Cute and sweet and all, and I’m glad she’s okay. Really. But I’m not sure that “we couldn’t find our child for a few hours” is news-worthy.

Glad to hear he’s recovering well. People underestimate the degree of deconditioning that happens after just a few weeks of immobilization and hospitalization. Looking forward to more great music from him.

Florida is the darkest timeline.

Yes it was. The city had a super eerie feel back then, didn’t it?

Oh that’s cool, I didn’t know the raised oar salute was a thing, but that makes sense.

They sometimes have boats too tall to pass through along the river, but they just raise one bridge at a time to minimize traffic disruptions. Kind of a fun spectacle to see if one hasn’t seen it before
