Good morning!

* Today’s song wasn’t intended by the late songwriter Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) to be about this topic, but art is universal and it touched me deeply, so I’d like to send it out to everyone who is either enduring cancer and everything that goes with it or loves someone who is…

Sometimes I get so sad
Sometimes you just make me mad

It’s a sad and beautiful world
It’s a sad and beautiful world

Sometimes I just won’t go
Sometimes I just won’t say ‘no’

It’s a sad and beautiful world
It’s a sad and beautiful world

Sometimes days go speeding past
Sometimes this one seems like the last

It’s a sad and beautiful world
It’s a sad and beautiful world

Ms. Staples will be at the Chicago Theatre in January.

* How’s your life?

I could complain, but I really have no right.

Admittedly having an incredibly rough time feeling hopeful with everything going on. I have friends who have been deported and my trans friends and family are constantly terrified and my grocery budget increasingly can’t keep up. Wish the world felt sad and beautiful more often instead of just sad.

Great song.

= so I’d like to send it out to everyone who is either enduring cancer and everything that goes with it or loves someone=

Put me in the “loves somebody who is” category. It isn’t going well and I am trying to keep it together.

Thanks brother.

It’ll be pretty good around 3pm on Saturday when Illinois beats Ohio State.

I looked at her tour. She’s at the Ryman in January.

Sometimes it’s lonely at 40,000 ft, but the view and the sunshine are great.

Prayers for all who are hurting, and hopes that they may also enjoy a good view and a warm ray of sun for a few minutes today.
