7/1/2026 - Great American Ball Park - What an unbelievable show; if you’re interested in the exact playlist as we saw it, you can listen to my version of it here. Noah was a phenomenal act; while we had been trying for a full week to obtain tickets, we just had no luck getting them on Ticketmaster, so day of Julie and I walked up to will call to see if they had anything, fully expecting it was a no. 5 minutes later we were walking out ON TO THE FIELD just feet from the extended stage. Noah played with such energy and what can I say, he really made a fan out of me (been listening like nonstop since). If you like Mumford and OG Black Keys (that kind of raw sound) you would dig him. The more I listened, the more his music grew on me. Rating = VG

Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut I don’t have words for how much I hated this book; it made absolutely no sense to me at any point during the drudgery that was the multi-day torture session of plodding through this “book” that in my opinion would have been better left unopened. I can only surmise after all that, that I am NOT the intended audience and therefore it does not resonate with me. I’m sure for someone this was enjoyable, but I just can’t imagine for the life of me, WHO that person would be. ...

Every once in a while one of those books hits your perifery in a way that you know there’s something about it that’s pulling you towards it; like gravity and orbit are intertwined. This book was like that for me; did I like it? Yes, if I were to offer a rating, we’re probably in the 6.5-7/10 range. More enjoyable than a stick in the eye. I like the sarcasm, I like the…well…realism if we can call it that. ...
