Sunday night on the pedestrian strip between the river and the highway.
There were a lot of trips this year! I forgot to post pictures! Happy New Year from Yacatan!
Christmas in Merida. New Years in Akumal.

Year in Review 2025 part 2
JULY: Watering watering water. It was so hot and it never rained until July 25 when it rained like a monsoon scene. We finally moved our goldfish into their outdoor pond. As the deadline for my Gun Violence Memorials map approached, I rethought it as a data aggregation project. I explored the Gun Violence Archive and other databases of peculiarly American violence.
Gun Violence Archive (GVA) is a not for profit corporation formed in 2013 to provide free online public access to accurate information about
AUGUST: Family and music and books and grantwriting. My nephew got married and we all road tripped to the wedding. Later we spent a week in Nova Scotia. My daughter and her aunts visited the Acadian Musuem and found records of their first ancestor to arrive on Turtle Island. Fantastic concerts. TOPOS music festival at EMPAC, Jon Batiste at SPAC and more. Sudden jump back into grantwriting as New York State thankfully replaced some funds that the Feds had eliminated, but the deadlines were fierce. Siddhartha visited.
Join us for TOPOS in the historic city of Troy for unforgettable musical experimentalism charged with late-summer discoveries, celebrations,
SEPTEMBER: New gardens. Working for peace. Hard work and the best Sundays of the year. The Compass Roses exhibit opened at Opalka Gallery. The maps of Albany were all so different and refreshing. I led a walking tour of our neighborhood to accompany Karley Sullivan's map. I joined the beginning of Taina Asili's Fever Pitch pilgrimage.
OCTOBER: Re-weaving my life with old friends & new friends. One non-stop weekend with Ragas Live Festival and Vera List Forum smoking lots of weed and talking and listening with my best old friends, forgotten old friends, an exquisite new baby, and one new dear friend. More new babies arriving in Albany. Decades of movement people and old friends gathering at the Grafton Peace Pagoda anniversary celebration. A cohort of new friends and movement people walking the Landback Pilgrimage from Muhicannituck to Housatonic to stupa, learning from Shawn Stevens from Red Road Reclamation.
The only way in my mind to get things to change is by working with the community — one on one, one on one, one on one — to create a sense of
NOVEMBER: Home and family and movement. Peace Action Annual Gathering honored Mark Mishler and the with our 2nd "Pat Beetle Award" it is now a real thing; however our annual gathering was still a very white-haired affair. My family decided we would NOT try to move to Montreal (my wife's hometown) after thinking about it obsessively for much of the year. Instead of uprooting our lives, I unprooted the sedimentary spill of home improvement (storage, hardware, tools, building materials, assorted junk) at the bottom of our staircase to make room for N.'s goldfish to move inside for winter. A neighbor gave us a 75 gallon tank, Alex built legs for a discarded desktop. N. scaped the big tank with sand and river stones and I did my best to plant it with some goldfish-proof plants. I discovered the magic of grow-lights in northern winters. We moved the fish inside just before we left for Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving.
Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine,First, we hear about Governor Hochul’s reversal on permitting a cryptocurrency fossil fuel plant in Sen
DECEMBER: Grants, letters, vacation. Good news from Empire State Development for Digital Equity. Hosted a "Letter Writing Party" with my Peace Action chapter and I think small gatherings are maybe the better way to build intergenerational movements. May you have a year full of small gatherings full of meaning and impact. We came to Yucatan for a 3 sisters reunion. At midnight, we said farewell to the old year and threw rocks into the sea.
Just before midnight, we wrote our gratitudes, wishes, and farewells onto rocks. Walked to the beach. Threw them in the Caribbean. The water

Just before midnight, we wrote our gratitudes, wishes, and farewells onto rocks. Walked to the beach. Threw them in the Caribbean. The water was warm and Stephanie said "hold my shirt" before leaping into the waters. Happy New Year

Year in Review 2025 - part 1
The major themes of 2025 were death, goldfish and priorities. The first few months of the year were marked by many deaths - three above all - a beloved artist friend & mentor in January, the new brother-in-law in our tangled extended family in February, and the "mayor" of my street in April. Overlaid upon the general uncertainty of American life this year, I alternated between feeling lost and feeling a need to cultivate hospitality. I took solace in watching my daughter's goldfish swim. Providing ever larger homes for them became a part-time job this year, pushing to the side other projects which I didn't have the mental capacity for this year. The sound of splashing water soothed me and my block. I met a new cast of creatures - humans, insects, and birds - as I dug a pond for her goldfish and worked to keep water flowing through its filter and bog.
Here is a month by month for January through June.
JANUARY: The month of JAN. Long live Jan Galligan - 75Grand. Chris Funkhauser interviewed me for WGXC. LA on fire on TV, while a climate denier moved back into the White House. I started hosting my monthly "Sunday Langar."
FEBRUARY: I went to Grafton for a writing retreat. On the last night, my young brother in law died. There was an ice storm but my wife wanted me to get home so we could get to her sister. After digging my car out, I went off the road twice on the way home, saved by strangers. For February's langar, we read "The Metaphysics of Self-Immolation." We fled to New York to escape our mourning to celebrate the opening of CAMP's installation. Watch their videos at pad.ma
Pad.ma is an online archive of densely text-annotated video material, primarily footage and not finished films. The entire collection is sea
MARCH: Spring but with funerals. I wrote grants while uncertain if the Feds will pull the funds. I started a garden hoping that my daughter and I would restore a goldfish tank. Work was very busy with requests to decode tariffs and shifting regulations. I stared at goldfish in my free time to stop from reading the newspapers, while listening to audiobooks about technology - AI, Palantir, crypto, etc. Did you find yourself watching fish more this year?
Although fish and other aquatic species are popular privately-kept pets, little is known about the effects of watching live fish on the perc
APRIL: The Mayor of Grand Street - Abdul Nur - left the world. After my 50th birthday at Beach 59 in summer 2024, I learned that Abdul came from Beach 59! We had made a plan to drive down to Rockaway together in June--now that would never happen. I dug in at home, finding a good rhythm at work with my cat sitting right next to my desk. I announced a one-year break from gardening in Gabi's Garden: after South End Earth Day, I turned my focus to the secret garden, my flower garden, and new ponds.
I met so many friends of Madeline at Bard CCS one day.
This exhibition presents works by Madeline Gins (1941–2014), an artist and writer whose practice tested the limits of human cognition and se
MAY: May was exceptionally pleasant. At work, our staff meeting gathered in Saratoga Springs. I rode through the park one morning tasting all of the springs and decided that Polaris is my favorite. The healing waters strengthened me to get home and plant flowers. The Radix Center provided aronias and vibernums for the native flower meadow in the Wilbur Woods. I learned more and more to read water, water plants, water animals. At the end of the month, one of my mother-in-laws lost her home in an avalanche. The government of Switzerland had said for a month that it might happen, but no one really thought it would happen. No one ever things such a thing can happen. All that is solid melts.
JUNE: Networking and sharing and connecting. I presented on "15 years of EMPAC publications" at the ARLIS Upstate conference. I went to Pittsburgh for the Special Library Association conference. This was a pivotal moment for SLA, which added tension; personally, it was my first conference in years with no poster or paper, which was so relaxing! There was a huge rainstorm on my birthday and no one showed up at my impromptu bday party which was in a garden. I sat by the fireplace inside the bar and phoned by brother, my favorite cousin, and some old friends for long and loving conversations.

Goldfish the saga part 2
The goldfish came back from foster care in May but N. and I werent able to seal up the 375G pond in the secret garden. I kept working on the network on 30G and 40G bins in the flower garden. The goldfish moved there in June and I turned it into a tropical plant paradise this summer. A trip to the beach in August turned high stress--the garden pond with my daughter's goldfish kept losing water! Our catsitters dad came every day and refilled their bin with 20G of rain water. I found the loose hose connection when I got home... but that was scary. And also that these little outdoor plastic bin ponds were small and risky. The three little goldfish moved to a neighbor's pond, and after another week of trying to clean out the 375G, we decided that my daughters goldfish would move inside for winter. A friend gave us an old 75G and we made room for it at the bottom of the stairs. I cleaned some big river stones from our community garden... My daughter used almost every one when she 'scaped the tank! I couldn't bring their sponge filter in until they moved, so I moved the media from the outdoor trickle filter into a mik jug... I learned about the difficulties of cold water cycling. Her fish were happy when they moved into the aquarium, but very slow the first 7 days as their bodies warmed up and their appetite returned.

Goldfish. 2025. The saga part 1..
January: Ns goldfish kept growing, soon outgrowing our 27G tank and destroying all the plants. What to do!? I wanted to get rid of them. She loves her goldfish. And I am a daddys girl dad. So her goldfish became my teachers and my albatross. I moved them into a 20 Long so I could replant and think. It was too small for them so I found a shrimp breeder on our local aqarium Facebook group who offered to foster them 2 months while I replanted... a neighbor with a pond got a ton of plants for her pond and we put them in the 20L and moved it into the sunshine. Somehow stupidly inpulsively we got three new little feeder goldfish one day because an albatross needs friends. I put them in pur 5G quarantine tank while working on the outdoorntanks in the garden. I brought forget me nots from a stream in Grafton, my first wild aquatic plants and a huge leap in my expanding consciousness of the blue earth. I also started a little 1G walstead jar. Dug several connected bins into my gardens for goldfish, flowing water, and plants. Oh and my big plant failure of the year -- tried sprouting American lotus and failed again and again. Nursery says it needs 87' watertemp to sprout. Ill try again next summer.
Passed this super cute veggie stand in Delmar on bike ride this morning.
I have always wanted to get starts from this stand and this year i finally did!
Sunday Troy Glow 10 Nov The Saturday portion was uploaded to the previous post from monday
Above... pics from my neighbor @3garcons from Troy Glow festival earlier this month.
And here are abfew from me!
- map of Troy in a River St window (downstairs from Harding Mazzotti)
- my daughter and the ice sculpture that, i think, was supposed to slowly melt all week from the energy of orojected light but quickly melted because its the 21st century and it was 70' in November in upstate NY
- that squiggle on the roof on 4th and Fulton.
I have a funny story about the squiggle. At the end of the night, my daughter and I were waiting for Stephanie to pick us up from 4th and Fulton. There was a couple obviously on a date obviously lost. I asked if they needed help. At first they said they were fine. Then like 30 seconds later they said "we are looking for the light art. It says there is something here."
I said "yes its right above you."
Dude made a face like "f*ck this smartass!" Miss looked down at my daughter who smiled and pointed up and then miss was just puzzled for a minute... as dude returned to his phone, as if somehow carressijg its glass with the right gestures would reveal the truth. Finally they both look aroubd and shake their head and ask "what do you mean its above us? Do we go inside?"
I showed them the picture of this squiggle. "This is on the roof of this building. You just have to cross the street to see it."
Sometimes, we are just too close to recognize what we are looking for.

Nikita Gale, Tempo Rubato. Photo from installation at Whitnet Biennial.
A Player piano but it doesnt hit the strings... we only hear the movement of keys. There are two benches in the room which conceal speakers and a subwoofer amplifying the sound of the keys and hammers.
Nikita Gale has proposed that “bodies are never entirely absent from what we refer to as technology." And that the player piano implies an absent player. That reads like something that's both patently obvious and not necessarily true. Tempo Rubato is a polite, whispered distillation of the musical performances by absent players like her "Private Dancer," in which robotic lights dance to the song of the same name by Tina Turner. Of course, the player piano does not need to make room for a human ghost. For example, the later compositions of Conrad Schnitzler play music that no human could play. They may evoke for some a body with 44 fingers, but for me evoked a ghost in the machine. I remembered hearing Conrad's work while sitting in the room with Gale's "Tempo Rubato." It was interesting how between my ears a sonic ghost manifested, as my mind assigned melodies to the match the rhythm of the moving keys.
Someday these will all go onto pallets... each month more books come and then we push off shipping for another month.
I forgot the picture of the Banana Trees

Beautiful trip today to @nybg and the LuEsther Mertz Library. I brought home some Kale seeds for fall and some empty envelopes to send them flower seeds for the seed library. And I got a library card!
There's an inspiring little community garden by the Botanic Garden train station where they have BANANA TREES!!!
Hanging out in 974.70049 with Jun-san.
