As has become my annual birthday tradition, I carved a pumpkin and helped my kids with theirs. I've been playing the Hamilton soundtrack in my headphones on loop at work lately, reveling in the music, then in the genius of the whole musical, then in the emotional power of it, and then specifically in the cello parts. And oh, the cello parts!
I love that the dictionary.com WotD is logophobia on hallowe'en; a dictionary, whose existence is based on words, on a holiday about spooky and fright. Its pretty on the nose. Its also something that sounds horrible to me - I can hardly imagine having a fearful psychological response to words themselves. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum - a logophiliac, I guess?
Anyway, not much to say, had a fun birthday with friends, family, pumpkins, bacon, a hundred happy facebook messages, and a new episode of Westworld. Great day.
Here, have some more pumpkins:
