Unable to convey the large, dense crowd in a single photo, but enjoy the dinosaurs in front of the Ben Tillman statue. Largest crowd so far, lots of clergy in collars and even golf dudes. Columbia, SC. #NoKings

Lord Huron put on a solid show at the High Water Festival last night. (Also enjoyed Mt. Joy and Amos Lee.) Heading back for more bands today, then back to the doomscroll life or maybe I’ll figure out how to really use my phone camera.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters of the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? (Liking my rescue changes.)

Marked the end of the year with my daughter over a fabulous meal in Panama City. Tomorrow will be a gap day of airports and planes. Then it’s time to face up to 2025. Let’s be brave.
