This sentence struck me: there is a "catalog of worlds" maintained by the International Astronomical Union. nyti.ms/2GJuwwz
Reason to love Chicago #527: every 7 or so years, our Lyric Opera stages one of Mozart鈥檚 sublimest pieces, Don Giovanni.
Were I ever forced to name my single favorite string quartet (god forbid) it would be LvB鈥檚 Rasumovsky #3, in C.
Reason to love Chicago #333: such pulsating, professional, live theater, so easily available.
A somewhat baffling map of where in the world certain sports are most popular.
May I put in a word for yellow鈥擝aseball! 鈿撅笍
Go CLE. I鈥檇 love a CLE-MIL World Series.
Reason to love Chicago #1,959: this particular underpass on Kinzie near Clinton. Talk about liminal space鈥攖hen experience it. Here with 3 distinct camera settings. The camera picks up more than the human eye here, which is one reason this is a compelling photographic locale.
Reason to love Chicago #2,012,318: we can get Autumnal leaf colors like anyone.
I love Shostakovich鈥檚 Piano Concerto 2.
In F.
There is yet beauty in this world.
I so not have a particular favorite recording. But anything Bernstein did was well thought-out.
Reason to love Chicago #1,594: wow do we get evening views.
Now and then.
The Great Blue Heron is back! (And seemingly uninterested in the casino being built across the river.)
Reason to love Chicago #1,911: our paramount orchestra and Wunderkind conductor, Klaus M盲kel盲. Precision brass and Mahler鈥檚 9th鈥攁 winning combination. I eagerly await their first complete Mahler cycle (and LvB, Sibelius, and Shostakovich cycles).
