WHAT I'M READING
I try and read a Tom Wolfe book every summer; they’re fun and fast and feel very warm-weather to me. Since moving my family and home office to Rocket City (Huntsville, AL), I’ve been digging deeper into Golden Age of Space Travel.

WHAT I'M LISTENING TO
Baba Yetu by the United States Navy Band. A riveting performance. The song might have been written for a video game, but its punchy, uplifting message is worthy of this stellar performance by Musician 1st Class Bill Edwards and the Navy Band. And there’s a nice hospital ship kicker midway through that cues some summer patriotic razzle-dazzle feelings.
