Kendrick dropped a new song
The head childless cat lady has spoken. I'm sure people will can't win her or say she should've spoken sooner but she picked the exact best moment to do it. She hit Trump at his lowest point.
Another day, another 30th anniversary to celebrate for a 10 top album of mine: Grace by Jeff Buckley
Happy 30th Anniversary to an album that's definitely in my top 10: Dummy by Portishead
My older child drove herself and her younger sister to high school this morning for the first time. Each day I become more and more useless.
I have a newly minted and fully licensed 16 year old driver in the house. Now I have to try to find her a car in our budget that's safe for teens. It never ends.
Last week, Jack quit the band
Nothing quite like teaching your child how to parallel park and you're both sitting in the car parked on the curb watching a video to help her understand the process better and then you hear a crash which is your neighbor who just backed out of his driveway into your driver's side front panel. At least we're both fine and the damage is fixable. But what are the odds?
We fear change
24 years ago today, a beautiful young lady said yes to a hastily prepared, jumbled mess of a proposal on the cliffs of Mt. Bonnell overlooking the city where we first met. We were married on this day, one year later. Happy 23rd anniversary to my wonderful wife.
Mountain stage of the Tour de France has me really looking forward to my August trip to Denver with a day at Rocky Mountain National Park. Haven't been there since I was in junior high.
It's back! My daily multihour respite from the extreme heat of summer. I can dream of cooler climates like the French Alps. Opening in Florence was beautiful.
Trying to find the positives in every day when the news of the world is grim. Things, like today, the new Washed Out album came out so that's something positive to experience.
RIP Kinky Friedman. A staple of the Texas from my youth that I sorely miss.
Happy 30th Anniversary to one of my favorite albums of all time, Purple by Stone Temple Pilots. 30 years ago today I was fresh out of high school and just starting my time in Austin attending college. I walked down to Tower Records on the Drag and bought this album on CD. I spent the rest of the day driving around Austin getting to know my new city while listening. Maybe that's why this album still sticks with me.
The word of the day is gratitude. The kind you have when you haven't had power at your home since Tuesday and it finally comes back on. The kind you have for electric utility workers and tree clearing crews who have post-hurricane like conditions to clear out to bring your services back on. I would go bake them some cookies but we had to throw all our eggs and butter out. It did allow me to deep clean out our fridge.
Pet Sounds is 58 years old today. I know what I'll be listening to in just a little bit. The Beach Boys will always occupy a special place for me as that was my late father's favorite band.
30 years later and The Crow soundtrack is as good as ever. So old AF as I was a senior in high school when this and the movie came out. Brandon Lee was going to be a huge star. RIP. -
