Today’s musings brought to you by oh-my-gosh-the-weather-actually-looks-like-a-pool-day. So we’ll keep it short and sweet.
Also happy belated Bastille Day.
The weather around here has been a mixed bag of beautiful summer days and uncharacteristically mild, sometimes even cold, rainy days. While I don’t do great with temperature extremes, some hot weather sans thunderstorms would be nice.
I finished up an audiobook on World War II British women codebreakers, The Rose Code by Kate Quinn, and I’ve been catching up on podcasts. A couple episodes worthy of checking out …
Ragamuffin Band member Jimmy Abegg appears on the True Tunes podcast for a cool conversation about music, art, life, and dealing with blindness. There is a notable interlude by the host discussing Peter Gabriel’s seminal work, the album So from the mid-80s.
James Bryan Smith hosts a conversation with Casey Tygrett on his Things Above podcast “about the impact the pandemic has had on us now that we have been dealing with it for over a year.” A couple of notable points … the importance of recognizing how good God has made the physical world … and the story of Warren Zevon, when asked by David Letterman what he knew when dealing with terminal cancer that David didn’t, responding, “How good a sandwich is supposed to taste.”
Everyone go listen to some cool stuff and appreciate God’s creation. And maybe have a sandwich.
