Back At It! Sort of!

Well, I slept GREAT last night, but I still feel out of sorts today. I could really use another day off, but my favorite nearly-95-year-old-Japanese client awaits!!

Well, he probably doesn’t know that he “awaits” because I’m guessing he’s still sound asleep. But on some spiritual plane, he “awaits”! So off I must go!

OH!

And here’s an interesting coincidence — my favorite new person in the world, Dennis, is half-Japanese! (His mom was Japanese.)

I find that kinda ironic, don’t you??

Anyway. I’m thinking we will head out for sushi & sashimi (and sake) today, but I will let my client decide when I get there (and wake him!). So we shall see! (But as you know, he rarely says no to sashimi and sake…)

This is from James Tabor. So interesting as well as exciting!!

It is in Hebrew, so if you don’t speak Hebrew, click the CC icon, then click Settings and select Subtitles, then OPTIONS, and choose your language.

“The ratio of Lead isotopes in the bones of those in the Talpiot Jesus Family tomb match the ancient water supply of Sepphoris/Nazareth, not that of Jerusalem. This is a segment of a lecture given by Moshe Sharif, retired geologist from the Geologic Survey of Israel, based on the work of geologist Aryeh Shimron and samples collected in co-operation with the Israeli Antiquities Authority.”

A Lead Isotope Connection: The Talpiot Jesus Tomb and the Ancient Sepphoris/Nazareth Water System. (4 mins):

And just FYI, assuming all the psyops in Israel are over by then, I am finally, finally FINALLY going to go to the Holy Land with James Tabor’s “Tracking Jesus” archeology/history tour –which includes going to Nazareth — when the tours resume next year. I cannot wait. It will be a lifetime’s dream come true for me.

Well, it’s looking as if maybe FIVE people in Latvia take their cellphones to concerts with them, which is a step above the 2 people in Norway who did…

However, so far, it’s also looking as if those same 5 Latvian people also had lousy seats last night….

Anyway. This was the best I could get, photo-wise, from Nick Cave’s Solo Tour with Colin Greenwood on bass, in Riga yesterday.

A photo of Nick’s image on the large screen, from a distance:

Here’s hoping tonight yields something a little closer to the stage!! We shall find out!!

Then after tonight, it’s off to Bulgaria for 2 nights next week. Alas, both shows are also SOLD OUT.

However, if you hurry, and if you’re planning to be in Macedonia on Aug. 22nd (and who isn’t!!??) there are STILL tickets available for that show!! Buy them HERE. (Between now and the end of the tour on September 11th, the Macedonia show is the only show left that is not currently sold out.)

Ronnie Wood has a new album coming out September 14th –“Fearless”, an anthology of his songs from 1965 – 2025. And yesterday he released the first track from it, “You’re So Fine”.

You can listen to it HERE on Amazon, but you can also listen on Spotify, etc.

Phil is planning to do a livestream tonight at 8PM eastern time. Check here later to confirm, though.

It would be so nice to get some intel from him, finally, wouldn’t it?? We shall see.

The situation in DC gets curiouser and curiouser…. and seemingly less and less about “the homeless” and more and more about perhaps some “high profile arrests”???? As massive protests are appearing to get underway…

And that’s not counting the alleged Ukrainian assassin they took out in Alaska Sunday night….

il donaldo wasn’t kidding, was he? More popcorn, indeed!!
