The amazing Typewriter Concerto...
For anyone who needs a smile today...
This is Leroy Anderson's 'The Typewriter' for orchestra, complete with all the familiar 'dings' and clitter-clattering of a typewriter. The soloist here is Alfredo Anaya, with conductor Miguel Roa

By now, many of you have probably seen the news: I have cancer. Today, I want to tell you what actually happened — in my own words.
How a trip to the emergency room turned into being rushed to an ICU.
How close I came to not making it home.
The people who saved my life.
The little girl who gave me every reason in the world to keep fighting.
And what happens now.
There's a treatment plan. There's hope.
And I will, OF COURSE, be fighting.
But there's another part of this that I need to talk about, too.
I need some help.
That's not particularly easy for me to say.
I've spent most of my adult life making music and being supported by this incredible community of friends, fans, fellow artists and wonderfully weird people all over the world.
Today, I'm asking that community to rally around me in a different way.
This week's Sunday Story is probably the most important thing I've ever written.
I'm home.
I'm alive.
And now, together, we fight.

Working thread of published research on COVID 19. Every claim links to a real study. Published, peer-reviewed research from journals like Nature, The Lancet, BMJ, and Nature Medicine. Not speculation, this is what the mainstream science says. Please take it seriously.

Harvard kids singing Radiohead’s “Creep.”
This could have gone very wrong.
Then the lead singer opens his mouth.
The Harvard Veritones have won at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella — the real-world competition that inspired Pitch Perfect.
Turn the sound on for this one.

This is quite an extensive piece on Long Covid.
My longform piece for @SmithsonianMag, on the science of Long COVID, the progress researchers have made in shedding light on it, and the many lives profoundly diminished by this condition. Scientists still have a lot to learn, yes, but they're also farther along than many think: smithsonianmag.com/innovatio…

It irritates me that Ghislaine Maxwell is being served better meals than the sailors on USS Abraham Lincoln.

NPR did learn that there's a trick if you are applying in person in Washington and do not want a passport with Trump's image: Choose extra pages. The State Department says the 250th commemorative passport is only available in the standard, 28-page book

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesn’t care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

San Diego area locals know about Dudley’s Bakery. A stopover on the way to Julian in the mountains, their many kinds of breads are legend. Can’t wait to see what the new owners do with the place. sandiegouniontribune.com/202…
