I have to say, the commentary on this card is just unbelievably parochial, as if they were clueless how big baseball is in Japan. Written by some dumb-ass American.

There’s a huge Titian over the altar in that church, but Donatello’s St John blew my mind.

Be sure to go see: “Saint John the Baptist …painted wood statue by Donatello. …in the Frari Church in Campo del Friari in the San Polo district of Venice” One of the greatest works of art I have ever seen.

U r so much fn fun!

Shostakovich program at Boston Symphony Hall, Violin Concerto No 1 and Symphony No. 8. A terrific concert. Andris Nelsons was fascinating to watch, grandiloquent, measured, precise, with an amazingly expressive left hand.

There’s a phrase for this: trust but verify

Time to watch #basketball and forget about #tariffs for a few hours

Still looks like Providence.

Ready to march! Hands Off! RI speaks!

And others say 160.

This card says Ichiro weighed 172. First I’ve noticed. Many of the cards I’ve looked at have said 170!

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses.
