If anyone wonders about the variety of music we sing in my vocal group, this concert series we are doing an old hymn, Lord of the Rings, Jacob Collier & Brandi Carlisle, Rihanna, The Beatles, folk music, and a modern piece.
It's a smorgasbord of musical styles.
We're known for variety.🎶

Definitely, but also I never could do anything with my left side. I couldn’t kick a soccer ball with my left foot, I struggled doing pirouettes to the left when I danced, got headaches on the left side of my head, etc
Definitely couldn’t write a word or use scissors or cut food with my left hand

I still think it’s funny that almost all of us have one hand that’s just like yeah I don’t really know how to do anything 🤷♂️

Month of Thanks Day 14: I am thankful for flowers!! I love all different flowers and the beauty they create in the landscape (and in the home in a vase)
I tend to notice them wherever I go.
Grateful for the color and fragrance they provide

You know how celebrities will recommend a product and if it’s affordable you buy it then you don’t think it’s all that great?
That’s happened on occasion
But in this case, Chelsea Handler was right:
Canada Dry Zero Sugar Ginger Ale Soda is pretty good
(And I don’t usually love diet soda)

There are certain elementary school teachers that stick with you and I am fortunate to remember a number of them (it helps I'm blessed with a good memory for people)
But Mrs Benz my 4th grade teacher was memorable because she was such a hippie. She had a lot of macrame plant holders in her class

in 3rd grade there was this teacher, Mr Freed, who would go off on these long tangents no 3rd grader could possibly follow about free trade and America’s rise as a global superpower, and lately I have had two thoughts
1) Mr Freed knew this shit about tariffs in 1993
2) wtf was up with Mr Freed

Well I managed to do some house cleaning so I'm pleased to report I can move my back again.
Not without pain, but I can move. I think the hot shower helped and sitting all day with a Shiatsu massager working on those muscles

is there a Reese's version where it contains pieces of smaller Reese's peanut butter cups? Because that is what we actually need invented. I know they have one with Reese's pieces but I'm talking Reese's big cup with smaller pieces of cut up Reese's inside.

These men traded these young women like playing cards.
They all need to be convicted in court.

Remarkable story by @ejnicholson.bsky.social about 3 nuns sent to a nursing home against their will and how they made a getaway. Their supporters include a granddaughter of Maria von Trapp and former students, one of whom says they “they deserve agency and dignity in old age.” As do all our elders -
Octogenarian Sisters Rita, Regina and Bernadette went back to their old convent with local support, and an Instagram following. "People are calling us the rebellious sisters!" Rita says.

Y'all, we've been keeping all our donated pumpkins on the outside of the beer garden so that Jeremy wouldn't OD. We miscalculated a smidge.
