On second thought....

I was going to post more leaf pictures and whine about the change of seasons, the time change and my confusing, confounding new job, but screw that. Instead here's a video to make you laugh with satire and irony, and a video to make you laugh and cry with wonder.


Roy Zimmerman's extraordinary political satire:



Hope it made you laugh too. Roy is performing in Florida this week.


Liberty and Sophie encounter a Murmuration:



I've watched this 6 times now and still get goosebumps, and smile along with them at 1:48.

My kids found it fascinating, and it led us down a rabbit hole of youtube videos on such things. The world is a mysterious and wondrous place, my friends.

Happy Sunday and have a great week.

p.s.

OK, maybe just ONE leaf picture, one of the 904 I've taken in November, one photo showing the shrub that now has ONE leaf left clinging to it. not that I'm complaining.  Oh wait, maybe I am. Oh Well.

p.p.s.

I'm reading an Advanced Copy of  And So It Goes  Kurt Vonnegut: A Life,  and it is just so damn sad. I knew he survived the fire bombing of Dresden. I knew he was damaged by war. I did not know he came home on leave prior to his deployment to surprise his family and his mother for Mother's Day, and that his mother committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills that weekend, while he was home. His mom was a mess, and never recovered from the loss of social status during the Depression, and Kurt never felt loved in the first place, but this? Too cruel. I'm less than 60 pages into the 420 page book, and my heart is just breaking for poor Kurt. I'm going to have to reread a lot of his work through new eyes when I am finished with the biography.

That is all for now.
