Awesome job, Kendyl Sayuri Yokoyama as Eliza in the Hamilton tour at the Peace Center in Greenville SC last night. You were amazing, and you carried the second half of the show. The best understudy performance I have ever seen in any musical. You had us all with Burn and the finale!

With the new MagicBand+, Statler and Waldorf will specifically insult YOU during Muppet-Vision 3D before the show starts. And they know ALL of your insecurities.

Bill Russell and Nichelle Nichols were both icons in their own right -- challenging and changing public perceptions with dignity, grace and the strength of their example. May they both rest well.

Please buy an Amanda Gorman book today! I just ordered “The Hill We Climb”. I realize I have few followers (I mostly read on Twitter). But her beautiful poem book has been banned in Miami Dade Co FL for being too…something 🤷‍♂️ Not many options except too black.

Hoping my virtual Disney friends, Douglas McKnight and Derek Sasman were safe yesterday in Nebraska, and their friends and family were safe. Those were some nasty storms! But they trained during 3pm torrential storms, protecting drinks at Epcot. So fingers crossed!

Six Miles Tall 👨🏻‍💼🪄✨ Fastpass Because no one would name a horse Lightning Lane when everyone in the world, even at other horse races, called horses that go to the front of the line Fastpasses, even when the horses might be named Fast Lane or Skip The Line

So, I’m far enough south that I couldn’t see the northern lights. But while looking, I caught the ISS flying over! Confirmed it was a viewing time on astroviewer.net. Pretty cool!

Hard to believe it’s been 8 years! Thanks to everyone that has listened over the years.
