Immensely enjoyed Wayne State’s Jazz Big Band concert tonight. (My nephew is in there playing trumpet.) I spent the whole evening with a smile on my face and my foot tapping.

💿Few things bring as much joy as rescuing musical treasures from the thrift store and adding them to my collection. My daughter, who has never known life without internet, views my CD ripping like I’m a doomsday prepper.

🌶️ Homemade chili crisp ended up being easy to make, has none of the sugar they add to the commercial stuff, and is way, way less expensive.

Love isn’t a fairy godmother.

It doesn’t swoop in to change what you want changed, but it helps you to be a little more patient and kind through the things you wish you could change.

Enjoying some Caturday while I rip some thrifted CD’s into my computer like an old man.
