pickRich Mullins was a Christian musician in the 80s/90s, who died in a car accident in 1997. This book, written by a good friend of his a few years later, is an odd sort of biography. It doesn't really outline his life or career, but rather looks at key aspects of Rich's faith and beliefs through his lyrics and writing. I grew up on Rich's music and it definitely has shaped the way I view God and His love; Rich's lyrics still can hit me sideways ⬇
so-soI think Gouverneur Morris is one of the most interesting and unique of all the Founders. He had a wooden leg and was recognized for his eloquent speech & writing. As part of the Committee of Style, Morris helped create one of our most iconic phrases: We the People. Plus, who can say his name w/o a cockney accent?!
The book itself is sparse, no doubt due to a lack of sources, but is a fine, if unexciting, biography of a lesser known Founder.
On Oct 30, 2024, I accidentally left this book in Los Angeles. It was easily replaceable but the Stonehenge bookmark from our first trip to England was not. Thanks to my cousin Summer, both book and bookmark arrived back at my house in Utah on Apr 26, 2025!

pickI think the sun is going down on my last summery day 😭 so I am sitting on my balcony reading about books and drinking a birthday bottle. I think the tagged book will be the one I take to the Sydney Writer‘s Festival this year to read. Turns out my parents will be in old Sydney town for dad‘s drs appointments to do with his accident not this January but the last so we will catch up for dinner both nights and they have booked the same hotel as me.
Another day, another POS sounding off about things they don't understand. I don't care about HP; therefore, don't care about JK. I don't agree with her AT ALL about trans issues, though there could be room for empathy if she made any attempt to grow from the reaction. But this just proves she is fine being uninformed and delights in causing controversy. She has no skin in this game. She is just a miserable person and she can f*ck all the way off.
One of Jimmy's first movies was the remake of Seventh Heaven in 1937. I never watched the original. As much as I love Wizard of Oz, my favorites are Katherine Hepburn's Jo in Little Women, Philadelphia Story (Jimmy won Oscar), and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington ❤️❤️❤️. I should've done better, but I only cared for Stewart, Hepburn, or Grant.

So much music news lately: the Grammys, Fire Aid concert, Super Bowl halftime. But I'm going old-school. On Alan Alda's podcast, Clear and Vivid, he recently interviewed neuroscientist and musician Daniel Levitin, and they spoke about using music to treat Parkinson's disease, which Alan suffers from. Scientist have been using songs with strong beats, like I've Got Rhythm, to help patients relearn how to walk!
