Thursday miscellanea #357

Locals, if you haven’t yet had the heat on, your luck looks likely to run out this weekend.
Nathan made second chair horn for concert season. Proud of him for stepping up and doing something different, and proud of him for putting the work in for a good tryout.
True confession stemming from a comment on a Kelly Kazek piece this week: I love the Crimson Tide. But I don’t like Rammer Jammer. It’s fun. I have participated. But it’s not very classy.
I loved The Wiz. I dug the production design, and the music was great. There’s a live production
of it coming in a couple of weeks. Think I’ll need to catch that.
Dad was over for dinner earlier this week and fell in love with Alexa. I think he’s getting an Echo for Christmas now.
The 2016 IndyCar schedule is out, and we get an oval in April (the return to Phoenix)! Yay!
It looks like my favorite mobile setup right now is carrying my Lumia 830 and my (SIM-less) Fire Phone. I share the 830’s connection, and I can do everything I want to do. It’s a fair bit in my pocket, but it’s manageable. Interesting that I may be the happiest yet carrying neither a tablet nor a keyboard.
