It was!
And it included music by women— a gorgeous piece believed to be by Eleonora d’Este, and also one by the professional female musicians. I’d not known there were professional female musicians then.
Keeping my sanity with Piffaro, The Renaissance Band tonight.
There’s a whole set of Josquin among the delights.
“To the world, he was Dr. John M. Perkins, a voice for justice, reconciliation, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. … But to me, he was Daddy,” Elizabeth Perkins wrote on Facebook.
Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions.
If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.
I just read Paul Krugman’s transcript of his Substack interview with Phillips O’Brien. It’s even worse than I imagined, and I already knew it was very very very very bad.
To borrow from Jeremiah, why did God make me a historian? Even far outside my period/region, much is obvious.
It’s cold.
AccuWeather predicted a low of 39° F. It is currently 29°.
Argyll and I would like out gruntle back.
So sorry, Alyssa.
Hm. The stable genius’ hand-picked set of national security loyalists failed to “fully account for the potential consequences of what some officials have described as a worst-case scenario now facing the administration.”
Imagine.

Bad enough that he thought war would be fun.
Worse that he cannot learn to value humanity, even now.
Frozen stuff is clicking on my windshield. It was 82° yesterday, 69° overnight, and 62° when I got up this morning.
The crocuses that jumped out yesterday may be regretting their choice.
Crocuses have arrived!!!
Crocuses have arrived!!!
Early walk for Argyll and me today. Here are the Watchers by the Way, enjoying the sharp shadows of a March morning, and a blush of robins dancing in the trail grit before them.
I.e., not Somali. As opposed to the regime's depiction of Somalis as the source of most (all?) of the fraud.

What do you want to bet that Muslims were here before his ancestors got here.
Thank you for going. compressional oversight matters!
Ok. But why would I want to, after they canceled Kimmel to curry favor???
No spine = no interest from me.

Also, she kept marking things my papers wrong bc she heard things differently in her head than I did at home
First time in 3 months the weather has been fit for sitting (or any activity other than brisk movement) outdoors.
Argyll and I are rejoicing along with all of creation in our region!!!
Even if I was last to be vested and seated.
My personal achievement was not being the last to arrive.
But Obama’s tan suit

No flowers here yet, but the spring peepers came to life yesterday.
Since he's Cherokee, does he count as white?

You only have to look at the orange mo(b)(n)ster in the famous whites only house.
I missed Unique Names Day this year.
Strictly speaking, my name is not unique, but it is uncommon enough that neither I nor my cousins have ever found our name on any item in any gift or tourist shop.
