- Annular eclipse. For those lucky enough to see it, it really was something. Not quite a total eclipse, of course, but something that still made you stop and wonder at the universe.
- Chuck Feeney. The obituary in the New York Times for Chuck Feeney, duty-free shopping businessman and philanthropist, did an odd thing to me: It made me cry. It’s shocking how rare a person like Chuck Feeney is in our world—a man who made a fortune and then, while still alive, gave it all away.
- The Federal-Colfax cloverleaf. I spent some time wondering about Denver’s traffic infrastructure.
- Ghosts. I’m not the biggest fan of seasonal decor…but hanging a couple of cheap “ghosts” in the trees in the front of our house has had the whole family giggling.
- Doug Paisley. The rare Spotify algorithm recommendation that I’ve been charmed by. Excited to read the lyrics of this purported Townes Van Zandt-ian Canadian.
- Hayes Carll. Is a genius. And I’ve missed listening to him the past few years. Missed an entire album!
- Pitchfork’s Grammy nominations. Pitchfork offered their more high-brow take on what the Grammys should nominate but won’t, and I spent more than a few hours getting lost in unfamiliar albums.
