2024 Reads: 3 Shades of Blue by James Kaplan 📚
Kaplan writes the history of bop, free jazz, and fusion through the lives of Davis, Coltrane, and Bill Evans. Wonderfully written, but such a tragic story of troubled, addicted men who somehow made such amazing music.
Quite a comeback by the Timberwolves. Denver just went cold in the third quarter and never recovered.
Things you didn’t know you needed until you heard them: a funk cover of Sandra McCracken’s We Will Feast In The House of Zion.
Pentecost: the day you realize that the only red shirt that you own is a Nebraska Cornhuskers jersey. My wardrobe still hasn’t fully adapted to being a member of a liturgical church.

Love hockey and the Stars but glad I didn’t stay up… 9 pm Central start time and game went to 2OT!
2024 Reads: Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse 📚
Simple, interesting, beautiful expression of Buddhism.
One more flight to get home. In theory if I had a rental car here from ORD I could be home sooner than this flight will get me home. But that would mean driving four hours… out of Chicago… during rush hour… Instead I will sit here and eat dinner on the company dime.
2024 Reads: The Future by Naomi Alderman 📚
Not subtle, but imaginative and entertaining. Worth a read. Four stars.
Spent an hour with Apple tech support trying to figure out why my MacBook just refuses to show me the Hilton Honors captive portal screen so I can login. Got escalated to second tier support. Next step: try reinstalling the OS. Sure, I’m game. Go to recovery mode. Turns out reinstalling the OS… requires you to have an internet connection. 😩 Guess my iPad will do for tonight.
