HERMIT RULE 11:
Live one day at a time. Take advantage of the moments and the dawns. Discover in each moment, in landscapes, in music and in all manifestations of beauty, the depth of your true interior solitude.

If X is like WWE wrestling,
Bluesky is more like Olympic curling.

The new Jeff Tweedy album is so good! So much good music in one place!

Close. It was actually the game in which Lenny Dykstra hit the walk off home run in the ninth inning with Wally Bachman on base.

I have saved my old ticket stub for the greatest postseason game I ever attended. Feel free to respond if you remember what happened. #Mets #lgm

And I think every Mets fan I know instantly recoils and shrinks when they hear the voices of Ravech, Cone, and Perez.

Did Vanilla Fudge actually have any popularity in the UK? They strike me as a band that would’ve had a big appeal in the states, but perhaps not in the UK.

Can states and local municipalities pass laws outlawing the wearing of masks by federal government and law enforcement agencies?

The season ended fully in character for how they played for most of the year. #mets

McNeil’s at bat was non-competitive.

It would be profoundly ironic and strange if the Mets won their first game of the year, heading into the ninth inning, not in the lead.

But the reality is that this team, up until the last moment of the season, remains really tough to watch and to like.

We fans have deserved better. #lgm #mets

I am just not ready for this season to end, as much as this team has been uninspiring. Maybe a little unexpected magic saved for the last two innings.🀞

I have started listening. It sounds great! A bit of a return to Carolina Confessions, though I love the R&B meets Allman-influenced southern rock of the MKB’s first two albums too.

Great track! I love that he’s back with the MKB.
