Headed to Europe for a couple weeks…hopefully this will hold me. Also check out new release today from Euiju Cheong, aka JazzJane on YT. It’s really nice while reading. youtube.com/post/UgkxBG8... #BookSky #JazzSky

New Read. Since I’m halfway thru Taiwan Travelogue, this just showed up in my 6 weeks of mail. Someone scribbled in it. Listening to concert video from the show we went to Tues. New Trio Project was Awesome! youtu.be/7Yye4RedmFI?... #Booksky #JazzSky

New Outside the house read. Going to learn a little bit of history and about Taiwan, at least that’s the plan. Listening to “Spiral” by Hiromi #BookSky

New “outside” the house read. Listening to the album “Brain” by Hiromi #BookSky

I really enjoyed The Tigers Wife, so happy to see this on the shelf. Mocha w/ 2-2-1 cinnamon-nutmeg-cayenne. You can thank me later. #BookSky #MexMocha

When you have a $5 coupon burning a hole in your pocket… #BookSky

Enjoy books about a region I lived in for over a decade. Also a touch of history and an ongoing story… #BookSky

Next read—one more week off + a 4 hr flight, so I think I can get it done. A glimpse into a possible future…let’s check it out. #BookSky

Late posting this one. Essential American history and an adventure of a young nation. It’s well-researched and tells the story of Lewis & Clark and Corps of Discovery…well, not going to spoil the ending ;) #Booksky

Another new read. It has a piano in it, so it has to be awesome. Listening to Ezra Collective: Dance, No One’s Watching. #BookSky #Jazz

A new read for the bedside table. Listening to album “Water Diamond” by Euiju Cheong while reading. #BookSky #Jazz

Traveling and left my current read in the hotel room…had to buy a substitute. I’ve read the first two and they have been very good. Trilogys are not a bad thing. :) #BookSky #Trilogy

New read and some soft jazz for background music. #BookSky youtube.com/watch?v=-DOD...

#3 in the Trilogy. Hoping for a happy ending. : #BookSky

When I bought this I didn’t realize it was based on Fountain City Coffee in my home town—I remember when portraits decorated the walls. Very good coffee too ;) #Booksky

Hiromi’s Sonicwonder at the Wortham Center in Houston was amazing…AGAIN! Completely different set list than last week in Arizona. #JAZZ #HIROMI

Something very nice to listen to while you go about your day <sips his coffee, picks up his book> #BookSky #Spring #JazzSky youtube.com/watch?v=vO3J...

Weekend trip to Arizona with #1 daughter. Musical Instrument Museum was phenomenal…3 hrs not enough. And Hiromi’s Sonicwonder—4 off-the chart musicians. Hiromi is a joyous monster of the piano.

Slowly converting my kids inheritance from cash to books. #BookSky

Book 4 of the trilogy I thought I finished a few yrs ago. A nice surprise. #BookSky

Some beautiful classical jazz duet from a YT favorite. Great background music to get you thru your day. Enjoy. #Jazz #piano #bass youtube.com/watch?v=exSw...

Happy World Piano Day #worldpianoday #piano #jazz youtu.be/XaNk19CQfto?...

Yes, let’s start a 1500p Fantasy Trilogy. I’ve enjoyed her most recent works. #BookSky

Been on my list to read for many years. Seems like the time is right. (Haven’t seen the series, either) #BookSky

Next up, the last SciFi in my TBR pile…at least til I get back from Panama. #BookSky

If NBC can filter out the noise of Booing; surely they can filter out annoying drone noise. #NBCSPORTS #milanocortina2026

Didn’t get much reading done while on vacation, but finished “Ocean’s Godori”somewhere just south of Greenland-I’ll be seeking the sequel. Got this back from #1 daughter…Groundhog Day Murder Mystery. #BookSky

Continuing my Sci-fi streak. Found this at a local independent bookshop, Columbus Unbound. Let’s see what things are like for Korea in the future… #BookSky #Korea

Follow up to Mickey 7 last month. Back to Niflheim! #BookSky

A really good early American (19th Century) Adventure…5 thumbs up! Next! #Booksky

@minakimes.bsky.social Was your house ever used for a Christmas Movie (Parents house in A Date by Christmas Eve)?

Is it January 3 already? This year is flying by!

Met my 2025 goal of 30 books; a hair under 10k pages. #BookSky

New bedtime read…this one is going to take awhile. #BookSky

New road read…time to check it out. #BookSky

Pretty sure “Authentications” is the longest word I’ve ever written.

Special teams…really??? #Falcons #RiseUp

New road read. Sci-fi excites this guy :) Washington Black, by Esi Edugyan was very good on many levels and I highly recommend. #BookSky

This ain’t soccer Packers; you can use your hands (arms) to tackle. #Packers #NFL

New Road Read…looks like we are going in an adventure #BookSky

Falcons have TDs on 11 straight trips to the Redzone…obviously not a winning formula. #RiseUp #Falcons

Out of the house read this week. #BookSky

Current bedtime read…fast start and pretty good so far. #BookSky

My yearly check-in on my old goat pasture and my old apartment in Dubai (4th building from the right) #DPWORLDTOUR

@okcthunder.bsky.social #THUNDERUP Had a great time in the ATL last night

@minakimes.bsky.social Is there something worse than a ‘woof’? A Falcons fan wants to know. #Falcons #RiseUp not
