Still running as full-time carer for wife Deborah (terminal lung cancer) with the occasional scare but the use-by date is "indefinite", immunotherapy is pushing back, general health is improving, and I don't look too far ahead. Since last FAWM, have had yet more amazing travel adventures involving sea-otters, grey whales, alligators and Amtrak.
Plans for this FAWM: there's serious masonry work during the day and FAWM at night, I trust. Also, having helped another get her amazing 1994 book/artwork/songs epic back in motion again, FAWM 2008--the Global Warming Musical--is being cleaned up for re-shopping. I have one school interested already.!
I'm still going to be more limited than in previous years, but should be better than the nightmare of early 2024!

Happy FAWMing Tim!
Hey man! Happy FAWMing! Peace.
Hi Tim. Looking forward to hearing some new music from you. I loved the ocean voyage series. Ill be working on a lyric for you.
Hi Tim. Music at night sounds truly familiar πΆ
Hi Tim. Have a great FAWM πΆπ΅β¨οΈ
Backups! Yes, yes, I know, I tend to get lazy, but need to start doing them MORE often! I have a stack of USB drives. Didn't expect a 1T SSD to fail in a few months!
Happy FAWMing, Tim!
Good to see you again. Doesn't quite feel like FAWM without you.
Good to see you back and glad to hear that Deborah's illness has been kept at bay and that the two of you have been able to enjoy some exciting travels this past year. Happy FAWMing!
Back at it eh? Good to see you back again.
Heya Tim, glad to see you back here :) Happy FAWM!
Thank you Tim for keeping everything running smoothly and creating a safe, welcoming FAWM for everyone! Say π to Deborah from me. Hope to hear some FT or TF tunes this year.
I've always enjoyed your musings & music, Tim! Happy FAWM 2025!
So glad to see you're hear and that you are managing all the different challenges of life!
Happy FAWM 2025!
