This is The Peacock's Feather, a traditional Irish hornpipe. This arrangement is by Maire Ni Chathasaigh. (It could probably go a little faster, but I'll keep working on it.). 🇮🇪🤟

This morning I got to do the Denver 5K On The Runway, a 5k race on one of the runways at Denver International Airport. It was a fun experience, and I did pretty well - 26’ 30”. 🏃🏻‍♂️🤟🏻

Second 5K this year. This morning I ran the Denver Pride5K. (27’ 42” 😁). It was a little too warm for my taste, but otherwise a really nice run. 🏳️‍🌈🤟🏻

Gay #Pride was NOT born out of a need to celebrate being gay, but for the right to exist without persecution. Never forget our brothers & sisters around the world still being persecuted, imprisoned and murdered. The first #Pride was a riot @frankr0d.bsky.social @garythoren.bsky.social #Pride2026

First 5K of the year. This morning I ran the Colfax 5K, the kickoff for Colfax Marathon Weekend. Ran 27:27, or an 8:50/mile pace. Not too bad. 🏃🏻‍♂️🤟🏻

I love, love, love this book and the movie adaptation! Go see this movie in the theater. (It’s not streaming yet, and you really should see it on the big screen.). If you haven’t read it yet, go buy it, borrow it, read it! It’s a wonderful story and you don’t need to have read it first.

I got to go to the Colorado Ballet last night: S. Rachmaninoff by Yoshihisa Arai - music was the Piano Concerto No. 2, performed by David Korevaar; Concerto Barocco by George Balanchine - Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins; and The Rite of Spring by Glen Tetley - Stravinsky.

I was fortunate to spend Thanksgiving week on O’ahu. A gorgeous place, as you can imagine. Pearl Harbor has been a fascination for me for decades, so I am pleased I got to go there. 1) Diamond Head at sunset 2) Me going into Pearl Harbor 3) The USS Arizona Memorial

On Thanksgiving morning I was lucky enough to run the Honolulu Turkey Trot through Kapi’Olani Park. It definitely is easier to run at sea level than at altitude. 🏃🏻‍♂️🏝️🤟🏻

A concert on a school night? You bet! I love hearing Sharon Isbin perform. And the Calidore String Quartet played beautifully.

This morning I ran the Back to School 5K for Denver Public Schools. (I don’t know my time because I forgot to charge my Fitbit last night.). It was a beautiful morning, and a nice route around the lake in Berkeley Lake Park.

Ran the Denver 5K this morning. (27:36) Not too bad for an old guy. Nice route around Sloan’s Lake. The glass was part of the swag.

I got to see two of the Giants of the Sperrin in Omagh, Northern Ireland. The artist, Thomas Dambo, uses wood and recycled materials in his sculptures. The first is Nowanois - the Storytellers. You can judge the size based on my hand on the big toe. The second is Ceoldan - the Stargazer.

(Going to try this from my phone.). This tune is “Eleanor Plunkett” by Turlough O’Carolan. Looking through some old documents, I discovered my great-grandmother’s maiden name was Plunkett. I was inspired to learn this tune, which was arranged by Grainne Yeats.

Went to hear the Colorado Symphony last night. The Beethoven 7th is one of my favorites. I enjoyed the Hidas concerto, although the soloist needed to be mic’ed better. His sound often got swallowed up by the orchestra.
