Do kids today know how to self-talk and soothe their fears that none of this (*gestures around self*) matters in the Grand Scheme of Things? I just uncovered my blogs from 2000 and YIKES time is a bullet train with zero stops. This post = self soothing obvs

Just gorgeous. Death Valley stands out as one of the most memorable landscapes I've ever witnessed. Would love to be there right now.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Death Valley, the hottest and driest place in North America, is experiencing a rare wildflower bloom after receiving a record amount of rain in the fall. Visitors are flocking to see the superbloom that has transformed the desert, dotting the landscape with pops of color. nyti.ms/4cLvINC

On my tombstone: I read about the band Geese in an old New Yorker and now I really dig their music.

The New Yorker@newyorker.com

The latest album from the indie-rock group Geese, “Getting Killed,” “is such a raw and unprotected art work,” Amanda Petrusich writes. The band’s front man, Cameron Winter, “is obviously someone who feels unusually deeply.” newyorkermag.visitlink.me/JLo8y7

newyorkermag.visitlink.meWill Geese Redeem Noisy, Lawless Rock and Roll?Critics love to make these kinds of breathless pronouncements. But with this band, currently on tour to promote its album “Getting Killed,” controlled hysteria is sort of the point.
