From the song “Silent Running”… Swear allegiance to the flag Whatever flag they offer Never hint at what you really feel. Teach the children quietly For some day sons and daughters Will rise up and fight while we stood still.

So there was something called a Super Bowl” on television tonight (Sunday)? I don’t know. I was watching reruns of Sherlock on PBS.

I received an email today notifying me that our regional arts festival has “suddenly decided to sunset” after 55 years. I can’t help but think it’s because of the current political climate - artists are afraid of doing things in public less they incurred the wrath of the American SS in Washington.

On this day, we remember the astronauts of Apollo 1. January 27, 1967. Godspeed, all of you. #NASA #Apollo1

It’s been just over 45 years since I first heard the music, but “The Enterprise” from Jerry Goldsmith’s ST:TMP score still gives me goosebumps. By the time that piece is over, I’m almost to the point of tears, it is so beautiful. #filmmusic #JerryGoldsmith #ST:TMP

You can’t really trust the Apple weather app. Right now where I live it is saying the temperature is 0°F - a big old goose egg. However, the National Weather Service and my own weather station say that it’s it is 6°F. I know who I’m going to believe, and it’s not 🍏

I never had a good fortune to meet the man, but I read a lot of what he wrote while I was learning about severe weather.

I just heard about some sad news for the film music community. Noted composer, orchestrator, & film music historian John W. Morgan passed away after a long illness. He was a big part of saving & reconstructing film music from classic films (along with William Stromberg). RIP Sir. #filmmusic

You know you watch too many movies whenever you hear a certain pitch scream you actually say “Wilhelm Scream!”either silently or out loud. Never fails. 😁

Oh no! What am I gonna do without TikTok?! Oh, that’s right. I never used it, nor watched a video on it. So life will go on and so much more than better without that app. My life without TikTok, Facebook, Twitter is excellent.

Amen

Apple’s AI failed me tonight. I followed the instructions and tried to make a emoji of a photograph of me that was in my camera roll, and it wouldn’t do it. So much for “Apple Intelligence”. 😁😎

Why does the weekend go so fast, and the work week - for me Monday through Friday - goes so slow? Is it some relativistic thing? I don’t blame Einstein. I should probably blame the Universe, right?

One of the bad things about getting older… You lose more people than you gain. I just lost the third friend and as many months.

Yep. And I can do math by hand, use a slide rule, and don’t need AI to write things for me.
