative), health matters. And I have come to respect the knowledge of an old friend, Dr. Gwen Scott, an herbalist who has a doctorate in natural health.
(You may recognize the name from her column in Prime Time and you may have seen her on Channel 13 a few years ago.)
I was skeptical at first, but she's converted me. Gwen does consultations by phone (465-0279) and in person.
