I just finished listening to the 50 songs that my partner Chad 🧔🏼‍♂️ crafted over a little more than a year now.

I provided him my top 10 picks for the Final Cut that’ll be part of the 12 track project that is his new album: “Digital Masquerade” 🎭

So proud of him 🥹!!!

Release date coming soon 🎧💿💜✨

Some more from our lil excursion to the local park this morning. We spotted a big Crane 🦢 just chilling there in the creek. So majestic & serene ✨

Started watching a new docu-series on #PaulSimon tonight. Made me remember the book 📖 Chad bought at an old bookstore, which was by his old apartment in Minneapolis, when we first were dating. I went & pulled it out. Paul sure was a handsome guy when he was younger. Reading 👀 lyrics & daydreaming.

Here's my review of #WickedForGood which is a strong adaptation of Act 2 of the Broadway musical. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande continue to soar in these roles - youtu.be/6W9lCelnsqw?...
