Seeing these Love Boat aspirants waiting to board their floating 24-hour buffet briefly evokes mild notes of existential despair, absurdity, and dread. Still, I hope they find happiness 😉 P.S. Imagining this boarding video with the DJ's Love Boat theme swapped out for Barber’s Adagio for Strings.

The 1st song in this KCRW set — “Stay Where You Are” — has been looping in my head. I love the studio recording, but appreciate this live performance: soulful, wistful, gently evocative, with a lovely melodic shape that stays with you. Hope you enjoy it, too.

I lost an old friend recently. It’s made me think about how quietly people can struggle. If someone comes to mind, reach out. Small moments of connection matter more than we realize. And if you’re having a difficult time, I hope you’ll talk to someone you trust.

At times I wonder why I post here — what I return to is that creative expression, elevated or unadorned, mirrors our inner life. It voices what we cannot always articulate and reminds us we aren’t alone in thought or feeling. Even a single, simple photograph can connect across time and distance.
