As seen in New York. Kind of says it all about this town. 😊

Political commentator Ben Rhodes summed up the situation: “In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with [Iran] demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents—including hundreds of children-dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.”

No Kings!! Anti-Trump march in New York City. No finer way to spend the afternoon. #nokings

We spent a few beautiful days in upstate New York at the Little Cat Lodge joined by our friends Mark and Al. Cathie skied, I held down the fort. 😊 ❄️

Easily one of the most creative cleverly, amazingly well done Broadway productions I’ve ever seen. Ever! So amazing in every respect. Concept, execution, musical score, performances. Perfect! Such a touching, poignant story.

Absolutely beautiful exhibit at the Arte Museum. Definitely check it out! #artemuseum

An absolutely beautiful song. A welcome respite from these insensitive, distressing times here in America right now. Earth, On a Good Day The Vernon Spring “Another day on plant earth And here’s some words for what’s it’s worth I think about you everyday Just how it was and what became You close your eyes And years go by You close your eyes And years go by You close your eyes and years go by The endless nights We’re we both cried The weeds grew thick And strangled love Now empty spaces We fill up (again) With words anew And actions thick With words anew And actions thick Let’s slow things down It’s all took quick This life This life This life Of ours It’s all too short The road to far... The road seems long But check the view The road seems long But check the view We change our minds New points of view I don’t know what, I’m seeking out But give me time I’Il work it out...(believe) Keep hope alive It’s-all-we-got... Keep hope alive It’s all we got... Keep lovers close Tie them in knots Keep friendships tight They need you near It’s fragile times For fragile minds... I fear Although the storm seems ever close Although the storm seems ever close It’s thoughts of you That heal the most I’m simply flawed Mistakes galore I know myself I’ll make some more (believe) Another day on planet earth Another day, another dawn We just clocked eyes Instant amore What’s wrong with me That was my chance Instead you leave I don’t, advance Stay for awhile... Stay for awhile Please, stay for awhile“ Written By: Eden Girma, Obaro Ejimiwe, Sam Beste
