Out for a lunchtime walk for the first time in ages. Listening to this great version of The Moldau. I have a soft spot for this melody: it was one of my son’s favorites when he was an infant. youtu.be/fiOGCwZGgXY?... #ClassicalMusic

I read this for a reading group. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but I ended up loving it. This is the first in a tetralogy (or in this case, a quartet). Has anyone read all four books? How are they? #BookSky 📚

I don’t write book reviews very often, but I decided to write one for the newest Haruki Murakami book. (I tried to avoid spoilers.) TL; DR: I enjoyed it, but only in the same way I enjoy blueberry muffins. #BookSky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Christopher Iacono's review of The City and Its Uncertain Walls

I’ll be honest: I never cared for “There She Goes” by The La’s, and I’ve never heard any of their other songs. But wow! Their story is really interesting. And based on the clips I heard in this video, their demos sound really cool. youtu.be/LEGCUiDpeXM?... #MusicSky #BritPop

Another Skylight test. I can’t remember when I took this video (maybe 2017 or 2018). My family and I used to enjoy watching Captain Phasma and stormtroopers march through Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. Sadly, the park no longer has this.

Congrats, Abhishek! Wonderful piece. Really loved this: Winta didn’t pray. She had replaced her prayers with rehearsals. Winta didn’t just surface from behind me in the queue. She rose. Like a sun. Like a whale from the sea. Like a green shoot through the grandpa rock.
