I went to see Sleepwalker at a local theater.  Here's a link to a review that sums up some of my thoughts. I went to see Some Like it Hot in Boston. Megg & I got a fabulous dinner beforehand at Yvonne's. Our waitress even brought over a delicious dumpling dish for us to try (sans lobster). Friday date nights with Dan Running into Riley & her bestie Ellie at Lucky Finn, my current local favorite coffee shop- after the gym on a Saturday morning. It was so hilarious! Very much enjoyed Pluribus on Apple TV+.  Seeing Millie in Finding Nemo Jr. and an early dinner after with family. Mani/pedis with Megg, Eme & Hattie for Hattie's birthday. Super Bowl- while we lost it's always fun to watch. I enjoyed the commercials, and had fun cheering on the Seahawks kicker Jason Myers who played football at Marist where I went to college (now Marist University) Hattie's 8th birthday dinner. Dad and I did a Zoom beforehand in celebration of what would have been Mom's 70th with a few of her cousins.   Quote of the Week Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.

    In this retreat talk, Jogen explores the inner disturbance that drives spiritual practice and the ways mistaken perception, fixed beliefs, and self-image shape our suffering. Drawing on Zen teachings, poetry, and personal reflection, he examines how we live in mental representations rather than direct experience, and how practice invites us to shed accumulated knowledge and see more clearly. The talk points to deep yielding and decisive, wholehearted engagement as gateways to freedom, inviting practitioners to soften resistance, question the reality of the separate self, and fully inhabit the living moment of practice as it unfolds.

    Send a textWhat if connecting to the right sound felt as simple as joining Wi‑Fi? We dive into Auracast and Google Fast Pair with Dr. Heike Heuermann, to show how broadcast audio, lower latency, and smarter pairing are about to make hearing aids—and earbuds—far more useful in the real world.We start with Heike's rare blend of physics and cognitive psychology, the lens that turns decibels into human experience. From that vantage point, Auracast (Bluetooth LE Audio) makes a decisive shift from one‑to‑one links to one‑to‑many streams: a single TV, airport gate, classroom, or worship service can reach countless listeners at once. The result is practical and inclusive. Travelers subscribe to only their gate's announcements. Partners follow the same show without extra boxes. Gym members pick the instructor over background noise. In places once dominated by telecoils, lightweight transmitters and an Auracast Assistant app replace complex loop installs, and because earbuds connect too, stigma drops while adoption climbs.Sound quality and endurance get a real upgrade. LE Audio's LC3 codec widens bandwidth, cuts latency to keep lips in sync, and reduces power draw so all‑day streaming is realistic. Multi‑stream support unlocks fresh experiences: choose a language in a cinema with a tap, or select exhibit audio in a museum without borrowing headsets that ignore your hearing profile. For work, seamless switching across phones, laptops, and tablets meets modern hybrid life, reducing the friction that once discouraged users from staying connected.We also unpack why partnerships matter. Starkey's collaboration with Google brings global ecosystem strength—Fast Pair discovery, Android reach—together with deep hearing science, DNN‑driven processing, and clinical insight. That combination accelerates a shift away from accessories like TV streamers as televisions adopt LE Audio broadcasting, simplifying homes while expanding access.If you care about hearing technology, accessibility, and the future of connected audio, this conversation offers clear use cases, fewer setup headaches, and a vision that treats connectivity as part of care. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs the update, and leave a review to tell us where Auracast would help you most.Omega AI hearing aids don't just keep up. They redefine what it means to be modern and discreet yet durable and comfortable for all-day wear.They're waterproof, everyday-proof, and designed to go the distance of your day and then some. All while tailored to your unique hearing needs.
