Glad to finally see her live — and what a show too:

a great voice live, great choreography/dancing, lights show, in an intimate venue known for its historical significance in the Parisian cultural scene!

Wife came with me on the daily run today, for the first 2k :)

A map displays a running route, with details indicating a 5.69 km lunch run completed in 37 minutes and 47 seconds at a pace of 6:38 per kilometer.A serene riverside walkway is flanked by a large industrial building on the left and trees with autumn foliage on the right, under a partly cloudy sky.A graffiti-covered bridge spans over a canal, with various colorful tags and designs visible on the concrete surfaces.

Stopped today’s run at 5k: between the recovery from leg injury + being under the weather this past weekend, having just eaten lunch, and the windy weather, I’d rather hit my weekly goal by pushing later this week than pushing too hard today.

A tranquil riverside path lined with autumn trees stretches under a mostly cloudy sky, displaying the details of an afternoon run.

Wasting an hour commuting on the beltway to a work event today and OH MY GOSH I’m so relieved I don’t have to do this every day. The type of thing that’ll make a person go insane and shrink their life expectancy.

Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of D’Angelo!

There’s rarely been such an influential artist who’s been as influential as he was reclusive especially with 3 albums over 20 years. (Maybe Jeff Buckley comes to mind…)
