This is unbelievably insulting…and arguably one of the reasons Republicans are losing younger demographics by startling numbers. Possible that this patronizing attitude is not a compassionate strategy…and certainly not a winning one.

A little holiday cheer for your feeds. ❤️

Sometimes, you confess to the very sweet barista at Starbucks that you have to stay up until you finish a paper, and she very kindly slips an extra shot of espresso into your drink. RESEARCH, HERE I COME.

I have the best coworkers. So grateful to be a part of the crazy, talented team at Dallas Music Network! ❤️

A little girl wrote to the Los Angeles Department of Animal Control asking if she could have a pet unicorn. Their response is everything. ❤️

Sometimes, you're making a spreadsheet with addresses, taking note of your friends' spouses and addresses, and in the "spouse" column for your priest friends, you put "God"...and it makes you chuckle, even if no one else knows. ...except I guess that, now, someone else knows. 😂

I feel like your 30s are the age when you start to realize that "night coffee" is a mistake.

A dear friend sent me this today when I needed it today, so I'm sharing it just in case you need it too. :) "For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ." (Gal 1:10)

Music is a gift from God that unites us, remakes us, and heals us. Working with a dear friend on a song to honor the love he has for his wife was an incredible reminder of that. Tony Mendoza's beautiful track, "Why I Love You," is out now: open.spotify.com/album/19K0aVpW…. Check it out!

So...I got a sales report from Spotify in which ten pages of reported streams amounted to 25 cents. Just, you know, in case anyone's wondering about the state of the music industry these days.

We all have people in our lives who've made us who we are. I helped my dear friend and student write this song about his person: open.spotify.com/album/19K0aVpW…. Who's YOUR person? Who's helped you become who you are today? Tag them!

If the only thing that comes from my dissertation presentation is that more people get the joke when I reference John Cage's "4:33," that *might* be worth it. #musicnerdforlife

Happy International Women's Day to all of the incredible ladies out there. I see you!

Every time I get back on Twitter, I'm reminded why I got off of Twitter. Anyone else?

Singing Mass anywhere is a great gift, but there is something very, very special about getting to serve as cantor in the parish where I grew up.
