Another exhausting week in the books. Why not cap it off with an extra long morning run? 😅 Lying down and perhaps listening to this entire set before stirring again. #Blondie #AgainstTheOdds #Compilation

Sweden 🇸🇪 is the current flag flying after defeating Tunisia 🇹🇳 5-1 last night.

Yesterday, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 defeated Haiti 🇭🇹 1-0 and Australia 🇦🇺 defeated Türkiye 🇹🇷 2-0. So, they are the current flags flying at my house.

Cold and rain curtailing outdoorsy activities today. Curled up with tea, booke and Boris Papandopulo's string quartets. Lovely folksy tunes from the Balkans. #StringQuartets #Papandopulo #Sebastian

It’s the fuchsia boots World Cup. 💕

I was asked what I'll do when teams play to a draw. The team that scored first, in this case Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 goes in front, and the team that scores second, from this match Canada 🇨🇦, goes in back.

After a team wins a World Cup match, I will be flying and sharing that nation's flag, if I have it in my collection. Mexico beat South Africa 2-0.

The White Sox are winning the 2026 World Series

Destroyed my knee for a “guesstimated“ personal best time. 🥹 Still sore and sore about it.

When you just ran the best run of your life and discover that you didn’t start your watch.

After a grueling week of work and travel, I got to sleep the hell in. 😊 Now listening to this set. Each disc is a kind of mystery bag as none of them are in order. #StringQuartets #Shostakovich #Rubio

An energetic start to the day. #Reich #Minimalism #NewYork

They’re saying the White Sox are the best team in the universe

Last night at the Four Seasons Centre, it was a horror opera double bill of Bluebeard's Castle by Béla Bartók and Erwartung by Arnold Schoenberg. Both very gothic, very awesome. First time in the upper upper upper upper deck. Sitting in the 500’s! Where’s my Bartók bobblehead? #Toronto #Opera

Sunday morning listening. Quirky fun. #AnneDudley #TheArtOfNoise #piano

Yesterday, work took me to Bradford West Gwillimbury. There, I encountered a fantastic collection of stones in a kind of neolithic arrangement.

My toddler’s blocks have all cute critters like crabs, pigs, and Lovecraftian horrors

Love to see the AL Central is a hot mess again. Look who’s half a game out of first place. 👀

Morning run rained out. Tomorrow looks more promising. In the meantime, let’s astound the neighbours with Bruckner’s scherzos. #Bruckner #Klemperer

RIP Michael Tilson Thomas. He appears with Stravinsky on one of my favourite album covers.

I’m starting to think this “signing actual free agents for actual money” thing might work.

BREAKING: The Toronto Maple Leafs (baseball edition) have signed former #Dodgers all-star Yasiel Puig to a one-year deal.

A Marxist reading of New York Mets history. Interesting!
