Beautiful!

yeah, I pretty much download books to my iPad and that’s it. But that’s just me, I can’t speak for the older set…

That's cool!

Over the weekend I tuned in, more than once, to the YT channel, Richard McVeigh | Beauty In Sound. He played all the Hymns from a newly published Hymnal (741 hymns), on organ, for 28 straight hours with a few 10 minute breaks. It was broken into 3 live streams because apparently there's a 12-hour limit on single streams. It was pretty awesome. I like listening to the music of hymns, especially on organ. He did it as a fundraiser for his crowdfunding of a new semi-public music performance space. I especially enjoyed the overnight session, which ended up in the 2nd video. It was quiet, peaceful, and lovely. This is the 2nd video, the 1st and 3rd are easy to find. Link to video

why are people so quick to assume that that’s not a real photo? Just trying to keep an open mind here…

Food for thought. Nothing more. Link to video

It is great that people are using their power. Hope they continue to do that instead of feeling powerless.

I have synthetic cartilage in my big toe joint. Maybe that will become suitable for knees and hips.

Facebook report. I can't get used to the site. Not only that but it was sending me notifications every hour. I looked on YouTube for how to turn notifications off. I've turned off every notification category. I'll probably keep the app for a few months. I'm pretty sure I won't benefit from access to it after that and will remove it. I don't know why Zorba hated it so much. I never asked him. I myself think it's very strange. As a child of the '70's we were raised in a time when you kept all your personal information and especially information about your children private. I know a lot of people like FB. I'm old school though in appreciating the function of anonominity vis a vis internet communication (socks and all that). I don't feel like telling FB to **** off but I can't get used to the idea either.

I'll get the cite for you, jon. No problem. It was some Bizzaro legislation but it happened. Apologize for the delay. Very busy, high stress in my house. I'll focus on it.

@wtg Would you please tell us for people who aren't that familiar with Chicago (like myself) about the Old Town neighborhood?

@jon-nyc Because being judgemental is more fun?

I'm trying to stay away from political topics but this would be a fitting quote for him to engrave on his tombstone.
