Sell oil to maybe fund uranium enrichment? Thank you, Mr. Short-term-memory-loss.

He looks like something got caught in his throat.

A protest sign at the State Capitol building in Salt Lake City, Utah. These tariffs may raise the price of krill!

If you can't dodge DOGE, then RAM it!

Don't they realize that they're pissing off a lot of people with guns?

Art of the deal or no deal, or maybe a deal, or maybe not. In Trumpworld, the opposite of winning is whining.

Ash on the Streets of Zafferana Etnea A customized trance track representing the gritty volcanic ash from Mount Etna that regularly falls on a town below. We walked through its streets in 2022.

This, the third track for the "Compass Rose" project is a funky, jazzy, and rock-y 11-track romp. I was originally going to cut it at the 2 1/2 minute mark, but it kept on developing. The titles in the project include the names of various bucket list destinations.

You’re in great company. I haven’t heard Candice Agree since we lost the WQXR signal in Middletown, New Jersey on October 8, 2009 when a deal struck between The New York Times and Univision resulted in the classical station having to move to a much weaker frequency.

At this point, I would even vote for Trevor Rabin!

I have set WFMT as one of the buttons on my internet radio so I can quickly switch when Symphony Hall programs pieces that are cherished but overplayed. Case in point: how many times should one have to listen to Beethoven’s Ninth in one week?

If anyone would like to see the slide show of our recent New Zealand trip, I can share it via Dropbox. Just need your e-mail address. It is synchronized to music (some of it in Māori) with text and some videos. Running time: 66 minutes, in two parts.

Good luck! We will miss hearing your voice on Symphony Hall in the morning.

In the fourth grade, I had to wear glasses to correct astigmatism. I’ve now had cataract surgery in both eyes with replacement lenses that allow me to see distant objects perfectly. Stars are now pinpoints of light as they should be. I just need reading glasses for things up close.

I haven’t been crazy about most of the jigsaw puzzles being sold these days. It’s hard to find purely scenic art or photos that don’t look overdone. So I had a custom puzzle made from my own photo that I took in Switzerland. I knew it would be challenging, but it’s completed now.
