First time planting succulents today. Got some tiny, new ones from the nursery and attempted to propagate a couple shoots from an existing plant.

I received so many edifying replies to my wonderings from this week's Field Journal about what song y'all like to play before you start class. Now, YouTube’s algorithm has taken over and has just served me up Sting and Shaggy: Tiny Desk Concert. 🔥

The harmonies on Shape of My Heart/Lucid Dreams are incredible...
Sting And Shaggy: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
I reflect on a recent post by @mahabali and really dig deep into the hammer metaphor. Plus a song about hammers and the flowers Dave and I planted in the front yard, recently.

Related: On my 1st job out of college, I used to have to drive 1-2 hrs to LA on most days. One time, my 8-hour adv. Excel class was scheduled on the 4th floor of a building with no elevator. I had to set up and tear down 24, 15 lb “lunch box" computers that day. 😳
