Beautiful opening ceremony @paralympics.org.
I wish it had been more promoted and more accessible to watch the Paralympics when I was younger. They should have received just as much coverage and attention as the Olympics all along.
$149 per ticket (just myself) to see The Who for their farewell tour last year. Worth every penny. 22 song set list. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltry can still rock the house in their 80s
26 years ago today, Santana won 8 Grammy Awards for their star-studded, chart-topping album Supernatural, tying Michael Jackson's record for the most awards won in a single night.
It’s the first time the US men’s and women’s hockey teams have won gold in the same Olympics 🥇🥇
First ever Winter Olympics with Team USA as women's and men's hockey gold medalists.
Wow 🥇
Lydia Townsend has done 4-H and competed in wrestling and track. This weekend, she competes in one of the biggest indoor meets in the U.S. 15 minutes away from home: Simplot Games.
Thanks so much to Lydia for such an authentic, in depth chat.

She's just an incredible human and has been so good for so long, all while balancing family demands I couldn't fathom, and being super kind and caring about literally everyone she meets. Seriously, there's not a better athlete to cheer on.
Watching USA vs Sweden women's hockey semifinal. Three goals in the second period alone.
Is this how the rest of the world felt when playing the Dream Team in men's basketball at Barcelona 1992??

Best part of the night 🤣
#MilanoCortina2026
I have watched Olympics opening ceremonies for 30 years. This was absolutely brilliant. Well done, #MilanoCortina2026 on the simultaneous live stream from the multiple host cities for the parade of athletes and lighting of the historic *two* cauldrons!
The cover of Oasis's album Definitely Maybe rests against a white shelf with speakers behind it while a turntable above it spins the LP.
Happy belated birthday to me.
Last gift to myself arrived today 🎶

A pilot just flew through one of the strongest aurora storms in years — and saw the sky explode in color. From the cockpit of a Boeing 787, pilot Matt Melnyk had a view like no one else. Flying at 37,000 feet over Manitoba, he watched as the auroras filled the entire sky.
Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder
Fitting to reach my favorite chapter on New Year's Day during my annual beginning-of-year reading of my absolute favorite book. 📖🔔🎆
Happy New Year to everyone except the young guy who failed to signal while making a right turn, didn't slow down and came within inches of hitting me while I was walking in a crosswalk this morning 😠
First song on the turntable for 2026:
As, Stevie Wonder
Welcome to Marlowe's 10th annual New Year's Eve Vinyl Countdown! My analog version of Spotify Wrapped, but much more fun and engaging.
These are the LPs and 45s I played the most in 2025. Nonstop music until midnight 🎵
Wish I lived somewhere that observed Boxing Day or Saint Stephen's Day...

Twelve years. Dad's been gone for exactly one third of my life as of today.
This weekend felt heavy. Today I'm still trying to find the words.
I'll say this much for now. You can miss someone with every breath in your body but also be grateful they are no longer suffering 24/7.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.
My final freelance assignment of 2025 ✅️and thus concludes my 13th season of covering XC in Idaho😮

Rocky Mountain, competing as Meridian, placed 22nd as a team today with 455 points at #NikeCrossNationals in Portland. Boise's Audrey Orme was the top Idaho girls finisher with 44th place in 18:13.3. Rocky Mountain's Hallie Heemeyer was 52nd in 18:23.6 #idpreps
Only $ I spent this weekend was at a small local bookstore I'm thankful to have discovered and frequented this year. Today was their first 'Cider Monday'--free hot cider, cookies and 10 percent off purchases. #shopsmall
Saw Wicked For Good this weekend and already want to see it again.
This will do until then. Don't think I've watched Wizard of Oz since before Dad died. Always amazes me that this was released in 1939
The Rocky Mountain girls are returning to Nike Cross Nationals after placing second at #NXRNorthwest over the weekend, and Boise's Audrey Orme also qualified individually. Boise awaits a potential at-large team bid from Nike #idpreps
