reflecting on various topics
I was going through files from my college laptop and I found this video from 2010. It was in my choir class at Pepperdine with Milton Pullen, and us music education majors were taking turns practicing conducting our own choir. (The piece is “Amor de mi Alma,” by Z. Randall Stroope). It’s really moving to …
this morning in a tweet: when you’re so hungry that the sweet coating of your advil feels like a major food group at from yesterday: at keeping watch I see a bird on the top of our neighbor’s chimney a perfect silhouette against the sky I wonder if it can see the ocean, and what …
I went for a walk today. I tried to notice things. Tried to be present. I loved all the shades in the trunk of this eucalyptus tree. something about it really got to me Hope you’re ok. ♥️
Ice cream is always good. Except when it gets freezer burn, then it isn’t good. I remember getting something at Baskin Robbins years ago that I loved. I think it was “Gold Medal Ribbon?” Something like that. It had chocolate and it had caramel swirls in it. It was my favorite. I like strawberry ice …

(sidenote, it is very difficult to photograph a can of crushed tomatoes!): —– No one else is really writing about this, so I guess it’s up to me. Crushed tomatoes are a marvelous invention. Canning is, really. I mean. What if all you could ever eat were fresh tomatoes, and when they were out of …
(pic from january) just felt like it was time I wrote about this. k. So overall, I would consider myself a big fan of sunsets. They typically are always a good thing. An excellent track record, that every time there is a sunset, it manages to be special, if we take the time to notice …
I’ve been listening to Millenium (Backstreet Boys) lately. It’s my go-to comfort music at the moment. It transports me, every time I listen to it.
