Hey all! The boy was in a local dance company’s summer program and one of the groups put Tender in their number. Older song that was new to me. I love the vibe and there’s been a fair bit of “Tender Radio” on Spotify since then.

September 23, 2024: The Last Place You Look
Before this year's eclipse I was trying to find the glasses that I still had from the last eclipse. I knew they were in the garage somewhere, but couldn't find them after tearing through everything. They were nicer ones too (plastic frames instead of paper). I eventually gave up an ordered new ones before they all sold out. Naturally I just found them again. They somehow ended up in a box of random grilling implements. Oh well. Guess I better save them for 2044*!
*There's one in Japan in 2035 that I might consider trying to get to.
