Here's a new video for my piece titled "Quiescent". Many of the pieces on my "City Lights Hide the Stars" album were inspired by incidental film music, so I am really enjoying the process of creating mini movies for the compositions. I look at it as film scoring in reverse. youtu.be/NPwrq8Cp6Q4

Japan has imported South Korean rice for the first time in over two decades amid surging domestic prices for the staple grain.

I so love this crazy Irish Setter. He can be so insane, as is the nature of this breed, and then so cool. #IrishSetter

We have a proper storm coming in and it is getting quite windy. There are times I find the wind very fatiguing when it blows for several days, but after most of January, February and March being so dry I’m quite happy to have the wind and rain. #weather

Three weeks ago today, I hatched tiny duckling - they were so small they couldn’t make it out of the egg. Today, tiny duckling is enormous, thriving & full of life. I love them, and I’m proud to be their duck mum. How it started, how it’s going. #tinyduck #ducklings

Mom wants me to fly back to Chicago and spend some time with her. I’m a US citizen so should be OK, but I’m still nervous. The very fact that I need to think about this is so very wrong.

Time for a healthy Japanese style breakfast. Young greens from the garden, two surprise quail eggs from our youngest brood, sake kasu pickled baby melon and okra plus nukazuke (a hack using bread, beer and salt) daikon. #food #breakfast #Japanese #和食

@willdalrymple.bsky.social my Irish Setter absolutely devoured your book. He only got to the early sections but seems to think it was good so far. (I ordered a new copy so he also helped sales of your book)

This is still consistently the #1 choice of beers from my friends who’ve tried any given 5-6 beers I happen to have on tap. Vienna Lager from the 1870 recipe courtesy of @akrennmair.bsky.social #beer #Bier #ViennaLager #HomeBrew #Lager
