I once came upon someones going at it in a car parked right on the street. 7 - We need more of this, everywhere, all the time.

😂 thanks for the breakdown!! I’ve walked by people in the car twice. My street is kind of remote and a lot of people come to it for that very reason!!

Harry’s empty cereal bowls. My kid was like that, emerging from his lair to obsess in our only shower over cleanliness. I enjoyed sharing a little of your life today.

Your last sentences always encapsulate everything. A high five to the snap but also universal truths that stay much longer than a snap.😉

Life in the thicker parts of scenes that unrelated yet somehow tie a shoelace together to end on a musical note of happiness to my eyes that see and ears that hear travels through the alleys straight bourbon shot glass that soothes the whole weariness within. Every word wails a street beat that carries the tune and one must read/listen to the end.

Harry laying out his clothes every night is... just so real. And so wonderful. And, obviously, though I haven't met Harry, it feels like this part of him (the laying out of clothes, while everything else is or can be messy) must be a special part of what makes him uniquely Harry. And those moments come to life, reading these words in your Sunday Snap... thank you for them.

The video of the concert at the end was an unexpected treat. I kept thinking, as I was listening to them, that a) they are all good musicians, and b) they've spent quite a bit of time not just playing together but playing or rehearsing this tune, with its overtones of ragtime and an almost Schubertian or Mozart-like feeling, and c) when they play together, it sounds like they've done something which really good musicians often do, spend some time and energy working out the arrangement, which voice comes in when, who carries the melody, how the harmony lines are playing counter-point, it's all so smooth and wonderfully organic and toe-tapping but you just know that, under the surface, some fine musicians have spent a lot of time working this piece out together, and it probably both sounds the same every time but also each time they play it, it's different.

Thanks again for this wonderful tapestry of words, weaving moments and feelings and acute observations... into such a cool 'whole'.
