I am here - life - to learn and share as much as possible.
I'm not interested in monetizing or "branding" myself on SM. As John Lydon once said (paraphrasing), "You can't make me. I AM me."
Polymath-ish. Often busy.

Good memory.
First opera my wife and I performed in together (Verdi's "Otello").
2007.
We got married a year later.
Hard to believe one year from now we will have been together 20 years. Wow!

An evening out with the missus.
Christmas time is especially busy for us as a family, including that her and I are both active professional singers with gigs all around town.
So, to stop and enjoy each other's company and a refreshment is always appreciated.

Wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas regardless of your background.
And find some space to give and receive grace. We all could use it especially this year.

Releasing 100 pages totally blacked out is a fuck you from the DOJ and a huge admission of a cover up.

TFW you order gifts from Amazon and found you had a sizeable amount of credit leftover from a previously acquired gift card that you'd forgotten about!

13 and me made our annual Christmas visit to see the reindeer and the other terrific critters out at our favorite country zoo.
Been coming for a decade.
Nice ride through the country from the west suburbs to get there too.

One again, just another level added into the filthy pretender currently occupying our White House.
May he exit the premises none too soon.
Absolutely fucking disgusting.

Spent the final day and evening last night in the company of my brother-in-law. Prepping my Mom's old house for sale, we discussed many things, some funny, thoughtful and uncomfortable.
The underrated activity of savoring a cigar and a good beer with the ones you love.
Goodbye, Paradise Point.

Sitting at a jam-packed Fort Myers airport awaiting likely my last flight home from FL for a while.
While I still enjoy aspects of it, this state has exploded in population in recent years, not to mention how expensive it has become.
Not anxious to return anytime soon.

While exploring The Everglades yesterday, I drove past a new, government-issued signpost off Rte 41 denoting a nearby site: Alligator Alcatraz.
Chills.
I pray that sign ends up like this one someday.

At age 100, Dick Van Dyke was born closer to the death of Thomas Jefferson (1826) than he was to the present day.

Thinking of widow/widowers, especially those entering their first Christmas absent their spouse.
My 20th anniversary of that in my life from my first wife will be next year.
You, like me, probably won't feel like celebrating. Do what you gotta do to get through it.
And you will.
