I see that the Washington Nationals are still allowing that racist to sit right behind home plate wearing a symbol of hate. #NATS #NATIONALS #MLB

It seems like the honeymoon is over. These people could have been living out their lives sitting on a beach sipping drinks with little umbrellas. But their hate and greed just took over.

I was sorry to hear the Dave Mason has cancelled the remainder of his 2025 shows due to ongoing health issues. Wishing him well.

I saw The Who for $15 in 1982.

These shows at the Westminster Church in DC are fantastic. This is a great opportunity to #SupportLiveMusic and take in the sounds of the Sol Roots band.

This little beauty flew away before I could capture a better photo. #Birds

I discovered the culprit.

These photos are from the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. We hosted a reception there last year on behalf of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. A must see when you're in the Phoenix area.
