Here on the west coast—
we be cheering for new york
and it's Knicks in Five!
👏
Loved the huge comeback—
that 4th quarter was like Wow!
Dribble; dribble slam
🏀
It's been a long time
Now I can wear my vintage
blue orange again!

Woke up to some lovely opera and was reminded today is National Hamburger Day. I thought of @ShakeShack which I haven't had in awhile, and dang it was so damn good!😋🍔🍟 Then I got nostalgic about its origins, USHG, NYC... yeah, in another life I was probably an archivist!🤓💡

And true this: "A city is not gauged by its length and width, but by the broadness of its vision and the height of its dreams."🌉🗽 -Herb Caen

Love this because it's so true and it's way too cool🍸🍟 Gin, dry & well-chilled, a lil dirty and a few olives, please😚 https://t.co/mmICqbXumo

[L i s a @OperArtz]

Speaking of martinis 😚🍸... still chilled, straight-up dry and w olives, or lemon rind on the rim's fine (but none of that espresso and other flavored thingamajig tini's please, lol!) https://t.co/kOQWy0bdLj

Opera is breathless—
holding on to every word,
breathing in each phrase
❤️
marvelous voices
when it all comes together
with the orchestra
☀️
it's Art at its height
simply must be experienced
its depth, amazing
🚀

[L i s a @OperArtz]

That deep ocean blue—
it's the most refreshing view,
knew it my whole life
🏖
playing in the sand
Yeah it's IYKYK,
with sun in our eyes
☀️
Adventures abound—
so much learning to savor,
so much life to live

There's nothing like some good ole rockin' roll and Scottish Breakfast tea to start off the week🤘 It's been awhile... good thoughts of the early 90s when I first heard these guys rock it out🎺 It's The Whole of the Moon!

And for the 80s, since coming across it a few years ago—80s80s Wave is turned up all around surround sound all the time over here💃 It's timeless and sooo good! https://t.co/WazEEDsxm9

Every once in awhile, I come across a really cool resource online and https://t.co/I2pFAlAaKR is it this time around. It's about the timeless magic of discovery and fun it imbues✨️🎶 Just select a decade and smile w tunes from around the world (I'm esp enjoying the 60s & 70s)!

It's Easter Sunday🌷
and Spring is all around us—
sunshine and blue skies
☀️
Wish upon a star
as new beginnings abound—
continuity
🪷
Some needs a fixin',
while others fine & dandy—
let all unravel

If there's a lesson:
Never take things literal,
think creatively
🎸
It's way too easy
to let words go by wayside—
Be true and make time
🥁
Just some random thoughts
as Spring is upon us now—
sweetness & sunshines

This is really kinda cool— Radio Shack catalogs in flipbook format📖🌐 https://t.co/s8AsprfCk5 Now I'm gonna go view available digitized flipbook versions of Banana Republic (safari era), Sears & J. Peterman catalogs. Forget 90s nostalgia, it's the 80s where it's at🤩 Fun stuff!

Opera remains very relevant despite what some actor guy said on an interview. Words matter & the guy wasn't being responsible for what he said because frankly—many people do care about opera & ballet✨️

Signifying the balance between tradition and innovation. We go to the opera for it all, including admiring the design & craftsmanship that goes into the making of the curtains🪡🧵 https://t.co/QHr3VGKC8a

Yay to One Battle After Another, and the other super creatives at this year's 98th Annual Academy Awards👏 And that Streisand tribute to Redford, along w his quote: "The glory of art is that it can not only survive change, it can lead it."💖 https://t.co/3nUMF7VUWg

Today is Day 5
of the Lunar New Year when
the action begins
🧧
Galloping forward
towards the sparklers and lights
bursting with color
🧨🎇
Enjoying dumplings
readying for this new year
with bold energy

Which alters when it alteration finds
Or bends with the remover to remove
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests & is never shaken.”
