Inspiration from Ray Bradbury

She wanted to get at the hate of them all, to pry at it and work at it, until she found a little chink, and then pull out a pebble or a stone or a brick and then a part of the wall, and, once started, the whole edifice might roar down and be done away with.  It was teetering now.  But which was the keystone, and how to get at it?  How to touch them and get a thing started in all of them to make a ruin of their hate.

-Ray Bradbury – “Illustrated Man”

If

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating

-Rudyard Kipling  If

Things that Are Great

Sometimes in life we take things for granted, even though we should stop and appreciate just how great they really are.  I submit that these two play-by-play announcers are in that category.  Intelligent, fun, interesting, excellent.

Worthy Tracks - Santogold

The Keepers

With the recent uprising of the youth in this country, it feels like the right time for this song. May they keep on keeping on, to heck with all the BS politicians have been spouting on behalf of the laughably idiotic NRA. 

Worthy Tracks - Judah and the Lion

Going to Mars - excellent stuff:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgUuZJlQoxE


Took my 13 year old to see 21 Pilots last year (yes I'm too old to like them but I had a blast anyway, worth every penny, GREAT show!).

So anyway, this concert was special.  And the opening band Judah and the Lion caught my ear for sure.  these guys are fun and incredibly talented.  I'm betting they are very worthy on this concert tour go-around as well.
 

Where Lebron goes, so goes the NBA

Adventures in Whiskey: Alberta Rye Dark Batch

Worthy.  No idea why but I think Rum/Bourbon when I have a glass.  So nice.  add one or two ice cubes....perfect.
