Home With Sick Kids
Everyone under the weather, three sick kids home from summer camp on a week day; and so, unexpected change - up, mix up, adjust to the situ. Hydrate, biforcate, med-up, rest-up, get them back to even, get them back to camp. Recipe for that? Sleep in, jammies all day, comfort food, Kids Jam playlist, Bruno, …
Lyrics Post: “American Idiot”
I can’t believe it’s been nearly 20 years since this song, this album, came I tot the world. Somehow it seems more relevant and urgent today than 2004 when it came into the world. Listen up.

Tokyo 2020
Olympics, Delayed, Inspired, Creative, Ceremony, Music, Dance, Color, Competition, Good. GOOD.
In Between
I’m between good and bad most of the time; maybe we all are. The Devil and The Angel, each shoulder. Aren’t we all like that? If we’re honest, it must be so, must be human nature, In between sun-up and sundown, so much happens, so much, so uncertain, so unsure, then sure, sometimes, in between, …
Lyrics Post: “Numpty” Paulo Nutini
