I would like to see notes from the Gmail design meeting where they decided to plop a “mark as spam” toolbar item in prime real estate between the archive and trash toolbar items.
I just ran into Zara Larsson for the first time. My goodness, what pop music! Zara Larsson, Tove Lo, Robyn, and so on. The Swedes just don’t stop on the pop front, my goodness!
I accidentally transposed numbers in our PO Box when registering for informed delivery. It all went through. I now get daily emails about someone else’s mail. After a month USPS support replied with “change your address in your profile.” Appears you can sign up for other people’s address. Secure!
Honestly, if you’re a Floyd fan I recommend Brit Floyd. First time and the music and light show was all outstanding. Great Gig in the Sky was shivery, as it should be.
A smokey night at Brit Floyd.
Spent the morning listening to the Minnesota All-State bands, one including my daughter. As always the music was outstandingly rendered!
I wrote a blog about City Pop. Perhaps you’re curious?
Ooo, that’s concerning that Bear blog’s RSS is read as invalid by Micro.blog. @help ?
Barry: Amazon, please ship my two deodorants as slow as you want in order to save on boxes. Amazon: Here are your two deodorants sent in separate packages, one from Dallas and the other from Fort Worth. You’re welcome.
This is the week I learn to get myself to sleep at night. (Please!)
Into the Woods at the Guthrie.
Anyone know if reverse captcha is still a thing? (A hidden field that should always be empty, but the bots fill it, thus detecting the bots.) I’m assuming the bots are too smart for it now.
A sadly limited list of theaters showing Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX.
The downside of leaving for 17 days is it seems like some stuff just stops working without use. My truck is now leaking gas, and a TV seems to have a dying screen. Why?!
We’re home. And we’re ready to go back.

Airport transport arrives in an hour. One last sit in Seoul. Gwanghwamun Square.
Last full day of the trip. See my prior post for the great start to the day - seeing where our nephews spent the first months of their lives. 😭 Then K-pop dance classes and visiting various K-pop touch points. Eating Ttoekbokki and bulgogi. Finishing the night at Seoul Record Pub. ❤️
Two of our nephews were adopted from South Korea and today we were able to visit the orphanage where they spent the first 6 months of their lives. They were escorted to the USA at the time of their adoption. This was the first time anyone in our family, aside from the boys, had been there. 🥹😢😭
Quite a day in Seoul. Walked through the Gyeongbokgung Palace grounds and Bukchon Village in hanbok; ate Cho Yonsoon’s famous handmade Korean Noodles in Gwangjang Market; struck poses at Dongdaemun Design Plaza and KTO K-Pop center; and finished the night with BB.Q Chicken and speakeasy cocktails.
Empties.
Travel day to our last stop of the trip. We got some Seoul time in tonight.
Fuji-san eventually cooperated as we canoed around Uno Island with our excellent guide.
