Yes. It was cold, so I had to go a little more dressed than I might have liked.

We had heavy cloud cover that day, so 98 percent of the LA crowd showed up wearing black.

Did I really need to buy a 72-inch fuchsia-fade Italian silk scarf for the "Mahler Grooves" festival in L.A.?

Yes. Yes, I did.

Yes! Hooray! Yee Hawww! It's great to see this recognition for such a hard-working group.

Good thing I stopped at the store this morning . . .

If a minute is too long for video (and I know that for some of you, it is):

Here's a short version of Die Fledermaus: 3 Ways.

If you know me from Twitter, you would probably guess that I've been wanting to try out the Star Wars Intro Generator for years. ⚔️

Here's my favorite dispensary mural, shot at the edge of the Mojave Desert, Riverside County, California, December 2019.
