I don't update my socials often. But here's a picture of me Conducting from back in July.

Found this sweet boy hanging around our house. He's uneutered, and was kinda beat up. We've been feeding him for a few days and he's always starving, so today I scooped him up and brought him inside. If he has a chip, we'll get him back to his owners, but otherwise we're keeping him.

I finally replaced the band on my old Casio G-Shock Atomic... This thing is solar powered, radio synced, and will be running long after I'm gone.

Wiggles is starting a new career as an air filter.

It's arguably an abhorrent habit, but I find solace in a Foundation "The Tabernacle" cigar, a cold Stella Artois, and a good book.

Through great introspection and deep meditative consideration, I have determined that I am a major brand of wristwatch.

I am unabashedly a man of fundamentally simple tastes.

I know it should be old hat to me by now, but it is always cool seeing your name in lights as it were.

Smoking out of a roof hatch is perhaps the most winter in NYC vibe I've ever seen.

Not bad for a fully mobile office setup. 😁

As the owner of an account which is largely followed by bots, I enjoy the simulacrum experience of conversing with the void in real time.

For last night's concert with Clarum Sonum, we rented a Portative organ to play in the orchestra for our Renaissance and Baroque pieces. They are very fussy, and require tuning after being moved or encountering a significant temperature change. So in I went with gloves and a wooden ruler to tune it.

As I age, I am beginning to find Dilbert comics more relatable. This coffee mug was forgotten in my office, and I have commandeered it. If I think on that too deeply I grow concerned for my long term mental health...

Visiting the cabin in West Virginia, with the rest of the family out to see Wicked while I palaver with Don Giovanni, the nip of mountain air, the warmth of rye, and the faint wisp of pipe smoke...

Plenty of things to be thankful for, if you only take the time to notice.

Did I stay up way too late to watch Max Verstappen secure his fourth F1 Driver's Championship? Yes.
Did I need to sleep instead? Yes.
Will I be subsisting entirely on caffeine today through about 7 hours of rehearsal? Also yes.
Will I regret this later? No, no I will not... #F1 #MaxVerstappen

Today I was very clearly reading and making markings in a full score of Mozart's "Don Giovanni", and was interrupted 27 times in the span of 15 minutes, by humans who claim to possess social acuity.

I may finally understand this photograph of Peter Warlock, and thus begins my descent into madness.

Just add him to one of the lovely block lists!

As I looked out over the Meadowlands from the Ferris Wheel at The American Dream Mall and contemplated the wildfire smoke that could be seen on all sides, I comforted myself by remembering the decay is an extant form of life, and funghi care not for the politics of the day.
