Accordion Day

I went to visit my mother today. She slept the whole time I was there.

I had forgotten that Sunday morning was sing along time hosted by the son of one of the residents. He plays beginner song book kind of songs on an accordion and sings along. The residents get together and listen and some of them sing along too.

I think the experience taught me that I am seriously starving for live music. It’s pretty bad.

I wrote down the set list, in case anyone wants to make a playlist on the streaming service (not Spotify) of their choice.

Awful Baseball

I just checked the score of the Red Sox game. They are playing Toronto and they are losing in the top of the fifth inning.

It happens, right?

No.

They are losing 21-3.

Twenty-one to three.

ADDENDUM: It’s 27-3 now. Yippee.

ADDENDUM #2: Final score, 28-5. Welcome to life post all star break. Nice.

More Fountain

Another look at what’s left of the Tenney Castle courtyard fountain in Tenney Park in Methuen, MA. I was hoping the background would have been a little more blurry, but it was my first try. Learning: It’s a process, you know?

Another 1980’s Leftover

Remember when I said I wasn’t going to cross post all of the film blog posts? Maybe someday. Not today.

Here’s another photo my father took at some point back in the 80’s that I had developed a few weeks ago. No idea where this was or when it was taken, but whatever that is on the lower left looks nasty. Did the film start to tear?
