  It's super late, but since my power was out for three hours, I'm feeling a little discombobulated. Must either sleep or work. Either way, I'm not sure it's going to be a great Monday. 👋

  #3goodthings I'm going to dig deep for 3 good things because I'm feeling unaccountably blue. 1. I wanted soba noodles and I didn't think I had any, but then I found some. 2. I had a video call with 3 old friends, and I learned a few new things about them. 3. Tom Jones came up in the conversation, and I promised to send them this link after the call was done. The first 30 sec of this video - David Crosby's face - invariably cracks me up. And it did once again. https://music.y...

  #TuneTuesday #JumpUpAndDown I love this song. It makes me happy, though they're saying, 'How does it feel when you got no food?' But it also says, 'The music make me jump and prance.' Pass the Dutchie - Musical Youth https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=s7-B-JXmhOs

  #JukeboxFridayNight #HotOrCold When I was thinking about the year 1994 earlier this week in response to another prompt, I thought of an episode involving this song and being snowbound for a day, maybe. Snowbound - Donald Fagen https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=96GCrZec5u8

  "Republican groups backing Collins have already spent or reserved over $112 million in ads, while Democrats have reserved only half that amount... Given Maine’s critical role in deciding control of the U.S. Senate next year, however, Democrats nationwide could flood the state with funds. For Democrats to flip the Senate, they must accomplish two goals: win competitive elections in... New Hampshire, Michigan, and Georgia and flip four states currently held by Republicans. Maine is the only...

  #CloseToOurHearts #JukeboxFridayNight On the record (tape), this song comes right after a song I was obsessed with (What About Love?), so I heard it a lot. It really grew on me. Coming Up Close - ’Til Tuesday Out in the distance I could hear some people laughing I felt my heart beat back a weekend's worth of sadness There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted We stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface We thought just for an instant we could see the future We tho...

  #JukeboxFridayNight #PowerPlay I've glimpsed a couple of other songs by this same name already on the list. I remembered that I had this record once upon a time.

  #LifeWellLived #JukeboxFridayNight Thinking about this prompt and putting together a list has been therapeutic for me. I decided to link to songs expressing gratitude for what one has been given in life and appreciation for its joys. (I happen to love all these songs.)

  The theme for #JukeboxFridayNight is #MusicMusiciansAndMashups — music about musicians or music itself. This is pretty remote, but it was the first thing that came to mind. Prob because I was thinking about David Crosby earlier. I'll think of something else tomorrow. "I have my ship And all her flags are a-flying She is all that I have left And music is her name" Southern Cross - Crosby, Stills & Nash https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IHL-6cUtZj0

  I got a laugh out of this. While searching for an old article in the NYT, I happened upon this completely unrelated article, which was very amusing. It was about China's efforts to make Beijing more presentable to foreigners in the lead-up to the Olympics. One part was about the hilariously incorrect English translations on signs and ads. "Until recently, the attention paid to the accuracy of the [English] translation was, at best, uneven. Consider that a local theme park about...

  I have redrafted an earlier post about an email problem; I've decided to archive a bunch of old emails, which should solve the problem. However, I'm still curious about one aspect of the problem: the mysterious timestamps. Here's the issue, if anyone has an idea of what this is about. I just added a Gmail account to my Thunderbird app via IMAP. This Gmail account has a handful of emails from 2007. At the time, those few specific emails had a timestamp of 1904. (?) Not t...
